How to Code: Complex Data

This course is really extraordinary! I totally recommend both courses in the How to code series. I learned concepts that were completely new to me, and that will sure be very important for my career.

You will work with functional programming languages, which were new to me and very exciting to learn!

You will learn concepts like Mutual Recursion, Graphs, Accumulators, Generative recursion, Arbitrary-arity trees and so many more!

I really loved a module on Search where you design a program that solves any Sudoku and another one where you solve a Tic Tac Toe Board through implementing algorithms discussed in lectures.

You will also study and generate fractals, very, very, very interesting examples of generative recursion.

The quizzes are very well designed. Some quizzes are problems that you will solve in your own Dr Racket IDE and you will answer multiple choice questions based on your design. What's really awesome is that they give your the freedom to be creative when implementing the concepts you've learned for the quizzes exercises.

This is a very challenging and rigorous course. The practice problems really prepare you for the types of exercises you will find at quizzes and solutions for practice problems are provided as well if you would like to check your solution or see alternative forms of solving the problem.

There are forums to ask questions, and as a verified learner you can have the great experience of a LIVE session with Professor Kiczales and Miss Erika who will answer your questions LIVE!

I am going to take the final exam in the next few days after reviewing all the material I've learned in the course and It's been a great experience.

Looking forward to take more UBCx courses!

I promise you, this course will be worth it, you will learn so much!!
