This course is part of the Specialization program titled <a href="https://www.classcentral.com/course/practical-data-science-matlab-18864">Practical Data Science with MATLAB</a> which consists of four courses on this subject. The whole Specialization will take around five months to complete. The theme of the Specialization is well designed to guide the attendees through the standard procedures to analyze data in several forms.</p> <h2>Why I Took this Course</h2> <figure id="attachment_85361" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-85361" style="width: 1024px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-85361" src="https://www.classcentral.com/report/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Exploratory-Data-Analysis-with-MATLAB-4th-module-statistical-analysis.png" alt="" width="1024" height="512" srcset="https://www.classcentral.com/report/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Exploratory-Data-Analysis-with-MATLAB-4th-module-statistical-analysis.png 1024w, https://www.classcentral.com/report/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Exploratory-Data-Analysis-with-MATLAB-4th-module-statistical-analysis-300x150.png 300w, https://www.classcentral.com/report/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Exploratory-Data-Analysis-with-MATLAB-4th-module-statistical-analysis-768x384.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-85361" class="wp-caption-text">From module 4, Statistical Analysis.</figcaption></figure> <p>We live in an era where large amounts of data are generated every day. This data comes from several sources including traffic, agriculture, internet of things, interconnected electrical grids, transport and many other areas. The growing amount of data poses a challenge to humans as our brains are not evolved to compute large chunks of increasingly complex data in a short time. On the other hand, we need a timely and accurate analysis of this data to decide on critical situations and financially important matters. As an electrical engineer, I see how much data is generated from the consumers each hour and how difficult it is for humans to make sense of it on our own. MATLAB, as a powerful computational engine has the capability to help us analyse this data and furthermore, use artificial intelligence to train models in this domain. My specific goal was to develop my skills in data science and use it to help in the analysis of electrical power networks planning. We need the following tasks to be successfully done:</p> <ol> <li> Predict the behaviour of the consumers in short- and long-term intervals,</li> <li> Predict weather patterns to plan renewable energy generation,</li> <li> Plan the generation to balance the supply and demand in a cost-efficient manner,</li> <li> Analyse the consumers data to identify the network’s bottlenecks, congestion times and points, etc.</li> </ol> <h2>History</h2> <p>I found the course in the Coursera platform and further searched for similar ones and the rest of the courses in the specialization in Class Central website. After taking a few sessions, the content and courses proved to be unique in many ways and therefore I continued to pursue it.</p> <h2>Instructor</h2> <figure id="attachment_85362" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-85362" style="width: 1024px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" class="wp-image-85362 size-full" src="https://www.classcentral.com/report/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Exploratory-Data-Analysis-with-MATLAB-Instructors.png" alt="" width="1024" height="512" srcset="https://www.classcentral.com/report/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Exploratory-Data-Analysis-with-MATLAB-Instructors.png 1024w, https://www.classcentral.com/report/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Exploratory-Data-Analysis-with-MATLAB-Instructors-300x150.png 300w, https://www.classcentral.com/report/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Exploratory-Data-Analysis-with-MATLAB-Instructors-768x384.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-85362" class="wp-caption-text">Course instructors, from left to right: Adam Filion, Heather Gorr, Brandon Armstrong, and Erin Byrne.</figcaption></figure> <p>I have seen the instructors in the course in multiple other online events and courses offered by <a href="https://www.classcentral.com/institution/mathworks">MathWorks</a> and they have very deep knowledge and experience of the content they present. I see both theoretical and practical knowledge and organization in the content they are offering which makes the course an enjoyable experience.</p> <h2>My Skills</h2> <p>I have a master’s degree in renewable energy engineering and my bachelor is in electrical engineering. I have been a user of MATLAB both in the academy and my job. I currently work as a specialist engineer and use MATLAB as one of our everyday tools for solving different problems including data analysis. I had also taken other data science courses already like the one offered via Edx by MathWorks.</p> <h2>How to be Successful</h2> <p>As per my experience from the course, it is an advantage if the reader has some theoretical background in data science, mathematics and/or engineering. It is also very good if you start applying the knowledge when you learn the material in the course. However, having MATLAB is essential as the online version will not be available after the course is finished.</p> <p><i>Editor’s note: Learners are provided access to MATLAB for all the courses.</i></p> <h2>Certificate</h2> <p>The course offers a certificate like other MOOCs in Coursera for a fee. You can choose to take the course only or the entire specialization. There are other options in Coursera like the Coursera Plus membership where you can have annual access to thousands of courses and get a certificate for them.</p> <h2>The Course</h2> <p>This course is on Class Central’s <a href="https://www.classcentral.com/collection/top-free-online-courses">Best Free Online Courses of All Time</a> list. It’s rich in content and well organized in five weeks. The course covers all the basics of a standard data science task in it. It describes the workflow of data science, how to import the data, how to filter and sort it, how to do the necessary analysis and calculations on the data and finally how to present it to your audience. Participants can also discuss the topics in several forums and ask questions.</p> <h2>Grading</h2> <p>There are several graded and ungraded quizzes and tests. A lot of practice tests are also provided through the MathWorks website for helping in this course. It is required to pass the graded tests in order to be considered for a certificate.</p> <h2>Time Commitment</h2> <p>It is suggested in the course to dedicate 4 hours per week, however, if you want to deeply understand the topics, you need more time to research the topics further and more importantly practice them on your own.</p> <h2>Conclusion</h2> <p>I successfully went through the contents of the course and found it very useful. It actually helped me a lot in understanding the power of MATLAB in data science. I can now use the learned topics in my own work. It is one of the best courses I have taken online.</p> <p><em>Editor’s note: Here is an in-depth review for the third course in the specialization, <a href="https://www.classcentral.com/report/review-predictive-modeling-matlab/">Course Review: Predictive Modeling and Machine Learning with MATLAB by MathWorks</a> written by Magesh John, with a comment from one of the instructors, Brandon Armstrong.</em></p> <p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.classcentral.com/report/review-exploratory-data-analysis-matlab/">Learn How To Think Like A Data Scientist: A Review of Exploratory Data Analysis with MATLAB</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.classcentral.com/report">The Report by Class Central</a>.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://www.classcentral.com/report/review-exploratory-data-analysis-matlab/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Empowering Future Educators: A Review of ‘Learning to Teach – Mentoring and Tutoring Student Teachers’</title> <link>https://www.classcentral.com/report/review-learning-to-teach/</link> <comments>https://www.classcentral.com/report/review-learning-to-teach/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Sanja Markovic]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Wed, 15 Feb 2023 18:39:14 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Reviews]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.classcentral.com/report/?p=85341</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>Learn how to effectively support beginner teachers in this free course by The Open University.</p> <p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.classcentral.com/report/review-learning-to-teach/">Empowering Future Educators: A Review of ‘Learning to Teach – Mentoring and Tutoring Student Teachers’</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.classcentral.com/report">The Report by Class Central</a>.</p> ]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone wp-image-85342 size-full" src="https://www.classcentral.com/report/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Learning-to-teach_-mentoring-and-tutoring-student-teachers.png" alt="" width="1024" height="512" srcset="https://www.classcentral.com/report/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Learning-to-teach_-mentoring-and-tutoring-student-teachers.png 1024w, https://www.classcentral.com/report/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Learning-to-teach_-mentoring-and-tutoring-student-teachers-300x150.png 300w, https://www.classcentral.com/report/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Learning-to-teach_-mentoring-and-tutoring-student-teachers-768x384.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></p> <p>I found the Class Central online learning catalog quite by accident while researching online free school mentoring training. I needed this because of my professional advancement (I am a classroom teacher). The course name <a href="https://www.classcentral.com/course/openlearn-education-development-learning-teach-me-95579">Learning to teach: mentoring and tutoring student teachers</a> caught my attention and that’s how I started the training. The course is created by <a href="https://www.classcentral.com/university/tou">The Open University</a> and available for free on the <a href="https://www.classcentral.com/provider/openlearn">OpenLearn</a> platform.</p> <h2>The course</h2> <figure id="attachment_85344" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-85344" style="width: 1024px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-85344" src="https://www.classcentral.com/report/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Learning-to-teach_-mentoring-and-tutoring-student-teachers-The-difference.png" alt="" width="1024" height="512" srcset="https://www.classcentral.com/report/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Learning-to-teach_-mentoring-and-tutoring-student-teachers-The-difference.png 1024w, https://www.classcentral.com/report/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Learning-to-teach_-mentoring-and-tutoring-student-teachers-The-difference-300x150.png 300w, https://www.classcentral.com/report/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Learning-to-teach_-mentoring-and-tutoring-student-teachers-The-difference-768x384.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-85344" class="wp-caption-text">From “What is the difference?” lesson 1.</figcaption></figure> <p>The training is very well designed. It is very clear and I found it so interesting that I went through it “almost in one breath”. It is exactly what I needed and what I was looking for. I learned a lot about mentoring. The term “mentor” means a person who works daily with a teacher at the beginning of their career, supporting their development during their tenure. I remembered the teacher who supported me when I started working at the school.</p> <p>At this training, guidelines were clearly given on what is important to follow in the role of a mentor, specific instructions and examples of what to pay attention to, and that the role of a mentor includes giving selfless advice as well as observing the emotions of your student.</p> <p>I also learned that the role of a “tutor” can include providing academic support, if a student is studying for an academic qualification, and visiting the school to observe teaching. There are clear guidelines for this role as well.</p> <h2>Conclusion</h2> <figure id="attachment_85343" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-85343" style="width: 1024px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-85343" src="https://www.classcentral.com/report/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Learning-to-teach_-mentoring-and-tutoring-student-teachers-mentor-role.png" alt="" width="1024" height="512" srcset="https://www.classcentral.com/report/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Learning-to-teach_-mentoring-and-tutoring-student-teachers-mentor-role.png 1024w, https://www.classcentral.com/report/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Learning-to-teach_-mentoring-and-tutoring-student-teachers-mentor-role-300x150.png 300w, https://www.classcentral.com/report/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Learning-to-teach_-mentoring-and-tutoring-student-teachers-mentor-role-768x384.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-85343" class="wp-caption-text">From “Mentor role” lesson 2.</figcaption></figure> <p>My opinion is this training <a href="https://www.classcentral.com/course/openlearn-education-development-learning-teach-me-95579">Learning to teach: mentoring and tutoring student teachers</a> is great, clear, does not require a lot of time, and provides a lot of information. I will wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone who is engaged in the work of a teacher.</p> <p>This course will help me become a better mentor to my students, as well as a better tutor to students.

