WELCOME

Welcome to INLS 560. This class section, offered by the UNC School of Information and Library Science, is an online and asynchronous course that provides an introduction to computer programming focusing on language fundamentals and programming techniques for library and information science applications. Course content emphasizes problem-solving through the development of practical applications.

This course is taught with a focus on the Python programming language. However, the core concepts are relevant to most modern programming languages such as Java, JavaScript and C++.

Please note that this course is designed for students with no prior programming experience. If you already know how to program, this is not the course for you.
