Syllabus

WEEK 1
Introduction to Test-Driven Development
In this module, we're going to take an introductory look at TDD and define some terms.

WEEK 2
Core Concepts
Get into the rhythm of TDD by practicing the TDD Mantra and following the TDD workflow's phases. See a day in the life of a test-driven developer and put these into practice.

WEEK 3
Existing Types of Testing and the Powerful Assert Statement
In this module, we will review all the existing kind, levels and type of testing. We'll explore where TDD borrows from these and where TDD fits. We'll also introduce the assert statement.

WEEK 4
Hands on Projects for Beginners
This is a series of small python projects that already have requirements that are ready to turn into tests. Sample tests and Sample implementations are also included if you need a little help getting started.

Approximation Algorithms Part I (Coursera)

How efficiently can you pack objects into a minimum number of boxes? How well can you cluster nodes so as to cheaply separate a network into components around a few centers? These are examples of NP-hard combinatorial optimization problems. It is most likely impossible to solve such problems efficiently, so our aim is to give an approximate solution that can be computed in polynomial time and that at the same time has provable guarantees on its cost relative to the optimum.