Just two weeks ago, a Senior Director of Recruiting at Udemy bragged about this and thanked Udemy for “allowing us to feel safe in a very uncertain time”.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Unfortunately for them, a couple of days ago, Udemy let go 10% of their employees. They officially disclosed this during their </span><a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2023/02/14/2608128/0/en/Udemy-Reports-Fourth-Quarter-and-Full-Year-2022-Results.html"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Q4 2022 earnings report</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, which was published yesterday.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">(2023 also saw </span><a href="https://www.classcentral.com/report/domestika-layoffs/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Domestika</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and </span><a href="https://www.classcentral.com/report/thinkific-layoffs/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Thinkific</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> announce new rounds of layoffs.)</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The same Udemy Director mentioned that 800 “Udemates” were hired in 2022. Last year, when I </span><a href="https://www.classcentral.com/report/udemy-annual-report-2021-10k/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">analyzed Udemy’s 2021 Annual Report</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, I learned that Udemy had 1,238 full-time employees at the end of 2021. So back-of-the-envelope calculations suggest that about 200 Udemy employees have been laid off.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">According to Udemy CEO and Chairman Greggo Coccari, who’s set to </span><a href="https://www.classcentral.com/report/udemy-new-ceo/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">retire at the end of this month</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, these layoffs were prompted by a “challenging macro environment”. Like other </span><a href="https://about.udemy.com/udemy-news/a-message-from-gregg-coccari-ceo-of-udemy/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">layoff messages</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, it was very generic. The goal is to cut costs and position Udemy for long-term sustainable growth.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The layoffs will result in adjusted severance costs of $8–9 million in Q1 2023 but are expected to save Udemy approximately $30–32 million annually. At the end of 2022, Udemy had $465 million of unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities and expects to be profitable in the second half of 2023.</span></p> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Udemy’s 2022 Revenues</span></h2> <div class="table"> <table> <caption style="caption-side: bottom;">Udemy Segment Revenue Over the Years</caption> <thead> <tr> <td></td> <td><b>2019</b></td> <td><b>2020</b></td> <td><b>2021</b></td> <td><b>2022</b></td> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td><b>Total</b></td> <td><span style="font-weight: 400;">$276.3m</span></td> <td><span style="font-weight: 400;">$429.9m</span></td> <td><span style="font-weight: 400;">$515.7m</span></td> <td><span style="font-weight: 400;">$629.1m</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td><b>B2C</b></td> <td><span style="font-weight: 400;">$225.5m</span></td> <td><span style="font-weight: 400;">$326.4m</span></td> <td><span style="font-weight: 400;">$328.7m</span></td> <td><span style="font-weight: 400;">$315.1m</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td><b>B2B</b></td> <td><span style="font-weight: 400;">$50.9m</span></td> <td><span style="font-weight: 400;">$103.4m</span></td> <td><span style="font-weight: 400;">$187.0m</span></td> <td><span style="font-weight: 400;">$314.0m</span></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In 2022, Udemy’s revenue grew by 22% to $629.1 million.

