Computational Thinking with JavaScript 2: Model & Analyse (Coursera)

Offered by University of Glasgow,
Computational Thinking with JavaScript 2: Model & Analyse (Coursera)

This is the second course in a sequence of four courses that develops essential 21st century computational thinking (CT) skills using the popular JavaScript programming language. At the end of this second course you will: know a framework for CT to help you model the real world using abstract data structures; have developing CT skills so that you can perform common data analytics tasks; be able to read and write programs in JavaScript that involve processing, analysing and visualizing data, using a specialised library; and post your creations on the web to share your code with others.

This course is suitable for: learners who have taken the first course in this specialization 'Computational Thinking in JavaScript 1: Draw and Animate' or for those who have basic JavaScript skills and want to learn about simple data analytics.
Course 2 of 4 in the [Computational Thinking with JavaScript Specialization]().

What You Will Learn
Learners will discover how to process, analyse and visualize data using simple JavaScript libraries and data structures.

Syllabus

WEEK 1
Sequences of Data
We introduce the array data structure in JavaScript, which is used to represent an ordered sequence of data values.

WEEK 2
Objects Everywhere
We introduce JavaScript objects, which are named collections of values, used to model real-world entities.

WEEK 3
Nested Data Structures
Data structures can be embedded inside other data structures, to model more complex real-world entities.

WEEK 4
Integrative Coding Project
We integrate the various concepts we have introduced throughout this course, to build a data processing system to cluster data into similar groups

In Spring 2011, thousands of people in Germany were hospitalized with a deadly disease that started as food poisoning with bloody diarrhea and often led to kidney failure. It was the beginning of the deadliest outbreak in recent history, caused by a mysterious bacterial strain that we will refer to as E. coli X. Soon, German officials linked the outbreak to a restaurant in Lübeck, where nearly 20% of the patrons had developed bloody diarrhea in a single week. At this point, biologists knew that they were facing a previously unknown pathogen and that traditional methods would not suffice – computational biologists would be needed to assemble and analyze the genome of the newly emerged pathogen.
