This course is not about becoming a programmer and so it does not go into computer science fundamentals or even into much depth on things like clean coding practices. The primary purpose of this course is to make it so that you have an additional tool in your testing tool belt that you can use and so it will focus heavily on enabling you to do things that will be immediately helpful to you as a tester.
This course is also not a test automation course in the sense of automating regression tests. It is about helping you think about the thousands of other ways you can use a dash of automation to make your life easier.
