Unix forms a foundation that is often very helpful for accomplishing other goals you might have for you and your computer, whether that goal is running a business, writing a book, curing disease, or creating the next great app. The means to these goals are sometimes carried out by writing software. Software can’t be mined out of the ground, nor can software seeds be planted in spring to harvest by autumn. Software isn’t produced in factories on an assembly line. Software is a hand-made, often bespoke good. If a software developer is an artisan, then Unix is their workbench. Unix provides an essential and simple set of tools in a distraction-free environment. Even if you’re not a software developer learning Unix can open you up to new methods of thinking and novel ways to scale your ideas. This course is intended for folks who are new to programming and new to Unix-like operating systems like macOS and Linux distributions like Ubuntu. Most of the technologies discussed in this course will be accessed via a command line interface. Command line interfaces can seem alien at first, so this course attempts to draw parallels between using the command line and actions that you would normally take while using your mouse and keyboard. You’ll also learn how to write little pieces of software in a programming language called Bash, which allows you to connect together the tools we’ll discuss. My hope is that by the end of this course you be able to use different Unix tools as if they’re interconnecting Lego bricks.

Regardless of the industry, business process automation is here to stay. Business processes are increasingly being automated through software automation. But how is software automation simplified and made accessible? The answer is Robotic Process Automation or RPA. RPA lifecycle: Intrdocution, Discovery and Design is the first course of the Specialization on Implementing RPA with Cognitive Solutions and Analytics. In this course, you will be introduced to RPA and see how it is combined with cognitive solutions and analytics to enable organizations to adopt the model of a “Digital Workforce” and help them transform the nature of their work. You will also learn about the first two phases of the RPA implementation lifecycle: Discovery and Design. In the Discovery phase, you take a set of business processes and identify those that are suitable and beneficial for automation. In the Design phase, you create a plan for your RPA project. The learning will be reinforced through concept description and guided practice.

In this 1-hour long project-based course, you will learn how to create a Java Stream object based on a CSV data file, and engineer its data using Stream and Collector methods. You will explore the dataset using stream methods, and then apply a reduction operations on the data using a range of Collector methods. You will learn how to join and split strings in the data. You will apply the groupingBy method for grouping your data stream based on fields in your data object. Note: This course works best for learners who are based in the North America region. We’re currently working on providing the same experience in other regions.

By the end of this project, you will create a basic and fully functioning version of the known game, Space Invaders using Python and Pygame. Python is one of the most in demand programming languages, and using the Pygame with it will give you a chance to easily implement many game applications. In this project You will be able to set up a pygame program, you will identify the pygame logic and how to apply it to your own games. You will also be able to populate your window and set up background images and music. Finally, You will be able to control object movement and detect collisions. Note: This course works best for learners who are based in the North America region. We’re currently working on providing the same experience in other regions.

In this Guided Project, you will do a quick tour of Terraform, one of the most popular tools used by DevOps teams to automate infrastructure tasks. Terraform's main appeal is that we just declare what our infrastructure should look like, and the tool will decide which actions must be taken to “materialize” that infrastructure. By the end of this project, you will have learnt how to automate your infrastructure with Terraform. This project will also prepare you with hands-on knowledge for automatically provisioning AWS EC2 server instances using Terraform scripts. Please note: You will need an AWS account to complete this course. All the resources used in the course come under free-tier provided by AWS for new users. But you might be charged if you have already used up your free-tier credits.

This project provides a step-by-step approach in instruction and will equip you with fundamental concepts of creating and using methods in Java programming, from the ground up. Using jGRASP development environment, you will create a Java project that processes your personal details using methods. These details are your name, your age, and your books. Using this data you will use methods to output your name, how old you will be in later years, and the list of books that you have. By the end of this project, you will be able to write a Java program using objects, instance variables, void methods, non-void methods, parameterized methods, and static methods. If this is the first time you are learning about methods you will benefit from writing a program from a template to a fully functioning program. If you already have programming experience, this is an opportunity to refresh your skills in using methods, classes, and objects. No matter your level, you will be able to apply the skills obtained from this course in real-life programming exercises. To provide you with support outside the course, you will find a pool of additional notes and exercises that you can try at home. If you ever wanted to build on the fundamental skills in Java that you already possess and become better at using methods, classes and objects, this project is the right place to start!

Course one of the Architecting Hybrid Cloud with Anthos series introduces participants to manage multi-cloud and hybrid Kubernetes deployments using Anthos. Through presentations and hands-on labs, participants explore planning and creating Anthos environments and building manageable and reliable multi-cluster Kubernetes infrastructure environments centered around Anthos and containers. This course is a continuation of Architecting with GKE and assumes direct experience with the technologies covered in that course.

This course, Oracle SQL Basics is the third course in the Oracle specialization. It is designed to help you learn the key elements of the Structured Query Language specific to Oracle. We recommend that you have completed the first two courses (Oracle Database Foundations and Oracle Database Platform) prior to beginning this one.

By the end of this project you'll create a Simple BMI calculator Android application using Android studio and Java. we are going to work with: - Text Views - Buttons - Toast Messages - EditText Views - Intents and Activities - ImageViews - Linear Layouts. In this project we will also cover different types of listeners in Android. Note: This project works best for learners who are based in the North America region. We’re currently working on providing the same experience in other regions.
