Mexican magnate Carlos Slim, through his Foundation, has launched new free programming courses aimed at individuals of any level of experience.
Programming is an increasingly in-demand skill in the world of work. Programmers are responsible for creating and maintaining the software we use on our computers, smartphones, and other electronic devices.
Learning to program offers a range of benefits, including:
- Improved problem-solving and critical thinking skills.
- Development of communication and collaboration skills.
- Access to new job and entrepreneurial opportunities.
This is why the initiative by the Carlos Slim Foundation is a unique opportunity for individuals of any level of experience to learn this valuable skill.
What do the courses offer?
The courses—Logic of Programming, Introduction to Programming, Front-end Developer, and Back-end Developer—are designed to provide participants with the skills and knowledge necessary to develop high-level web applications and software.
In the Logic of Programming and Introduction to Programming courses, the foundations are provided so that anyone, with or without computer knowledge, can delve into the world of programming.
The Front-end Developer course is aimed at individuals who want to learn how to design, develop, and maintain web user interfaces.
The Back-end Developer course is aimed at individuals who want to learn how to develop the internal components of web applications and software.
How to access the courses?
Both courses are free and available online through the Carlos Slim Foundation’s Capacítate para el empleo platform.
To enroll in the courses, interested individuals should visit the Capacítate para el Empleo website and create an account. Once registered, they can select the courses they wish to enroll in.
