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

CS: Software Engineering CS: Theory

This two-part course introduces the basic mathematical and programming principles that underlie much of Computer Science. Understanding these principles is crucial to the process of creating efficient and well-structured solutions for computational problems. To get hands-on experience working with these concepts, we will use the Python programming language. The main focus of the class will be weekly mini-projects that build upon the mathematical and programming principles that are taught in the class.

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.

This course is the third course in the specialization exploring both computational thinking and beginning C programming. Rather than trying to define computational thinking, we’ll just say it’s a problem-solving process that includes lots of different components. Most people have a better understanding of what beginning C programming means!
