Programming Starter Kit | Coding Mini-Projects — Websites and Applications

From 42.59 £ /h

Hello - Servus - Greetings ... Future Silicon Whisperer ...

Welcome to this recreational programming class for absolute beginners (but lifelong learners!) who want to take the first small steps into the domain of coding ... and a giant leap into the realm of software.

But no need to fret. You are in safe hands with me — someone who has being tinkering with the computational engineering sciences for well over a decade, publishing novel research, presenting conference talks, and, of course, tutoring curious minds.

It is always rewarding to see a tutee go from building simple websites to developing complex artificial intelligence applications, often in a few short months, which motivates me to continue delivering and refining this course.

For me, our computers are virtual laboratories in which software can be our digital apparatus. The true power of our electronic devices can be unlocked once we become literate in the languages that a computer can understand. This process can be challenging; but it is ultimately a fruitful endeavour.

But before you dive in, you might have a few questions; here is a preemptive measure to answer the common ones:

- - - - - - - -

{Q} I work in the <x> industry/business. So why should I start programming?
{A} Programming skills are becoming increasingly essential in our modern world. Coding is a contemporary craft — one that can be used to solve technical problems, innovate new technologies or even express artistic ideas. (At the very least code can be used automate boring and repetitive tasks, thereby saving considerable time and money!)

{Q} I am <n> years old. Is it too early/late to start coding?
{A} Start coding whenever you feel comfortable and at your own pace ... and you will quickly realise that age is just an unsigned int. That is to say, no prior knowledge will be assumed in this class, and mature students are more than welcome.

{Q} How are sessions organised?
{A} We will have a video call/meeting in which we share our screens over a one- or two-hour period. There will be lots of typing (mostly on your end) but also custom notes and additional resources will be prepared for you.

{Q} How is the syllabus structured?
{A} As a gentle but comprehensive introduction into software carpentry, a tentative outline would involve a four-part sequence:
- Part[0] = Foundational Programming Mechanics
- Part[1] = Coding Best Practices
- Part[2] = Tools of the Trade
- Part[3] = Software Project Lifecycle

- - - - - - - -

The course can, and will, be tailored around your goals and needs; so do feel free to get in touch to brainstorm something that works for you.

Here is to your continued success.

Extra information

- Please use a computer/laptop with a reliable internet connection as well as video-call/screen-sharing application (e.g. Zoom)
- All other custom notes and additional resources will provided to you for free

Python is one of the best, if not the best, language to start learning programming. It is also one of the most widely used languages today, especially in cutting-edge areas such as machine learning.

This popularity means that Python is constantly evolving. It offers a wide range of tools and libraries, which are free and very varied.

As an aeronautical engineer, I like to share my knowledge and derive satisfaction from it by teaching and motivating others.

I'm used to working with people of different ages. I believe in the importance of segmenting learning, visualizing progress, setting concrete goals and practicing regularly.

Beyond these general principles, there is no magic rule or method. Some approaches work with some students but not with others. Adaptation to individual needs is therefore the main objective of private lessons. So I will do my best to find what motivates and helps my student.

Do you want to learn how to program desktop applications in Java, C language, C ++, CSharp (C #), PSeint, Visual Basic .NET, Macros in Excel?

Do you want to learn how to program mobile applications in App Inventor 2?

My teaching methodology is Project Based Learning (PBL).

In this way, to build an application, I will teach you that the really important thing before sitting down to code (by attempt and error) in front of the computer, is the analysis and design of the algorithm (which constitutes 90% of the success of the program to be implemented. ), for this, with an example from the real world, the construction process will be explained: 1. Example with data from the real world, 2. Collection of information on requirements (input data, calculations, output data), 3. Hierarchy of operators (mathematical formulas versus computational formulas), 4. Desk test on a spreadsheet, 5. Constants, variables and data types to use, 6. Algorithm construction, 7. Flowchart, 8. Desk test on paper, 9. Implementation of the algorithm in the chosen programming language, if it is in console mode, it is implemented directly, if it is in form mode, the user interface is drawn on paper (UX) first.

Are you a university student, engineer, or professional who needs to actually use data — not just learn theory about it?
This course is built around real problems and real code. We skip the textbook formulas and go straight to applying statistics and data science the way professionals do: with Python (pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn, matplotlib) and R (RStudio).
What we cover, adapted to your level and goals:
- Descriptive and inferential statistics (the ones that actually matter)
- Data cleaning, exploration, and visualization
- Regression, classification, and intro to machine learning
- Time series and forecasting basics
- R for statistical analysis and academic research

Who this is for:
- University students in statistics, economics, engineering, or biology
- Professionals wanting to move into data analysis or data science
- Researchers who need to process and present data properly

I use Python and R professionally as a working engineer — everything I teach comes from real application, not just academic exercises.

While adults are still debating whether kids should use AI, they are already using it.
The question isn't "should they?" it's "how do we do it intelligently?"

In this course, your child will discover:
✓ What AI actually is: not magic, not mystery. How machines think, what they can do, what they can't
✓ How ChatGPT really works: not just "ask a question and get an answer," but why it responds that way, where it fails, when to trust it
✓ What LLMs are (Large Language Models): in language they understand, not tech jargon
✓ Create with AI: custom avatars, interactive stories, real projects using real tools
✓ Think critically about AI: Bias, privacy, creativity. What does AI do better than humans? What can't it do?
✓ Real-world applications: How AI transforms medicine, education, art, gaming, everyday life

Why this is different:
Most AI courses for kids teach "here's the tool, use it." I teach how to think about AI.
Your child will learn to see AI not as black magic or a solution to everything, but as a powerful tool with real limits.
And, more importantly: that they can control how they use it.

What they take home:
Real projects they created (custom avatar, interactive app, analysis of a real AI case study). A genuine understanding of how it works. And the ability to use AI responsibly and creatively.

Format: Online | 60–90 min sessions | Flexible, adapted to their age and pace

For curious kids asking "How does ChatGPT actually know things?"

Neural Network is a powerful machine learning tool used for classification & prediction. It works as function approximation from experienced data of inputs and outputs entered to the training process to create the model. The concept of neural network can be thought theoretically by mathematics, but the course will include also a practical coding using Matlab Software.
