This video tutorial covers the three basic programming constructs: sequence, selection, and iteration. It explains sequence as executing instructions in order, selection using if statements for branching, and iteration through loops like for and while. The video also discusses nesting constructs and introduces the Edexcel programming language subset for Python exams.