The commercial version of the software is known as DaVinci Resolve Studio, while its free version (with reduced functionality) is simply called DaVinci Resolve.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With DaVinci Resolve, you get DaVinci’s Emmy award winning image technology with 32‑bit float processing, patented YRGB color science, a wide gamut color space for HDR workflows. and Fairlight audio processing for the best in class sound.</span></p> <h3>Why are DaVinci Resolve Skills Important?</h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">DaVinci Resolve is a popular choice for creating visual effects and motion graphics, as well as post-production workflows. As such, professionals who have skills in this software are in high demand in the industry.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">DaVinci Resolve is considered one of the </span><a href="https://crumplepop.com/davinci-resolve-vs-premiere-pro/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">leading video editing software</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> in a market that’s projected to reach a value of </span><a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/en/news-release/2022/09/14/2516320/0/en/Video-Editing-Software-Market-Size-is-projected-to-reach-USD-3-24-Billion-by-2030-growing-at-a-CAGR-of-5-6-Straits-Research.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">USD 3.24 Billion by 2030</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. It’s a popular choice among professional editors and colorists in the film, television, and video production industry.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The job market for professionals with skills in DaVinci Resolve is generally strong, as the software is widely used in the film and television industry, you can easily find job openings on </span><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/davinci-resolve-jobs/?currentJobId=3306260142" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">LinkedIn</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, </span><a href="https://www.indeed.com/jobs?q=Full+Time+Davinci+Resolve+Editor&from=mobRdr&utm_source=%2Fm%2F&utm_medium=redir&utm_campaign=dt&vjk=363afcf58c523bb8" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Indeed</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, and </span><a href="https://www.upwork.com/freelance-jobs/da-vinci-resolve/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Upwork</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> with an average salary of USD 54,946 in US, according to </span><a href="https://www.glassdoor.com/Salaries/video-editor-salary-SRCH_KO0,12.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Glassdoor</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. However, the level of competition for jobs can vary depending on the specific role and location. Generally, the more specialized and in-demand the role, the higher the competition.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Having skills in DaVinci Resolve is an important asset for any professional in the video editing industry, but it is not the only skill that is needed to get a job. Employers also look for candidates who have a solid understanding of the technical aspects of video editing, such as color correction, visual effects, and audio mixing, as well as experience working on real-world projects. Additionally, a strong portfolio and a good understanding of the industry are important factors when looking for a job.</span></p> <h3>What is My Experience with DaVinci Resolve?</h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I am a </span><a href="https://www.coursera.org/instructor/archisha-bhar" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Guided Project Instructor</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and a Beta Tester at Coursera, having tested many courses before they’re officially launched.

It’s based on first-order logic, which means that programs in Prolog consist of logical statements that are interpreted as facts or rules (for example, the premise ‘If it rains, then the ground is wet’ and ‘It is raining’ lead to the conclusion ‘The ground is wet’).</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">These facts and rules can be used to make logical deductions which can help in developing intelligent systems that can reason, learn, and solve problems using logical rules and data, such as in complex decision making systems and AI.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this guide, I’ve picked the best free online courses to learn Prolog.

It is unique in that it is homoiconic, meaning it treats code as data, and is focused on specifying what you want to achieve rather than how to achieve it. This makes it well-suited for artificial intelligence and natural language processing tasks, as it allows the programmer to define a set of facts and rules that describe a problem and then use these to find a solution, or in other words, to ‘reason’.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Prolog is not only used in academia though, it has also seen commercial applications. The </span><a href="https://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jvms/se10/jvms10.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Java Virtual Machine Specification contains Prolog</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, </span><a href="https://github.com/nasa/MINX" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">NASA uses Prolog for voice-control</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, </span><a href="https://www.cs.nmsu.edu/ALP/2011/03/natural-language-processing-with-prolog-in-the-ibm-watson-system/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">IBM Watson’s natural language processing abilities come from Prolog</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, </span><a href="https://dtai.cs.kuleuven.be/CHR/files/Elston_SecuritEase.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">New Zealand’s stock broking system is written in Prolog</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, and a third of all airline tickets are handled by Prolog.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While Prolog has been around for more than half a century now, that hasn’t stopped it from evolving, with more declarative features that make it easier to understand and use to create general programs with less effort. If you need to model and solve complex problems through symbolic data and logical deductions, a logical programming language like Prolog can save the day.</span></p> <p><a href="https://www.classcentral.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone wp-image-79248 size-full" src="https://www.classcentral.com/report/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Class-Central-Preview-2.png" alt="Find your next course." width="1024" height="512" srcset="https://www.classcentral.com/report/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Class-Central-Preview-2.png 1024w, https://www.classcentral.com/report/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Class-Central-Preview-2-300x150.png 300w, https://www.classcentral.com/report/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Class-Central-Preview-2-768x384.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></a></p> <h2>Best Courses Guides Methodology</h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I built this ranking following the now tried-and-tested methodology used in previous Best Courses Guides (</span><a href="https://www.classcentral.com/report/category/best-courses/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">you can find them all here</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">).

