The only prerequisite is a basic familiarity with computers, along with an eagerness to learn programming. You do not need any programming experience.

This course provides a fundamental understanding of the functions within any modern operating system. Most users of computers, like Windows 10 or Redhat V8, only deal with the GUI (graphical user interface). This course explores the functions used by those GUIs and provides an understanding of what is really happening. Used either stand-alone to gain a basic understanding of operating system concepts or with a companion textbook, Modern Operating Systems by Andrew S. Tanenbaum, while viewing the course or as a resource for later reference, this course provides a solid foundation that would enhance understanding for other courses, such as USB 2.0 Architecture Part 1, Oracle 12c Real Application Clusters Part 2: Performance Tuning, Administration and Backup, PCI Express (PCIe) Overview, Cloud Computing Foundation, and any programming course.  This course is a pre-requisite for the Linux V7 Essentials course.

In Java SE 8 Programming Part 1 you will begin programming in Java right from the start.  You will learn the critical parts of the Java language and program with them immediately to reinforce every concept that you learn.  This course covers key Java features including data types, variables, classes, methods, objects, inheritance, polymorphism, decision making, loops, strings, arrays and more. You will get a deep dive into Java programming so you can start programming in Java right away. From Java SE 8 Programming Part 1 you will go on to Java SE 8 Programming Part 2, which will enable you to create fully functional programs in Java and call yourself an Object-Oriented Programmer. This two-part series will also help prepare you to take Oracle’s Java SE 8 Programmer 1 Certification exam.

The Java 8 SE8 online video course is taught by Donna Martin a programming expert with over 25 years of experience programming with Linux systems programming, C, GTK+, X, TCL, FORTRAN, COBOL, Shell Scripting, Assembler, web programming and Java.  She currently works as an Analyst at a major hospital and teaches programming to students of all ages.  Donna makes concepts easy to learn and gives you the skills and knowledge you need to start programming in Java right away.

Did you know that learning to code will make you more skilled than 95% of the work force and that Java is one of the top programming languages in the world today?  Businesses of all sizes are powered by applications written in Java as are Android Apps.  If you have an idea for an innovative type of business software or an Android App then Java is the language for you.  For example, Angry Birds, Temple Run and Candy Crush Saga are all written in Java. Because Java is such a widely used language, companies like eBay, JP Morgan, Google and many, many, more all hire Java programmers.

This Python Programming Essentials online training course teaches you the basics of Python, a powerful programming language used to solve many different types of problems. In this course you will start by learning the basics of Python and by the end of the course you will be able to write Python programs to processes, text, work with complex data types, handle exceptions, and begin designing object-oriented programs.  

Python is a general purpose language that was released in the 1990’s.  It is designed to be highly readable and that makes it very easy for beginners. Even though the learning curve is shorter than many other languages, it allows you to do scientific computing, web development and 3d rendering.  Python had a major role in starting YouTube, Instagram and Reddit.  Because Python is useful in many different applications there are jobs available in just about every market. Companies like Google and YouTube have requirements for Python Programmers most all the time.

This course was designed using Python Version 2 and includes exercises using Python Version 2 and  Python Version 3.  Python version 3 is now the preferred version of Python.  All example Python programs provided in the class are shown in Version 2 and Version 3.  

Once you have completed Python Programming Essentials the next course in this series is Advanced Python Programming. The Advanced Python Programming course will enhance your Python knowledge by discussing complex data types, object oriented programming, GUI programs, regular expressions, threads, network programming, using SQL, and extending Python with C.

Module 13: Introduction to Perl Part 2 Online Training - Course Summary

You need to have some previous programming language experience and have completed Introduction to Perl Part 1.  If you do not have this experience, we recommend the following GogoTraining courses:

• Introduction to Programming for Non-Programmers
• Introduction to C Programming Part 1
• Introduction to C Programming Part 2
• Introduction to Perl Part 1

• It’s Open Source. That means it’s “free”. There’s also a commercial version available that provides support from the developers if you need it.
• It’s simple. A basic FreeRTOS system is on the order of five or six C source files. You can actually wrap your mind around it. By contrast, a minimal Linux or Android build is on the order of a thousand source files. Wrap your mind around that dude!
• As a consequence of being simple, it’s also small. A reasonable system will fit in 6 KB of memory.
• Despite being simple, it’s comprehensive. It provides the facilities required to address the basic real-time programming problems.
• The source code is high quality. It’s readable! There are lots of useful comments and the symbol names are expressive, that is they convey what the symbol actually does. In contrast to much of Linux code, which I characterize as write-only. Someone obviously wrote it, but no one else can read it because there are no comments.

In this class you will perform hands-on lab exercises that teach you how to design reliable embedded devices for the Internet of Things and you will gain an understanding of how multi-tasking operating systems lead to more robust, scalable, and maintainable designs.

Experience and fluency with the C programming language is expected or taking these courses below:

• Introduction to C Programming Part 1
• Introduction to C Programming Part 2

Some familiarity with microcontroller hardware is useful.
