Version Control Systems keep track of files by saving changes over time. For example, a developer can make changes to a file and check the file in to the system. The system will create a version for that file and any other files that were changed. If any subsequent changes are made later that prove to break the software, a previous working version of the software can be recalled. Git was developed to provide an efficient means of version control and was originally developed to track Linux Kernel development. In this course, you will create a local Git repository using an existing directory structure containing directories and files. You will use Git commands such as add, commit, and status to commit changes to your local Git repository. 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 be able to Create a Text Effect Logo Professionally using Adobe illustrator. We will be designing a Text effect logo for a hair shop called “THE WAVY HAIRSHOP ''. The word wavy will be distorted to reflect the wavy shape of the hair. Then color variations of this logo will be created. Next, we will design a Social media post to implement the use of the logo color variations. Last but not least, these posts will be added to a mobile mockup to showcase the client how the designs will look like when published to the market and social media platforms. This project is for intermediate designers, who already have the basics of Adobe illustrator, that are able to build simple designs using this program. In addition, for students that aim to learn new and advanced design techniques. Since logos can be designed in many styles, a Text Effect logo is one them. Taking this course will help you as a designer to gain advanced skills in designing a logo and to learn how distortion can be applied to a text in order to reflect the brand’s name and vision. In this Project, we’ll be using Adobe illustrator which is one of the Adobe Creative Cloud.

This course is intended for the Master's student and computer engineer who likes practical programming and problem-solving! After completing this course, you will have the knowledge to plan and set up a real-time system both on paper and in practice. The course centers around the problem of achieving timing correctness in embedded systems, which means to guarantee that the system reacts within the real-time requirements. Examples of such systems include airbags, emergency breaks, avionics, and also multi-media systems like video playback and QoS in web servers. The course teaches how to plan real-time systems, in theory, using established mathematical proofs and how to implement them in practice by using the most common scheduling methods. We also learn and how to program the system in the C language using the FreeRTOS real-time kernel. Finally, we have a look at the future of real-time systems namely multi-core real-time systems! This course focus on the learn-by-doing approach with many examples and real-world programming assignments. We have 5 modules, each with a gentle graded quiz in the end and one peer-reviewed programming assignment. In case you have no experience with C programming, please check you a practical course like: https://www.coursera.org/learn/arduino-platform The course is actually quite fun! -Simon Holmbacka / Åbo Akademi University Check out our whole curriculum: https://research.it.abo.fi/