Before you get started, watch </span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yy3o8pvDdZA" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">the course’s trailer</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The course presumes no background knowledge about logic or logical programming, although some experience in programming is helpful.</span></p> <h3>What You’ll Learn</h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To get started in logical programming, you’ll need to know the foundations of logic first. You’ll understand that Prolog is based on a subset of classical first-order predicate logic called </span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horn_clause" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Horn clauses</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> which allows for the proving of theorems through </span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resolution_(logic)" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">resolution</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> — an amazing tool for solving complex problems!</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Once you have the fundamentals of logic under your belt, you’ll soon be writing and reading Prolog programs. First, you’ll learn the most basic concepts of Prolog, such as its program and data structures. From there, you’ll learn how to reason effectively with Prolog by reading and writing Prolog programs, including doing integer arithmetic, sorting, and searching. You’ll level up your Prolog skills by exploring more advanced concepts such as logical purity and definite clause grammars, as well as practical techniques like declarative testing and debugging that can truly be a life-saver.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The potential of Prolog is truly limitless — from web applications, to databases, to cryptography, and of course, building artificial intelligence. Why is Prolog used for these? It’s because Prolog can emulate the process behind human decision making, proving complex mathematical theorems, and solving logic puzzles. You’ll find out how Prolog does this, as well how it is used in all of these applications in detail.</span></p> <h3>How You’ll Learn</h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This course consists of 33 chapters. You’ll learn by reading through the course chapters, looking at the code examples, and watching the lecture videos.</span></p> <table> <tbody> <tr> <td><b>Website</b></td> <td><span style="font-weight: 400;">metalevel.at</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td><b>Author</b></td> <td><span style="font-weight: 400;">Markus Triska</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td><b>Level</b></td> <td><span style="font-weight: 400;">Beginner — Advanced</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td><b>Workload</b></td> <td><span style="font-weight: 400;">N/A</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td><b>Certificate</b></td> <td><span style="font-weight: 400;">None</span></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <h3>Fun Facts</h3> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The website the course is hosted on uses a reverse proxy written in Prolog!</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">You can find the course’s </span><a href="https://github.com/triska/the-power-of-prolog" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Github page</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> here.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Power of Prolog aims to bring traditional old Prolog textbooks up to date with the current modern state of the language.

The course’s philosophy is ‘teaching by showing, learning by doing’, which is reflected in the interactive code blocks embedded in the course page for you to experiment with. By the end of this course, you’ll understand how logic can be used to solve problems in AI.</span></p> <h3>What You’ll Learn</h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The course is divided into 3 parts: Logic and Logic Programming; Reasoning with structured knowledge; Advanced reasoning techniques.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The first part serves as an introduction to Logic Programming with Prolog, where you’ll deal with concepts such as program clauses, query answering, proof trees, and recursive data structures in an intuitive manner. Then, you’ll cover them much more formally by proving soundness and completeness in a program. You’ll also uncover common Prolog programming techniques, including the use of SLD-trees, arithmetic expressions, second-order predicates, and programming techniques.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In Part II, the focus shifts to Artificial Intelligence concepts, specifically structured knowledge. You’ll learn how to represent structured knowledge (relationships) as graphs, and how to answer a problem with no known analytic solutions through two kinds of search — blind and informed.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Part III will explore advanced reasoning techniques beyond the boundaries of clausal logic, where sequences of events are happening over time, where truth is not guaranteed, and knowledge is available in non-logical form such as pictures or spoken text. You’ll learn how to turn natural language into clausal logics, and how to reason with incomplete information, and finally how to conduct inductive reasoning through generalization or specialization.</span></p> <h3>How You’ll Learn</h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This course consists of 12 chapters in total. You’ll learn by reading through chapter material, playing around with the interactive code samples, and completing the exercises given, some of them having answers.</span></p> <table> <tbody> <tr> <td><b>Institution</b></td> <td><span style="font-weight: 400;">Simply Logical</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td><b>Website</b></td> <td><span style="font-weight: 400;">book.simply-logical.space</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td><b>Author</b></td> <td><span style="font-weight: 400;">Peter Flach</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td><b>Level</b></td> <td><span style="font-weight: 400;">Beginner</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td><b>Workload</b></td> <td><span style="font-weight: 400;">N/A</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td><b>Certificate</b></td> <td><span style="font-weight: 400;">None</span></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <h3>Fun Facts</h3> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">About Simply Logical is an open-source project providing a suite of online resources about Artificial Intelligence and Logic Programming with Prolog.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Peter Flach is a Professor of Artificial Intelligence at the University of Bristol.

