Grundlagen des Programmierens (openHPI)

Offered by Hasso-Plattner-Institut,
Grundlagen des Programmierens (openHPI)

Dieser vierwöchige Kurs richtet sich an Schüler und andere Interessierte, die schon immer in die Welt des Programmierens heineinschnuppern wollten. Auf spielerische Art und Weise wird anhand der Programmiersprache Python eine Einführung in die faszinierende Welt des Programmierens und der Informationstechnologie gegeben.

So einfach war es noch nie die Grundlagen des Programmierens spielerisch zu erlernen. Um am Kurs teilzunehmen, braucht man keine besonderen Vorkenntnisse, nur einen Internetanschluss und einen Rechner. Auf dem Rechner muss keine spezielle Software installiert werden. Notwendig sind nur ein aktueller Browser und eine E-Mail-Adresse, mit der man sich auf openHPI anmelden kann.
Am Anfang des kostenlosen vierwöchigen Kurses stehen einfache Programmierübungen. Du lernst, eine virtuelle Schildkröte durch deine Programmierung zu steuern. In den darauffolgenden Wochen wirst du mit Schleifen und Funktionen vertraut gemacht, die dir ein grundlegendes Verständnis für die Struktur des Programmierens geben. Bei dem openHPI-Kurs wirst du Lernvideos schauen und im Quiz überprüfen, ob du alles verstanden hast. Direkt im Browser kannst du dann das gelernte Wissen anwenden und drauflos programmieren.
Wenn Du einmal nicht weiter weißt, kannst du im Forum oder den Lerngruppen Unterstützung von anderen Kursteilnehmern finden. Bei erfolgreicher Teilnahme erhältst du nach Kursende ein openHPI-Zeugnis.

Java Capstone Series Pt. 1 (OpenHPI)

CS: Programming

The Java Capstone Series is a completely new course format. Fewer videos and more hands-on activities. Together, we will develop small Java projects from scratch to transform knowledge into competencies. For the first iteration we will develop a little game, e.g. Pong or BreakOut. The idea is to work on these projects in teams, but if you prefer you can also work alone. This format is completely new for us as well. We see ourselves rather as co-learners and facilitators than as teachers.

This course will introduce the learner to text mining and text manipulation basics. The course begins with an understanding of how text is handled by python, the structure of text both to the machine and to humans, and an overview of the nltk framework for manipulating text. The second week focuses on common manipulation needs, including regular expressions (searching for text), cleaning text, and preparing text for use by machine learning processes. The third week will apply basic natural language processing methods to text, and demonstrate how text classification is accomplished. The final week will explore more advanced methods for detecting the topics in documents and grouping them by similarity (topic modelling).

CS: Design & Product

Why should a designer learn to code? As our world is increasingly impacted by the use of algorithms, designers must learn how to use and create design computing programs. Designers must go beyond the narrowly focused use of computers in the automation of simple drafting/modeling tasks and instead explore the extraordinary potential digitalization holds for design culture/practice.
