The core concepts courses provide a unique challenge tailored to a student’s programming ability. Students will be challenged through multiple mini projects that specialize on fundamental concepts all programming languages share.
The core concepts courses provide a unique challenge tailored to a student’s programming ability. Students will be challenged through multiple mini projects that specialize in fundamental concepts all programming languages share.
Students will then apply all the concepts they learn to developing a project of their own design that they can carry forward to work on beyond the course.
The tools of the Core Concepts courses involve the Processing program using the Java or Python programming language modes.

Beginner Goals
Our Beginner and Beginner+ classes feature an introduction to processing, specifically programming in Java and Python. These are perfectly suited for students comfortable with the computer and new to programming, or for our introductory graduates.
These programs are made from scratch by the students, and the students are only provided the images and sounds created for RP4K (though all students are also encouraged to create their own resources to use in the program if they wish).

About The Courses
Serpent Temple (Python Processing) features a treasure hunter looking for the ultimate lost treasure. Drake has to avoid snakes, traps, boulders, and various other hazards while riding alligators to get the ultimate gold. This is a beginner-level course meant as an exploratory introduction to coding at each student's pace.
RP4K began in Winnipeg in 1998. Since then we have taught game programming to over 14,000 students who have cumulatively inputted over 5 million lines of code.
Our vision is to be the best in the world at teaching game programming to kids. We have stuck to the maximum of 4 students per instructor since 1998.
In this course, you will learn to use Python, the most popular programming language for data sciences, for data analysis and visualization. Explore Python libraries to more easily sort and analyze data sets for emerging trends.
Enroll for 5-day 55264-A: Introduction to Programming Using Python training from Koenig Solutions accredited by Microsoft. Â In this course you will learn how to write Python code that logically solves a given problem.
Python is one of the most in-demand programming languages. This highly readable object-oriented language is both powerful and relatively easy to learn. Whether you're new to programming or an experienced developer, this course can help you get started with Python.
This training would enable candidates to develop skills to handle requirement volatility and unpredictable challenges during product development in a traditional predictive or planned manner.
Develop scripts in Python that can be used in different application areas. This training is designed for professionals wishing to acquire the basic notions of object-oriented programming using the Python language.
