This specialization is intended for all programming enthusiasts, as well as beginners, computer and other scientists, and artificial intelligence enthusiasts seeking to develop their programming skills in the classical languages of C and its more modern successor Go. Through the four courses—two in C, and two in Go—you will cover the basics of programming in C and move on to the more advanced Go semantics and syntax, which will prepare you to apply these skills to higher-level problems using AI algorithms and Monte Carlo simulations.
Applied Learning Project
Learners in this specialization will start coding right from the start. Every module presents ample opportunities for writing programs and finding errors in the learners’ own and others’ code. Building on their knowledge, learners will demonstrate their understanding of coding in a practice-intensive final assessment.
