Harvard University launches free online course on Computer Science
The free course can be completed in 12 weeks of time. The participating candidates have to invest 6 to 18 hours per week. The topics covered in the program include abstraction, algorithms, data structures, encapsulation, resource management, security, software engineering, and web development.
Programming language skills include C, Python, SQL, and JavaScript plus CSS and HTML. Problem sets inspired by real-world domains of biology, cryptography, finance, forensics, and gaming. The students that score on 9 problem set and a final project will be eligible for a certificate. The verified certificate can be obtained by paying a fee of $199.
What you will learn:
- A broad and robust understanding of computer science and programming
- How to think algorithmically and solve programming problems efficiently
- Concepts like abstraction, algorithms, data structures, encapsulation, resource management, security, software engineering, and web development
- Familiarity in a number of languages, including C, Python, SQL, and JavaScript plus CSS and HTML
- How to engage with a vibrant community of like-minded learners from all levels of experience
- How to develop and present a final programming project to your peers
The online course will be instructed by David J Malan, a computer science professor from Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences along with Dough Lloyd, and Brian Yu.
