This specialization develops strong programming fundamentals for learners who want to solve complex problems by writing computer programs. Through four courses, you will learn to develop algorithms in a systematic way and read and write the C code to implement them. This will prepare you to pursue a career in software development or other computational fields.
Successful completion of this Specialization will be considered by admissions as a demonstration of your skill and enhance your master’s application to Duke’s Pratt School of Engineering.

Специализация: принцип работы
Пройти курсы
Специализация Coursera — это серия курсов, помогающих в совершенстве овладеть определенным навыком. Можно сразу записаться на специализацию или просмотреть курсы, из которых она состоит и выбрать тот, с которого вы хотите начать. Подписываясь на курс, который входит в специализацию, вы автоматически подписываетесь на всю специализацию. Можно завершить всего один курс, а потом сделать паузу в обучении или в любой момент отменить подписку. Отслеживайте свои курсы и прогресс на панели управления учащегося.
Практический проект
В каждой специализации есть практический проект, который нужно успешно выполнить, чтобы завершить специализацию и получить сертификат. Если для практического проекта в специализации предусмотрен отдельный курс, прежде чем начать его, необходимо завершить все остальные курсы.
Получите сертификат
Когда вы пройдете все курсы и завершите практический проект, вы получите сертификат, которым можно поделиться с потенциальными работодателями и коллегами.
Специализация включает несколько курсов: 4
Курс1
Programming Fundamentals
4.7
Оценки: 807
Programming is an increasingly important skill, whether you aspire to a career in software development, or in other fields. This course is the first in the specialization Introduction to Programming in C, but its lessons extend to any language you might want to learn. This is because programming is fundamentally about figuring out how to solve a class of problems and writing the algorithm, a clear set of steps to solve any problem in its class. This course will introduce you to a powerful problem-solving process—the Seven Steps—which you can use to solve any programming problem. In this course, you will learn how to develop an algorithm, then progress to reading code and understanding how programming concepts relate to algorithms.
Курс2
Writing, Running, and Fixing Code in C
4.6
Оценки: 166
Building on the course Programming Fundamentals, this course will teach you how to write code by first planning what your program should do—an important approach for novice and professional programmers. You will learn how to compile and run your program, and then how to test and debug it. This course builds on the Seven Steps you have already learned and provides a framework for systematically testing for problems and fixing them, so you can find and fix problems efficiently.
Курс3
Pointers, Arrays, and Recursion
4.5
Оценки: 87
The third course in the specialization Introduction to Programming in C introduces the programming constructs pointers, arrays, and recursion. Pointers provide control and flexibility when programming in C by giving you a way to refer to the location of other data. Arrays provide a way to bundle data by guaranteeing sequences of data are grouped together. Finally, recursive functions—functions that call themselves—provide an alternative to iteration that are very useful for implementing certain algorithms.
Курс4
Interacting with the System and Managing Memory
4.4
Оценки: 38
The final course in the specialization Introduction to Programming in C will teach you powerful new programming techniques for interacting with the user and the system and dynamically allocating memory. You will learn more sophisticated uses for pointers, such as strings and multidimensional arrays, as well as how to write programs that read and write files and take input from the user. Learning about dynamic memory allocation will allow your programs to perform complex tasks that will be applied in the final part of the specialization project: a Monte Carlo simulation for calculating poker hand probabilities.

Часто задаваемые вопросы
Какие правила возврата средств?
Можно ли зарегистрироваться только на один курс?
Да! Чтобы начать, нажмите карточку интересующего вас курса и зарегистрируйтесь. Зарегистрировавшись, вы можете пройти курс и получить сертификат, ссылкой на который можно делиться с другими людьми. Просто ознакомиться с содержанием курса можно бесплатно. При подписке на курс, входящий в специализацию, вы автоматически подписываетесь на всю специализацию. Ход учебы можно отслеживать в панели управления учащегося.
Можно ли получить финансовую помощь?
Могу ли я пройти курс бесплатно?
Действительно ли это полностью дистанционный курс? Нужно ли мне посещать какие-либо занятия лично?
Это полностью дистанционный курс, потому вам не нужно ничего посещать. Все лекции, материалы для самостоятельного изучения и задания доступны всегда и везде по Интернету и с мобильных устройств.
Сколько времени занимает получение специализации?
Each course is designed to take 4 weeks of study, with 6–8 hours per week. Some learners may work through the specialization more or less quickly.
What background knowledge is necessary?
This specialization is for learners who have an interest in learning how to program, for people with no programming experience or for people with some experience who would like to gain solid fundamentals and a deeper understanding of how to program effectively.
Do I need to take the courses in a specific order?
If you are new to programming, you should take the courses in order. Otherwise, you could start with Course 2 or Course 3, depending on your previous experience. Intermediate programmers new to C may like to start with Course 1 to learn the basics of syntax (and review algorithm design relevant to all languages).
Получу ли я зачеты в университете за прохождение специализации?
Successfully completing the Specialization confers a Coursera Certificate with the instructors' signatures. This is different from Duke University course credit.
What will I be able to do upon completing the Specialization?
You will be able to approach a programming problem systematically, from designing an algorithm, to implementing it in code, to thoroughly testing your code. You will have a strong foundation in programming principles and be able to use C syntax fluently. Your final project will prove you can write a sophisticated program of intermediate scale—a Monte Carlo simulation to calculate poker hand probabilities.
Are there any additional benefits to completing this Specialization?
Successful completion of this Specialization will be considered by admissions as a demonstration of your skill and enhance your master’s application to Duke’s Pratt School of Engineering.
