Not the OP, but I know of at least one University that runs "Programming for scientists" courses at low or no cost.

  These courses are usually short introductions into python or Java. Most scientists simply don't have time in their curriculum for a full software engineering course.

    I didn't claim they were good. My father is doing a Python one right now and I'm not very impressed. He is retired from the University but is still eligible to take the course.

  Oh we teach programming alright, but software development is another pair of shoes entirely. Unfortunately, that's where the problem lies...

    That's the whole problem with the "Learn to code" movement, tbh. Plus Python and Java are terrible languages when it comes to those broader swdev/softeng concerns.

      What is better than Java?
