Computers and Programming has touched all the disciplines ranging from science to economics. A good aerospace engineer must and should take the advantages of computer to solve problems like understanding complex flow phenomenon, developing Optimized designs etc.

​

         I would recommend the following material for Scientific/Numerical Computing. First learn FORTRAN or C++(Object oriented style). Once your are reasonably confident about writing programs, you can learn Python. 

Always test your program in python and use its powerful visualization  tools to get your code functionally correct and then write the code in FORTRAN/C++ for performance.

Videos of Programming Lectures:
