Through this course, you will learn how to apply these concepts in your Java programs, translate them into code and make the most of the tools provided by the language.

What you'll learn

  • Fundamental concepts of object-oriented programming.
  • How to apply the tools provided by object-oriented languages.

Syllabus

The fundamental concepts of OOP
In this first week, we will delve into the fundamental concepts of object-oriented programming. It's important to note that these concepts will recur in the following weeks, so take that into account.

Relationships between objects
This week we will begin to define the responsibilities of classes, how they affect the relationships between objects, and the strength of the relationships. We will also learn how to create objects in different ways and how they can react depending on the stimulus given to them.

Inheritance
In this third week, we will dive into one of the most important topics in OOP: inheritance. We will analyze its usefulness, its implications, and its limitations.

Inheritance and polimorfism
This week we will explore some advanced concepts, such as abstract classes and polymorphism. We will delve into their practical use in code and go through some scenarios where they can be beneficial. Finally, we will have a brief introduction to advanced object-oriented design.

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.

Data Science

Unix forms a foundation that is often very helpful for accomplishing other goals you might have for you and your computer, whether that goal is running a business, writing a book, curing disease, or creating the next great app. The means to these goals are sometimes carried out by writing software. Software can’t be mined out of the ground, nor can software seeds be planted in spring to harvest by autumn. Software isn’t produced in factories on an assembly line. Software is a hand-made, often bespoke good. If a software developer is an artisan, then Unix is their workbench.

CS: Software Engineering

Reactive programming is a set of techniques for implementing scalable, resilient and responsive systems as per the Reactive Manifesto. Such systems are based on asynchronous message-passing, and their basic building-blocks are event handlers. This course teaches how to implement reactive systems in Scala and Akka by using high-level abstractions, such as actors, asynchronous computations, and reactive streams.
