What this session would cover
Proposed outline — the mentor finalises the agenda once this topic is scheduled.
- 1Why programming fundamentals matters — the common problem: Beginners copy tutorials but can't break a new problem into code on their own.
- 2Core concepts in plain language: Variables, data types, operators, expressions, control flow, functions
- 3Going further: scope, modules, collections, input validation, exceptions, file handling
- 4Framework walkthrough: Problem Decomposition, Read–Run–Modify Practice, Debugging Method (reproduce, isolate, fix, verify)
- 5Practical workflow, built live: A small CLI program with functions, input validation, error handling and file I/O.
- 6How to measure it: Working programs, Bugs found before review, Time to diagnose a failure
- 7An illustrative case (a fictional example, not a client result), then live Q&A on your own situation
Who it's for
- • Students and freshers entering tech
- • Working developers and engineers
- • Tech leads and architects
You'd leave with
- A small CLI program with functions, input validation, error handling and file I/O.
- A working understanding of Problem Decomposition and Read–Run–Modify Practice
- A short list of measures to track: Working programs, Bugs found before review, Time to diagnose a failure
