Scratch topics
12 short topics in Programming Fundamentals. Each one is a single focused exercise with a clear piece of evidence at the end.
12 topics, one exercise each.
Work through them in order, or jump to the one you need.
These are draft topic outlines (draft; instructor review pending). Full lessons follow after review; ask Ajay if you need a topic sooner.
