Syllabus

The languages you speak (I mean program in) shape your design. If you only know one language, your ability to design software is largely constrained by it. It's not the language syntax that matters the most. Each language has different idioms. These idioms influence how you write code and design software in them. There are hundreds of languages. However, these languages can be broadly classified based on a few characteristics. In this course we will deep dive into programming language styles. You will learn essential part of different languages, work on programming assignments in different languages to get a taste of imperative programming and functional programming styles. Also, you will learn the pros and cons of static typing, vs dynamic typing and strong typing vs. weak typing. This course is programming intensive.
