Become a Certified Programmer without any hassle

This course is the first of a two-course sequence: Introduction to Computer Science and Programming Using Python, and Introduction to Computational Thinking and Data Science. Together, they are designed to help people with no prior exposure to computer science or programming learn to think computationally and write programs to tackle useful problems. Some of the people taking the two courses will use them as a stepping stone to more advanced computer science courses, but for many, it will be their first and last computer science courses. This run features lecture videos, lecture exercises, and problem set using Python 3.5. Even if you previously took the course with Python 2.7, you will be able to easily transition to Python 3.5 in future courses or enroll now to refresh your learning.

What you'll learn

A Notion of computation
The Python programming language
Some simple algorithms
Testing and debugging
An informal introduction to algorithmic complexity
Data structures

Programming for Everybody (Getting Started with Python)

This course is a "no prerequisite" introduction to Python Programming. You will learn about variables, conditional execution, repeated execution and how we use functions. The homework is done in a web browser so you can do all of the programming assignments on a phone or public computer.

About this course

This course aims to teach everyone the basics of programming computers using Python. We cover the basics of how one constructs a program from a series of simple instructions in Python. The course has no pre-requisites and avoids all but the simplest mathematics. Anyone with moderate computer experience should be able to master the materials in this course. This course will cover Chapters 1-5 of the textbook "Python for Everybody". Once a student completes this course, they will be ready to take more advanced programming courses. This course covers Python 3.

JavaScript Introduction

Learn JavaScript, a Web development programming language, to add interactivity to your Web pages, and become an expert Web developer.

JavaScript lets you add interactive features to your Web sites, including dynamically updated content, controlled multimedia, animated images, and much more.

The main objective of this course is to master JavaScript best practices by means of many interactive examples, some of which are demonstrated in live coding videos.

What you'll learn

How to add JavaScript (JS) code on your Web site/Web app, how to debug it
How to make interactive Web sites through the DOM API
How to change the CSS styles of HTML5 elements from JavaScript
How to deal with HTML5 forms
How to make basic graphics and animations using the HTML5 canvas
How to use the basic concepts of ES2016, the last iteration of the language: arrays, functions, loops, basic objects

C Programming: Getting Started

Start learning one of the most powerful and widely used programming languages: C.

About this course

In this course, you will learn the principles of C programming and start coding hands-on in a browser tool that will provide instant feedback on your code.

The C programming language is one of the most stable and popular programming languages in the world. It helps to power your smartphone, your car's navigation system, robots, drones, trains, and almost all electronic devices. C is used in any circumstances where speed and flexibility are important, such as in embedded systems or high-performance computing.

In this course, you will get started with C and learn how to write your first programs, how to make simple computations and print the results to the screen, how to store values in variables and how to repeat instructions using loops.

Beginners, even those without any programming experience, will be able to immediately start coding in C with the help of powerful yet simple coding tools right within the web browser. No need to install anything!

We are excited to introduce you to the world of coding and launch you along your path to becoming a skilled C programmer!

This is the first course in the C Programming with Linux Professional Certificate program. This series of seven short courses will establish your programming skills and unlock doors to careers in computer engineering.

What you'll learn

Define, distinguish and give examples of hardware/software, computer programs/algorithms
Explain the concept of a variable and declare, initialize and modify variables of data types int, double and char
Create and comment simple C-programs that may print text, special characters, and variables to the screen with controlled formatting
Create simple C-programs that utilize for-loops to repeat blocks of instructions