You’ll delve into the basics of running and compiling basic prolog code and understand how facts like “The sky is blue” are represented as simple predicates in Prolog. Next, you’ll learn how to define rules that make use of these facts, such as “If the sky is blue and the sun is shining, then it is a nice day”. Then, you’ll see Prolog do something magical — give it a query like “Is it a nice day?” and watch as it determines the answer for you!</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Moving on, you’ll dive into representing information as variable syntax and structs, and figure out how to ask more sophisticated questions about the data you have. Arithmetic operations will become second nature as you see how Prolog performs them. And that’s just the beginning! You’ll learn about Prolog’s support for complex data structures, such as lists and pairs, and how to perform advanced operations like sorting and searching through lists to get the information you need.</span></p> <h3>How You’ll Learn</h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This course is 1–2 hours long and consists of 4 parts. You’ll learn by watching the lecture videos and following along with the instructor as he codes.</span></p> <table> <tbody> <tr> <td><b>Channel</b></td> <td><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ryan Schachte</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td><b>Provider</b></td> <td><span style="font-weight: 400;">YouTube</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td><b>Instructor</b></td> <td><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ryan Schachte</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td><b>Level</b></td> <td><span style="font-weight: 400;">Beginner</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td><b>Workload</b></td> <td><span style="font-weight: 400;">1–2 hours</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td><b>Views</b></td> <td><span style="font-weight: 400;">253K</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td><b>Likes</b></td> <td><span style="font-weight: 400;">2.8K</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td><b>Certificate</b></td> <td><span style="font-weight: 400;">None</span></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <h3>Fun Facts</h3> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ryan Schatche’s YouTube channel discusses programming in C, C++, Java, Javascript, HTML, CSS, Assembly, MIPS, computer architecture, mathematics, and computer science theory.

You’ll learn how to use Prolog to describe facts and relationships about problems to facilitate automated reasoning.</span></p> <h3>What You’ll Learn</h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Prolog is a programming language that enables you to describe facts and relationships about problems rather than merely outlining a series of steps to solve them. You’ll learn how to define facts and rules to facilitate automated reasoning, and use variables as a placeholder for values that might change. Then, you’ll learn how to use if statements to create complex terms and rules.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Prolog also has logical and arithmetic operators. You’ll learn how to use them, both sequentially as well as recursively. You’ll also see how you can read and write to consoles and files. In fact, one of the things you’ll discuss is how to modify the database of facts and rules directly. Finally, you’ll learn how to create lists in Prolog to represent more similarity-related values and work with strings.</span></p> <h3>How You’ll Learn</h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This course is 1 hour long.

You’ll learn by going through each part and doing the interactive in-browser exercises for hands-on practice.</span></p> <table> <tbody> <tr> <td><b>Provider</b></td> <td><span style="font-weight: 400;">SWISH: SWI-Prolog for Sharing</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td><b>Author</b></td> <td><span style="font-weight: 400;">Robert Laing</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td><b>Level</b></td> <td><span style="font-weight: 400;">Beginner</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td><b>Workload</b></td> <td><span style="font-weight: 400;">N/A</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td><b>Certificate</b></td> <td><span style="font-weight: 400;">None</span></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <h3>Fun Facts</h3> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Robert Laing has a </span><a href="https://www.seatavern.co.za/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Prolog Cookbook</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> website where he writes down notes on logic programming with Prolog.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">He has also made a website where you can play </span><a href="https://www.newsgames.biz/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Chinese Checkers</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> coded in Prolog.</span></li> </ul> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you’re interested in this course, you can find </span><a href="https://www.classcentral.com/course/independent-an-introduction-to-prolog-for-sql-programers-120170" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">more information about the course and how to enroll here</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p> <p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.classcentral.com/report/best-free-prolog-courses/">6 Best Free Prolog Courses to Take in 2023</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.classcentral.com/report">The Report by Class Central</a>.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://www.classcentral.com/report/best-free-prolog-courses/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>[2023] 250 Top Udemy Courses of All Time</title> <link>https://www.classcentral.com/report/udemy-top-courses/</link> <comments>https://www.classcentral.com/report/udemy-top-courses/#comments</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Dhawal Shah]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Mon, 13 Feb 2023 14:00:09 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Course Report]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Rankings]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Udemy]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.classcentral.com/report/?p=73844</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>A list of Udemy's 250 most popular online courses.

An <a href="https://www.classcentral.com/report/udemy-by-the-numbers/">analysis by Class Central</a> shows they’ve launched over 200,000 courses since 2010.</p> <p>The pandemic boosted the <a href="https://www.classcentral.com/report/mooc-stats-pandemic/">fortune of many online providers</a>. Udemy was no exception. In 2020, <a href="https://www.classcentral.com/report/the-second-year-of-the-mooc/">propelled by the pandemic</a>, they <a href="https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/udemy/company_financials">raised $123 million</a> and increased their valuation by over $1 billion.</p> <p>In 2022, the situation changed. Overall, the company raised ~$300 million at a valuation over <a href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20201118005326/en/Udemy-Raises-50-Million-to-Fuel-Accelerated-Global-Demand-for-Online-Learning">$3 billion</a>. But Udemy’s market cap has significantly <a href="https://www.classcentral.com/report/2022-year-in-review/">fallen, like that of many other online course platforms</a>.</p> <p>In this course ranking, let’s explore the best of the best that Udemy has to offer.</p> <h2>Udemy By the Numbers</h2> <figure id="attachment_84875" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-84875" style="width: 1536px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="https://www.classcentral.com/report/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Growth-of-Courses_1.png"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-84875" src="https://www.classcentral.com/report/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Growth-of-Courses_1.png" alt="" width="1536" height="768" srcset="https://www.classcentral.com/report/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Growth-of-Courses_1.png 1536w, https://www.classcentral.com/report/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Growth-of-Courses_1-300x150.png 300w, https://www.classcentral.com/report/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Growth-of-Courses_1-1024x512.png 1024w, https://www.classcentral.com/report/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Growth-of-Courses_1-768x384.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-84875" class="wp-caption-text">Udemy By the Numbers (Jan 2023)</figcaption></figure> <p>Analyzing Udemy’s catalog with my colleague <a href="https://www.classcentral.com/@archisha">@Archisha</a>, we discovered that they currently have over 202,000 courses — which amounts to a 33% increase in the last 2 years. You may find a complete analysis of Udemy’s catalog here: <a href="https://www.classcentral.com/report/udemy-by-the-numbers/">202K Courses, 662M Enrollments: Breaking Down Udemy’s Massive Catalog</a>.</p> <p>Combined, Udemy’s 202K courses have gathered ~662 million enrollments and average 3274 enrollments per course. What I found most surprising is that the median enrollment is only 240, which means that half of Udemy’s courses don’t reach 240 learners.</p> <p>Currently, there are 718 courses with over 100K enrollments and 4 courses with over a million enrollments.</p> <p>Do Udemy courses satisfy the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareto_principle">Pareto 80/20 principle</a>? I found that Udemy’s top-20% courses by enrollment account for 91% of all enrollments.</p> <p>You can also find some of the <a href="https://www.classcentral.com/provider/udemy">best Udemy courses</a> on Class Central’s catalog page.</p> <hr /> <h2>250 Top Udemy Courses</h2> <p>Here’s a quick summary of 250 Udemy top courses based on the number of enrollments:</p> <ul> <li>Enrollments range from <strong>187K</strong> to <strong>1.8M</strong>. There are 4 courses with over <strong>1M</strong> enrollments.</li> <li>Combined, they account for <strong>79.5M</strong> enrollments, with an average of <strong>318K</strong> enrollments.</li> <li><strong>31%</strong> of the courses are free.</li> <li><strong>90%</strong> of the courses are in English.</li> <li aria-level="1">Combined, they represent <strong>4K</strong> hours of

