Object-Oriented Programming and GUI with Python (Coursera)

Offered by Arizona State University,
Object-Oriented Programming and GUI with Python (Coursera)

In this course we will implement object-oriented programming into Python programs; outline the importance of why and how we use object-oriented programming; and learn how to use inheritance when designing a program. We will also look at how to build a graphical user interface for a basic program.

Comparing Genes, Proteins, and Genomes (Bioinformatics III) (Coursera)

Sci: Biology & Life Sciences Health & Society

Once we have sequenced genomes in the previous course, we would like to compare them to determine how species have evolved and what makes them different. In the first half of the course, we will compare two short biological sequences, such as genes (i.e., short sequences of DNA) or proteins. We will encounter a powerful algorithmic tool called dynamic programming that will help us determine the number of mutations that have separated the two genes/proteins.

CS: Programming

Thanks to a growing number of software programs, it seems as if anyone can make a webpage. But what if you actually want to understand how the page was created? There are great textbooks and online resources for learning web design, but most of those resources require some background knowledge. This course is designed to help the novice who wants to gain confidence and knowledge. We will explore the theory (what actually happens when you click on a link on a webpage?), the practical (what do I need to know to make my own page?), and the overlooked (I have a page, what do I do now?).

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.
