What a program is
Instructions a computer follows in order, and how to run your first one.
Subjects · Coding for beginners
Coding for beginners, built around you.
Name the language and what you want to build. Tessorio asks a few questions, finds out what you already know, and plans a coding course that starts there, with every idea shown on screen and checked before you move on.
What it covers
What a beginner course usually covers
Values and variables
Numbers, text and true-or-false, and giving them names you can reuse.
Decisions and loops
Doing something only when a condition holds, and repeating work without repeating yourself.
Functions
Packaging steps into a named piece you can call again with different inputs.
Lists and collections
Keeping many values together, and going through them one by one.
Reading errors
What an error message is telling you, and how to find the line that's wrong.
A small project
Putting it together into something you wanted to build in the first place.
Your course is planned around the language and the goal you name, so its units will differ. This is the usual path from zero.
How the course works
Learned, not just watched
It starts from what you know
Before it plans, Tessorio asks what you want and what you already know, and a short check skips what you have. The course starts where you're shaky.
Each idea is shown, then checked
Lessons are narrated, and the picture draws itself as each part is named. After each idea the lesson stops and asks you a question.
What you miss comes back
A wrong answer gets an explanation of why. Topics you keep missing become catch-up lessons.
A tutor beside every lesson
Pause and ask about what's on screen. A big question can become a lesson of its own.
Which plan
Questions
Asked often
Which language should I start with?
Tell Tessorio what you want to build, like websites, data work or games, and it asks follow-up questions before it plans. If you already know the language you want, just name it.
I've tried before and got lost. Is this different?
The course starts from what you actually know, one idea per scene, and stops to check each idea before moving on. What you miss comes back as a catch-up lesson.
Can I ask about my own code?
Yes. The tutor beside every lesson sees what's on screen, so you can ask about the example you're looking at.
Can I learn from my own course notes?
Yes. Course Studio turns notes, PDFs or a syllabus into a course, so a class you're taking can become lessons.
What does it cost?
The free courses in the Tessorio Library need no account and cost nothing. Plans are Self-learning $19.99 a month, Family $29.99, Teacher $19.99 and Course Creator $79. Paying yearly costs ten times the monthly price, so two months are free. Each plan includes the whole Library and a set number of new lesson minutes a month; watching and rewatching never use them.
