4.1 Reading your future
Coding your future is a guidebook and course is aimed at ALL students in higher education. While the guide supports undergraduate teaching at the University of Manchester, it doesn’t actually matter:
- where in the world you are studying
- what stage of your degree you are at, from first year through to final year
- what level you are studying at, foundation, undergraduate or postgraduate
- what institution you are studying at, this book is University and institution agnostic
- what subject you are studying, as long as you are computationally curious
Coding your Future has something for any student of computing, both those inside and outside of Computer Science departments. 👨🏿💻👨💻👩🏽💻👩💻👩🏿💻
