Programming for Everyone : Programming Foundations (Coursera)

Offered by Coursera Project Network,
Programming for Everyone : Programming Foundations (Coursera)

This guided project is the first project in the "Programming for Everyone" series. It aims to teach programming foundations. Programming foundations are taught using the R Programming language. The foundations so built in this guided project can be used to build a fun Web App using the R Programming language.

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.

Parallel programming (Scala 2 version) (Coursera)

CS: Software Engineering

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.

CS: Theory CS: Programming

Programming is an increasingly important skill, whether you aspire to a career in software development, or in other fields. This course is the first in the specialization Introduction to Programming in C, but its lessons extend to any language you might want to learn. This is because programming is fundamentally about figuring out how to solve a class of problems and writing the algorithm, a clear set of steps to solve any problem in its class.
