Programming in C (Coursera)

Programming in C (Coursera)

C remains one of the most popular languages thanks to its portability and efficiency, and laying the groundwork for many programming languages like C++, Java, JavaScript, and Python. In this course, you’ll dive deeper into the syntax of C, learning the functions of the language and how to properly apply them within an algorithm. Identify types, operators, and expressions within C to build recursive functions and examine the role of the C preprocessor in achieving software portability.

Programming Languages, Part B (Coursera)

This course is an introduction to the basic concepts of programming languages, with a strong emphasis on functional programming. The course uses the languages ML, Racket, and Ruby as vehicles for teaching the concepts, but the real intent is to teach enough about how any language “fits together” to make you more effective programming in any language -- and in learning new ones. This course is neither particularly theoretical nor just about programming specifics -- it will give you a framework for understanding how to use language constructs effectively and how to design correct and elegant programs.

Parallel programming (Scala 2 version) (Coursera)

With every smartphone and computer now boasting multiple processors, the use of functional ideas to facilitate parallel programming is becoming increasingly widespread. In this course, you'll learn the fundamentals of parallel programming, from task parallelism to data parallelism. In particular, you'll see how many familiar ideas from functional programming map perfectly to to the data parallel paradigm. We'll start the nuts and bolts how to effectively parallelize familiar collections operations, and we'll build up to parallel collections, a production-ready data parallel collections library available in the Scala standard library.
