What do you need to study to know the Fundamentals of Programming?

Question

Programming

Courses open in the summer, and in one of the points it was important to know the basics of programming. I know what the basics are and even know and understand. But specifically, what you need to know - no. It is not clear what language we will work in, but I know what will be on the blockchain system. I know the basics of Python, at the moment I want to code on it. So what do I need to know so that I can say that I know the basics of programming?

Answer 1

Fundamentals of Programming is a book by D. Knuth "The Art of Programming".
But the one who masters this book at least half does not need any courses.
PS Remember once and for all: courses are one of the many ways to "honestly take money from the population" and nothing more

Answer 2

There are tasks here, by solving which you can roughly judge your skills.

Answer 3

You need to study the general basics, the history of languages, data structures and algorithms:

fundamentals of programming - non-pejvoda skopin
basics of programming - ivanova
databases, application development - rudikov
databases - khomonenko tsigankov maltsev

Answer 4

What the creators of the courses mean by the basics of programming should be found out from them.
I recommend reading the book by Charles Petzold Code + any language at a basic level. This should be enough.