This course is everything any business owner needs to go through.</p> <p>With this course, you will have the need to get to actually know your staff: how to place them and rate their performance as they work for you; Giving them room to discuss and showcase their talents and their opinions really matters in a business. I always have this slogan I use when advising business owners: “The way you treat your staff will determine the rate at which they will help to grow your business. 75% of staff will always want positive results for their employer’s business while 25% will just want to work and earn a salary not minding how the business succeeds.” Treating your staff right can help save your business in the sense that nobody wants to lose the job they value and get treated right.</p> <div class="quote relative padding-horz-large xlarge-up-padding-horz-xxlarge padding-vert-xxsmall margin-bottom-large quote-pull quote-text"> <p>Attention to details: staff tends to pay great attention to details and their environment when the workplace is accommodating.<span class="quote_deco absolute top left height-100"> </span></p> </div> <p>To conclude, every business owner needs to embark on self discovery to find their purpose and they should also work on their expectations.</p> <h2><a href="https://www.classcentral.com/course/gs10kw-11222">Grow Your Business</a></h2> <figure id="attachment_85291" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-85291" style="width: 1024px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-85291" src="https://www.classcentral.com/report/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Grow-Your-Business-with-Goldman-Sachs-10000-Women-Selecting-a-growth-opportunity-Kalyani-Study-Case.png" alt="" width="1024" height="512" srcset="https://www.classcentral.com/report/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Grow-Your-Business-with-Goldman-Sachs-10000-Women-Selecting-a-growth-opportunity-Kalyani-Study-Case.png 1024w, https://www.classcentral.com/report/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Grow-Your-Business-with-Goldman-Sachs-10000-Women-Selecting-a-growth-opportunity-Kalyani-Study-Case-300x150.png 300w, https://www.classcentral.com/report/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Grow-Your-Business-with-Goldman-Sachs-10000-Women-Selecting-a-growth-opportunity-Kalyani-Study-Case-768x384.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-85291" class="wp-caption-text">From “Selecting a growth opportunity” lesson, Ancient Living study case.</figcaption></figure> <p>This course will make you see the need for growth in your business and work towards it.

These are more than enough reasons to convince any language aficionado to get started learning Japanese. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In addition to that, Japan is also known for its tech and automobile industry, bringing to the world a number of </span><a target="_blank" href="https://blog.japanwondertravel.com/largest-and-popular-japanese-companies-34000" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">large Japanese companies</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> (such as Nintendo, Toyota, Canon, Sony, etc.) that carry in their core a strong culture attached to Japan roots.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">And lastly, if you want to open up to a number of opportunities as a Japanese translator or interpreter to your own language, there are hundreds of job openings on </span><a target="_blank" href="https://www.indeed.com/q-Japanese-Translator-jobs.html?vjk=6566af5e8b50f060" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Indeed</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, </span><a target="_blank" href="https://www.upwork.com/freelance-jobs/translation-japanese-english/" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Upwork</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and </span><a target="_blank" href="https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/japanese-translator-jobs/?currentJobId=3307031894" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">LinkedIn</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.

As my interest grew, I started learning more about Japan in general, so I became familiar with how Japanese actually works in the real world.

Then, I made a preliminary selection of </span><a target="_blank" href="https://www.classcentral.com/subject/japanese" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">40+ Japanese courses</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> by rating, reviews, and bookmarks.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Evaluate:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> I read through reviews on Class Central, Reddit, and course providers to understand what other learners thought about each course and combined it with my own experience as a </span><a target="_blank" href="https://www.classcentral.com/@archisha" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">learner</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Select:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Well-made courses were picked if they presented valuable and engaging content and they have to fit in a set of criteria and be ranked accordingly: comprehensive curriculum, release date, affordability, ratings and enrollments.</span></li> </ol> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The end result is a unique selection of courses that combines a decade of Class Central data and my own experience as an online learner to try to get the best of both worlds.

