# Welcome to Blocks Boot Camp!

Learning the fundamentals of programming can be one of the biggest hurdles to conquer before feeling ready to teach programming to a class. We want students to practice good habits as they learn so we need to understand them first ourselves.

This Professional Development section focuses on exploring key concepts of programming in quick bites that will carry between Blocks, Java, and beyond.&#x20;

We'll start by discussing pseudocode, a technique used to help students think through how a program functions, then move into looking at Logic, Variables, and Loops!
