About Me
As a teacher specialized in programming and ICT, I provide material and resources for the development of analytical, critical, and computational thinking, while also encouraging my students to be creative. I design activities for the cultivation of interpersonal and social skills and a team-working ethos, which are essential for establishing a culture of mutual respect and cooperation. Furthermore, I aim to develop and foster a secure IT environment and an e-safe culture.I have designed and implemented programming courses not only for young but also adult learners. Some of those courses do not require prior programming experience while some others are more advanced so that learners can choose the one best suited to their needs.
Since 2014, I have also been authorized to teach Maths in light of my mathematical background from my university studies. Therefore, in addition to my computer programming courses, I offer primary and secondary maths lessons.

This course aims to engage learners with little or no programming experience to create Java programs. Participants are introduced to object-oriented programming concepts, terminology and syntax, and the steps required to create basic Java programs using the Alice and Eclipse interactive development environments. Hand-on practice enables learners to experience the power of computer programming.
The JavaTM programming language can be challenging for computer programmers with limited or no experience in object-oriented programming. To provide an easy introduction to Java, Alice is explored first in this course, so that fundamental principles and skills are established using 3D animations in a fun, visually rich environment.
When learners become familiar with the concepts of object-oriented programming, they can proceed with the Eclipse integrated development environment (IDE), which is widely used in computer programming. It contains a basic workspace and an extendable plug-in system for customising the environment.

Learn to program in C language from beginner to professionalHello everyone and welcome to this training on programming and more specifically on software development in C, my name is IMAD and I will be your trainer throughout this course
I am a computer engineering student specializing in architecture, software development and web development.
C is a very popular and used language. It is found almost everywhere such as in video games, most PC software and even in embedded. C is a very good candidate if you are looking for a first language to learn software development because it includes many notions that are found in most other languages. Thus mastering C guarantees you a much simpler and faster learning of other programming languages.
In this training for beginners and intermediate in development, we will learn the basics of software development. How from lines of code we can make executable software on our machine. Then we will see the basics of the C language and, among other things, how to manage memory via variables, how to make our program live with loops and conditions or how to use the standard C library (STL) to interact with the user.
Once these basics are acquired, we will increase the level a little with the dreaded pointers and arrays. this is often the part that newbies to C dread the most. But I guarantee you that with me it will finally seem very simple to you ;)
So yes it's a big program but I guarantee you that you won't notice the time passing.
Who is this course for?
- University students specializing in computer science.
- Beginner in software development. C is one of the best languages to embark on the adventure of programming.
- People wishing to learn to develop in C or review and master the basics of this language.