The team needed a programming language that can handle <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telephone_exchange" target="_blank" rel="noopener">telephone switching</a> — a very difficult endeavor that requires high levels of concurrency and zero downtime (I’m sure you can imagine why).</p> <p>After experimenting with dozens of different languages, they came to a stark conclusion: no such language exists! Instead of giving up or settling for compromises, they instead decided to create their own programming language.</p> <p>Hopefully that brief history lesson gave you some context for why Erlang is known for two things: its practical concurrent programming and its robust virtual machine.</p> <p>Erlang is a functional programming language for all the right reasons — scalability and concurrency. It has a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actor_model" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lightweight threading model</a> (which Rust also uses) and a powerful process-based runtime system. <a href="https://erlang.org/course/history.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Companies like WhatsApp and Heroku</a> are able to scale and handle millions of concurrent connections in real-time thanks to Erlang.</p> <p>Also, the Erlang virtual machine (BEAM) is legendary for its fault-tolerance. The language has built-in support for handling failures, like automatically restarting processes and recovering from crashes. For mission-critical systems, you can be rest assured that your applications will continue running 24/7 even when things eventually go wrong.</p> <p>In addition to its concurrency and fault tolerance features, Erlang is also a highly expressive language that allows you to write concise and elegant code. It has a simple syntax and a rich set of libraries, like the Open Telecom Platform, making it easy to learn and use.</p> <p>Unfortunately, there are not enough developers in the world that know Erlang, even though Erlang developers are highly sought after. That’s why Erlang is the second highest paying programming language to learn (after Clojure) according to the <a href="https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2022/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Stack Overflow Developer Survey 2022</a>. So why not become one of them? Whether you’re building a web application, a real-time messaging system, or a distributed database, Erlang is a worthy choice for building reliable, scalable systems.</p> <p><a href="https://www.classcentral.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone wp-image-79247 size-full" src="https://www.classcentral.com/report/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Class-Central-Preview-1.png" alt="Find your next course." width="1024" height="512" srcset="https://www.classcentral.com/report/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Class-Central-Preview-1.png 1024w, https://www.classcentral.com/report/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Class-Central-Preview-1-300x150.png 300w, https://www.classcentral.com/report/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Class-Central-Preview-1-768x384.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></a></p> <h2>Best Courses Guides Methodology</h2> <p>I built this ranking following the now tried-and-tested methodology used in previous Best Courses Guides (<a href="https://www.classcentral.com/report/category/best-courses/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">you can find them all here</a>).

Plus, the video tutorials teach Erlang through interactive programming and examples. By the end of this tutorial, you’ll have a well-grounded understanding of the Erlang programming language.</p> <p>Some prior knowledge of programming is required to take this course.</p> <h3>What You’ll Learn</h3> <p>In this tutorial, you’ll start by learning the tools and vocabulary of the Erlang programming language. You’ll write a simple “Hello, World” module and compile it to get a feel for the Erlang syntax and structure. You’ll then delve into common programming concepts such as data types, control structures, and functions, but with a functional and concurrent twist specific to Erlang.</p> <p>One of the key features of Erlang is its use of processes to execute code concurrently (fun fact, millions of processes can run at the same time!). You’ll learn how to spawn and manage them. Other functional programming concepts will be explored too, such as recursion, anonymous functions, and higher-order functions. Along with other concepts like atoms, comprehensions, and pattern matching, you’ll have the skills to write efficient and scalable code.</p> <p>In addition to these foundational topics, you’ll study more advanced constructs in Erlang. You’ll learn how to use maps and processes together to build a simple key-value database that can perform basic data operations. You’ll also learn about error handling in Erlang, and how to design your code to continue running even when errors occur. And to give you some practical examples, you’ll implement a palindrome checker and Conway’s game of life in Erlang, giving you the opportunity to apply your knowledge to real-world problems.</p> <h3>How You’ll Learn</h3> <p>This course is 8–9 hours long. You’ll learn by watching the lecture videos and following along with the instructor as he codes interactively using the Erlang shell.</p> <table> <tbody> <tr> <td><b>Channel</b></td> <td>Erlang Tutorial</td> </tr> <tr> <td><b>Provider</b></td> <td>YouTube</td> </tr> <tr> <td><b>Instructors</b></td> <td>Michal</td> </tr> <tr> <td><b>Level</b></td> <td>Beginner</td> </tr> <tr> <td><b>Workload</b></td> <td>8–9 hours</td> </tr> <tr> <td><b>Views</b></td> <td>17K</td> </tr> <tr> <td><b>Certificate</b></td> <td>None</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <h3>Fun Facts</h3> <ul> <li aria-level="1">Mysteriously, I’m not able to find any information on the author of the playlist, apart from that his name is Michal and that he is Polish.</li> <li aria-level="1">He cites <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Programming-Erlang-Concurrent-Pragmatic-Programmers/dp/193778553X" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Programming Erlang</a> on various occasions in this course.</li> </ul> <p>If you’re interested in this course, you can find <a href="https://www.classcentral.com/course/youtube-erlang-tutorial-120161" target="_blank" rel="noopener">more information about the course and how to enroll here</a>.</p> <h2 id="anchor-2">2. <a href="https://www.classcentral.com/course/independent-erlang-master-classes-120166" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Erlang Master Classes (University of Kent)</a></h2> <p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-85270" src="https://www.classcentral.com/report/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/2.-Erlang-Master-Classes-University-of-Kent.png" alt="" width="1024" height="512" srcset="https://www.classcentral.com/report/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/2.-Erlang-Master-Classes-University-of-Kent.png 1024w, https://www.classcentral.com/report/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/2.-Erlang-Master-Classes-University-of-Kent-300x150.png 300w, https://www.classcentral.com/report/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/2.-Erlang-Master-Classes-University-of-Kent-768x384.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></p> <p>My 2nd pick for the best Erlang course are <a href="https://www.classcentral.com/course/independent-erlang-master-classes-120166" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the Erlang Master Classes</a> from the University of Kent.</p> <p>This <b>free</b> course comprises three master classes taught by esteemed Erlang programmers (one of them even helped invent Erlang). Each class focuses on different aspects of Erlang — functional programming, concurrent programming, and larger-scale programming with OTP — are used to solve complex real-world problems through case studies and examples. By the end of the course, you’ll know how Erlang is used practically.</p> <p>The course assumes you have some basic familiarity with Erlang (watch the first video of the first masterclass to know more).</p> <h3>What You’ll Learn</h3> <p>The first master class focuses on language processing in general, with a focus on processing arithmetical expressions in Erlang. This will include how to interpret, compile, and run the expressions on a virtual machine, as well as simplifying and converting them to and from a textual form.</p> <p>In the second master class, you’ll understand how Erlang does concurrent programming in Erlang through the ‘share nothing’ concurrency model. You’ll learn how to make sequential code concurrent and how to build systems using communicating processes. You’ll also cover Erlang’s famous approach to fault tolerance and how errors can happen while still keeping the program running.</p> <p>Erlang has a wide ecosystem of tools and libraries — that’s what makes Erlang great. But, the most important tool for servers is arguably the The Open Telecom Platform (OTP). Hence in the final master class, you’ll explore OTP in depth, taking a look at its generic behaviors (such as a generic server) and how it can be used to build complex systems quickly and reliably, in addition to packaging and releasing systems.</p> <h3>How You’ll Learn</h3> <p>The master classes are presented by Joe Armstrong, Ericsson AB and KTH, Stockholm, and one of the inventors of Erlang; Francesco Cesarini, CTO and founder of Erlang Solutions Ltd; and Simon Thompson, functional programming teacher and researcher at the University of Kent. Each Master Class ends with a discussion between the three presenters on some of the issues raised by the Master Class.</p> <table> <tbody> <tr> <td><b>Institution</b></td> <td>University of Kent</td> </tr> <tr> <td><b>Instructors</b></td> <td>Joe Armstrong, Francesco Cesarini, Simon Thompson</td> </tr> <tr> <td><b>Level</b></td> <td>Intermediate</td> </tr> <tr> <td><b>Workload</b></td> <td>4 hours</td> </tr> <tr> <td><b>Certificate</b></td> <td>None</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <h3>Fun Facts</h3> <ul> <li aria-level="1">This MOOC was created to celebrate the university’s 50th anniversary.

