Challenging, Fast Pace Course

The Creator Program offers a fast-pace, challenging curriculum to give a head-start to the college level computer science courses.

Modern Technologies

From mobile applications development to web frameworks, First Code Creators get their hands on the latest technologies that are used by industry professionals in technology companies and startups.

Community Focus

Some say coding is like a super power. What better way to do with a gift than to share it? Our Creators apply coding and software development skills to solve problems for our community, through making apps or websites.

"I was not very sure whether Andrew would like it or not when he started the first term, as this was a program I asked him to enroll. Now, after the completion of the first term, Andrew decided to continue. He enjoyed the learning and the achievement he made on App Coding. This is a great place for kids to learn more intellectual things about computers, instead of only playing computer games. I was invited to join the demo day and was really impressed. First Code teachers inspired the interest, enthusiasm and confidence of the kids. Every kid did a great job!"

AC402

Python II: Object Oriented Programming

Course Info

Recommended Course to Join Core Roadmap

The Python II course is a deep-dive in python and focuses on a more advanced topic OOP (object-oriented programming), covering classes, objects, attributes, methods and inheritances. Object oriented programming is a mindset and methodology for organising code. Most applications are written in a OOP fashion rather than being purely functional.
