Syllabus

WEEK 1
Apresentação e Introdução ao Curso
Sejam bem vindos! Esta é a nossa primeira semana de curso. Daremos uma noção do que será o curso e apresentaremos uma visão geral sobre a área da computação e a linguagem Python.

WEEK 2
Introdução ao Python
Na Semana 2, teremos uma introdução à linguagem de programação Python. Iremos aprender o que são variáveis, os tipos de dados existentes e para que serve o comando input e print. Faremos também nosso primeiro programa. Mãos à obra ;-)

WEEK 3
Condicionais - if...else
Nesta semana estudaremos os desvios condicionais que você poderá implementar em seus programas, usando o comando "if..else". Além disso, estudaremos variáveis e expressões booleanas. Bom trabalho!

WEEK 4
Repetição - while
Muitas novidades para semana 4. Começaremos vendo como é feito um programa quando temos repetição de código. Trabalharemos com indicadores de passagem e aprenderemos a utilizar o depurador (Debbuger) que faz o acompanhamento da execução do programa, auxiliando o entendimento e a detecção de possíveis erros. Mãos à obra ;-)

WEEK 5
Funções
Semana 5, é hora de aprendermos a fazer e utilizar funções. Vamos começar... ;-)

WEEK 6
Depuração e refatoração
Nesta semana vamos pensar como melhorar programas através de refatoração e da utilização do depurador para acompanhar o funcionamento de funções. A tarefa desta semana é maior que o que vimos até agora: vamos desenvolver um programa completo!

WEEK 7
Repetições Encaixadas
Existem situações em que precisamos trabalhar com repetições de repetições. Vamos ver como isso funciona?

WEEK 8
Listas
Quando precisamos trabalhar com um conjunto de dados, utilizamos listas para implementar isso em Python. Nessa semana veremos como as listas funcionam, o comando "for", e muito mais. Mãos à obra ;-)

WEEK 9
Mais sobre listas
Nossa introdução termina com uma breve discussão sobre como os objetos são armazenados na memória do computador e mais um programa completo.

The Arduino Platform and C Programming (Coursera)

The Arduino is an open-source computer hardware/software platform for building digital devices and interactive objects that can sense and control the physical world around them. In this class you will learn how the Arduino platform works in terms of the physical board and libraries and the IDE (integrated development environment). You will also learn about shields, which are smaller boards that plug into the main Arduino board to perform other functions such as sensing light, heat, GPS tracking, or providing a user interface display. The course will also cover programming the Arduino using C code and accessing the pins on the board via the software to control external devices.

An introduction to the Objective-C programming language. This will prepare you for more extensive iOS app development and build a foundation for advanced iOS development topics. Objective-C programming requires a Mac laptop or desktop computer. An iOS device is optional if the learner is willing to working exclusively with the simulator. Some learners have been able to work with an OS X virtual machine on Windows, but explaining how to do that is beyond the scope of this course.

Interactivity with JavaScript (Coursera)

If you want to take your website to the next level, the ability to incorporate interactivity is a must. But adding some of these types of capabilities requires a stronger programming language than HTML5 or CSS3, and JavaScript can provide just what you need. With just a basic understanding of the language, you can create a page that will react to common events such as page loads, mouse clicks & movements, and even keyboard input.

Case Study - Predicting Housing Prices. In our first case study, predicting house prices, you will create models that predict a continuous value (price) from input features (square footage, number of bedrooms and bathrooms,...). This is just one of the many places where regression can be applied. Other applications range from predicting health outcomes in medicine, stock prices in finance, and power usage in high-performance computing, to analyzing which regulators are important for gene expression.

Interfacing with the Arduino (Coursera)

Arduino senses the environment by receiving inputs from add-on devices such as sensors, and can control the world around it by adjusting lights, motors, and other actuators. In this class you will learn how and when to use the different types of sensors and how to connect them to the Arduino. Since the external world uses continuous or analog signals and the hardware is digital you will learn how these signals are converted back-and-forth and how this must be considered as you program your device. You'll also learn about the use of Arduino-specific shields and the shields software libraries to interface with the real world.

Data Structures and Performance (Coursera)

How do Java programs deal with vast quantities of data? Many of the data structures and algorithms that work with introductory toy examples break when applications process real, large data sets. Efficiency is critical, but how do we achieve it, and how do we even measure it? This is an intermediate Java course. We recommend this course to learners who have previous experience in software development or a background in computer science, and in particular, we recommend that you have taken the first course in this specialization (which also requires some previous experience with Java).
