Computer Programming
Audience
Anyone who wish to learn how to code, is welcome to read and follow this course.You may be student, freelancer, mentor, engineer, professor, or teacher. If you wish to learn how to code this course is for you. CSP course is beginner friendly. There is no age limit.
Benefits
This courses can help you learn the skills you need to become a peofessional coder fast. The course covers the essential syntax and semantic for various programming languages. Professional coders usually master 3 up to 5 programming languages. There are many benefits for learning several programming languages:
- Increased problem-solving skills: Learning multiple programming languages can help you develop your problem-solving skills. This is because each language has its own strengths and weaknesses, and by learning multiple languages, you can learn how to use the right tool for the job.
- Improved versatility: Learning multiple programming languages can make you a more versatile developer. This means that you will be able to work on a wider range of projects and be more adaptable to change.
- Enhanced career prospects: Learning multiple programming languages can make you more marketable to employers. This is because employers are always looking for developers who are proficient in multiple languages.
As ChatGPT and AI continues to develop, it will become increasingly capable of performing tasks that are currently done by human programmers. Learning multiple programming languages will help you avoid becoming obsolete. Elite programmers will still be needed to design and implement new software applications, and to solve complex problems that AI cannot.
Curriculum
Our course contains tutorials for 16 popular programming languages. We advice for beginners to start with one of these languages: Go, Julia, Dart or Python. More advanced developers, whatever other language they prefer. Selecting your first programming language is a difficult and important task. Read my external blog articles from below, to help you decide.
Programming Languages
CSP01: Go (Golang)
A statically typed, compiled language designed by Google for building efficient and reliable software. It's known for its concurrency features and strong performance, making it ideal for backend services, network programming, and cloud-native applications.
Recommended for: Beginners & Advanced
Open CourseCSP02: Julia
A high-level, high-performance, dynamic programming language for technical computing, with a syntax familiar to users of other technical computing environments. It excels in numerical analysis and computational science. Has good support for functional programming.
Recommended for: Beginners & Advanced
Open CourseCSP03: Dart
An object-oriented, class-based, garbage-collected language developed by Google. It's primarily used for building cross-platform mobile, web, and desktop applications with the Flutter framework, offering a fast development cycle and native performance.
Recommended for: Beginners & Advanced
Open CourseCSP04:Python
A versatile, high-level, multi-paradigm, interpreted programming language widely used for web development, data science, artificial intelligence, automation, and scripting. Its simple syntax and large ecosystem of libraries make it highly popular. A little bit slow.
Recommended for: Beginners & Advanced
Open CourseCSP05: Ruby
A dynamic, open source, object oriented programming language with a focus on simplicity and productivity. It has an elegant syntax that is natural to read and easy to write, commonly used for web development with the Ruby on Rails framework. A little bit slow.
Recommended for: Advanced Programmers
Open CourseCSP06: JavaScript
The foundational language for web browsers, enabling interactive and dynamic content on websites. With Node.js, it can also be used for server-side development, making it a full-stack language. JavaScript is single thread, event oriented and hosted language.
Recommended for: Beginners & Advanced
Open CourseCSP07: TypeScript
A superset of JavaScript that adds static typing to the language. It compiles to plain JavaScript and is widely used for building robust and scalable web applications, especially with frameworks like Angular, React, and Vue.js. Preffered by enterprise coders.
Recommended for: Advanced Web Development
Open CourseCSP08: Rust
A systems programming language focused on safety, speed, and concurrency. It is strongly typed, compiled language. It guarantees memory safety without a garbage collector and is widely used for operating systems, game engines, and web assembly.
Recommended for: Advanced Programming
Open CourseCSP09: Bash
A Unix shell and command language, commonly used for scripting in Linux and macOS environments. It's essential for automating tasks, managing files, and interacting with the operating system. Bash is a legacy scripting language. Most people avoid Bash for large projects and preffer Python.
Recommended for: Beginners & Advanced
Open CourseCSP10: C
A powerful, low-level programming language that provides maximum control over hardware. It's fundamental for operating systems, embedded systems, and performance-critical applications, though it requires careful memory management. Is strongly typed, structured compiled language.
Recommended for: Advanced Programming
Open CourseCSP11: C++
An extension of the C language, offering object-oriented programming features. It's widely used in game development, high-performance computing, and systems programming, balancing low-level control with high-level abstractions.
Recommended for: Advanced Programming
Open CourseCSP12: Java
A widely-used, class-based, pure object-oriented programming language designed for portability ("write once, run anywhere"). It's prevalent in enterprise-level applications, Android development, and large-scale systems. It runs in a virtual machine called JVM.
Recommended for: Advanced Programming
Open CourseCSP13: PL/SQL
Oracle's procedural extension to SQL, dialect of Ada language. It is used for developing stored procedures, functions, and triggers within Oracle databases. It allows for complex data manipulation and business logic directly within the database environment. Very fast language.
Recommended for: Advanced Databases
Open CourseCSP14: C#
A modern, object-oriented programming language developed by Microsoft, primarily used with the .NET framework. It's popular for building Windows desktop applications, web applications (ASP.NET), and game development (Unity).
Recommended for: Beginners & Advanced Games
Open CourseCSP15: Zig
A general-purpose programming language designed for robustness, optimality, and maintainability. It aims to be a better C, providing low-level control without hidden control flow or memory allocations, suitable for systems programming.
Recommended for: Low level Programming
Open CourseCSP16: Assembly
A low-level programming language that directly interacts with a computer's hardware. It's used for performance-critical tasks, embedded systems, and understanding how computers fundamentally operate, requiring deep technical knowledge.
Recommended for: Low level Programming
Open CourseProgramming Quiz
Second Chance
You can take this quiz only once. After first try, you can request support on Discord. An instructor can review your answers and reset your score so you can try this exam a second time. If you fail a second time we assume you have not follow the class properly so you should return to the class and study more before next try. You can also repeat the quiz after 30 days because we prune the results regularly.