You’ll explore how Erlang is very pragmatic in its approach to functional programming, and how it results in robust, concurrent, distributed systems.</p> <h3>What You’ll Learn</h3> <p>You’ll start by exploring the basics of the language, like variables, data types, and conditional statements. And since the language follows the functional paradigm, you’ll learn how to solve problems the functional way, using concepts like recursion and higher order functions.</p> <p>Next, you’ll delve into the concepts of concurrency in Erlang and learn how to use processes, message passing, and other techniques to build concurrent systems. You’ll also learn about OTP (Open Telecom Platform), a set of libraries and tools for building distributed and fault-tolerant systems in Erlang. And this fault-tolerance can only be resolved through smart error and exception handling.</p> <p>Data structures and algorithms appear everywhere in software, and Erlang is no exception. You’ll use them to solve common problems. You’ll also learn about working with sockets and networking, along with event handlers and supervisors.</p> <p>Finally, you’ll learn about testing and debugging in Erlang, including how to use tools such as EUnit to test your code and how to release and deploy Erlang applications.</p> <h3>How You’ll Learn</h3> <p>This tutorial consists of 36 chapters. You’ll learn by reading through the many chapters and implementing the code given in the course on your system.</p> <table> <tbody> <tr> <td><b>Website</b></td> <td>learnyousomeerlang.com</td> </tr> <tr> <td><b>Instructor</b></td> <td>Frederic Trottier-Hebert</td> </tr> <tr> <td><b>Level</b></td> <td>Beginner</td> </tr> <tr> <td><b>Workload</b></td> <td>N/A</td> </tr> <tr> <td><b>Certificate</b></td> <td>None</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <h3>Fun Facts</h3> <ul> <li aria-level="1">Frederic Trottier-Hebert is a French-Canadian working as a site reliability engineer at honeycomb.io.

This <b>free</b> text-based course covers Erlang from its history, to the basics parts of Erlang as well as to the advanced.</p> <p>However, this course is quite bare, so be sure to supplement this course with other courses, the <a href="https://erlang.org/course/exercises.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">course’s own exercises</a>, and <a href="https://erlangforums.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Erlang’s discussion forums</a>.</p> <p>Programming experience is needed to take this course.</p> <h3>What You’ll Learn</h3> <p>This course is divided into 5 modules.</p> <p>First, you’ll take a short look at the history of Erlang to understand and appreciate the motivations and design principles behind its creation. Then, you’ll start with the basics of sequential programming which follows the style of many other languages where code is run on a single thread. This will include learning basic programming concepts as well as Erlang’s functional programming capabilities.</p> <p>Next, you’ll get to the exciting part of Erlang: concurrent programming. You’ll understand how to use processes, lightweight concurrent units of execution that can run alongside other processes. You’ll also learn how errors can propagate through processes and how to handle them when they occur. Lastly, the course ends by covering a few tricky topics and quirks in the Erlang language.</p> <h3>How You’ll Learn</h3> <p>According to the course description, this course will take 4 days to complete, but that can vary depending on your current skill. You’ll learn by reading through the course modules and completing the exercises to help you put into practice what you’ve learned.</p> <table> <tbody> <tr> <td><b>Provider</b></td> <td>erlang.org</td> </tr> <tr> <td><b>Level</b></td> <td>Beginner</td> </tr> <tr> <td><b>Workload</b></td> <td>N/A</td> </tr> <tr> <td><b>Certificate</b></td> <td>None</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p>If you’re interested in this course, you can find <a href="https://www.classcentral.com/course/independent-erlang-logo-an-erlang-course-120164" target="_blank" rel="noopener">more information about the course and how to enroll here</a>.</p> <h2 id="anchor-6">6. <a href="https://www.classcentral.com/course/udemy-modern-erlang-for-beginners-120163" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Modern Erlang for Beginners (Roberto Ostinelli)</a></h2> <p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-85274" src="https://www.classcentral.com/report/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/6.-Modern-Erlang-for-Beginners-Roberto-Ostinelli.png" alt="" width="1024" height="512" srcset="https://www.classcentral.com/report/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/6.-Modern-Erlang-for-Beginners-Roberto-Ostinelli.png 1024w, https://www.classcentral.com/report/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/6.-Modern-Erlang-for-Beginners-Roberto-Ostinelli-300x150.png 300w, https://www.classcentral.com/report/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/6.-Modern-Erlang-for-Beginners-Roberto-Ostinelli-768x384.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></p> <p><a href="https://www.classcentral.com/course/udemy-modern-erlang-for-beginners-120163" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Modern Erlang for Beginners</a> is a <b>paid </b>Udemy course that provides a simple and concise introduction to Erlang.</p> <p>To take this course, you should have some experience with another programming language.</p> <h3>What You’ll Learn</h3> <p>You’ll begin by installing and setting up Erlang on your PC, using the IntelliJ IDE.
