Difficult to keep up with the technical terms. Would have been better if diagrams/graphics were used to convey the concepts
A good overview of the breadth of software languages and the business of creating programs.
A good introduction to the programming business, with comparisons of various programming languages to help you choose which one to use.
Instructor clearly communicates concepts of programming in general and makes it easier to understand everything and 'why'. Excellent course, would recommend to anyone who has a reason / desire to better understand computers, programming languages, and programmer communication.
This course provided insights into the programming marketplace which I can share with my students as they prepare for graduation. Very interesting history, especially the origins of Object-Oriented Programming, SmallTalk, etc.
Course covers a broad spectrum of topics which is good but at the same time, this might result overwhelming for those of us who are initiating on this subject.
So far it explain clearly what and how much you should know about programming.
