Syllabus of PB-1 (Programming Basics Part 1)

PB-1 (Programming Basics Part 1)
Syllabus v.1
MEIT (EIT School @ Myeik)

PB-1 is the first one of 3-course series PB-1, PB-2 and PB-3. Each of the 3 courses is expected to take about 3 months (12 ~ 13 weeks). This 3-course PB series is designed to substitute for an introductory EIT Pro course IT-PB that has been given to new EIT Pro trainees by the IT coach of EIT Pro. As a result of ongoing curriculum changes, successful completion of the PB series is required to applicants for admission to EIT Pro.

Major differences between IT-PB of EIT Pro and PB series of MEIT:

IT-PB is taught by the IT coach of EIT Pro while the PB series of MEIT is taught by senior trainees of EIT Pro.
IT-PB takes about 4 months, although the PB series takes 3 months x 3 = 9 months because EIT Pro trainees are given laptops from EIT Pro and can practice programming at home whereas most learners of the PB series don not have their own laptops and cannot practice programming at home. As a remedy for learners of the PB series, MEIT arranges self-practice time (30 min) just before and after each lesson so that they can use laptops of MEIT during the self-practice time.

Objectives of the PB Series

Have learners acquire basic programming skills in JavaScript
Introduce basic concepts of programming to learners
Introduce website development (front-end and back-end) to learners
