New Hekslet: online courses (Java, SICP, Objective C, etc.) in Russian
Hello, Habr!
Last fall, I opened Hexlet - an educational project with free online programming courses in Russian. A week later , the first course started - Development for OS X. It was a very interesting experience, but many mistakes were made in the development of this project. ')
Today, I am pleased to announce the restart of Heksleta! What awaits you:
New site and convenient, fast engine. There were so many problems with the old one that many students simply could not use it normally.
Improved course format. In the first version, I tried to emulate a physical university on the Internet, and it was necessary to initially do an online course.
Personal communication with the teacher. I want to make this feature an important difference from other educational projects.
New, interesting courses and plans for future courses.
Already, you can enroll in the first three courses:
Initial Java course and preparation for certification of Java SE 7 from Oracle. The content is about that . The first lecture is already available, the second will be released on June 20. There will be about seven in all. There is a podcast in iTunes .
The first lecture is a course description and introduction to Java:
Russian version of the famous SICP course on the same book . Very important and very interesting course. Suitable for both experienced programmers and absolute beginners. It talks about the fundamental principles that underlie modern programming. The course is divided into 5 parts, in each order 5 lectures. The first lecture will be released on July 1.
Recycling and repeating our very first course. Objective-C programming language and application development for Mac OS X. Course duration - 15 weeks, every week there will be several video modules. At the end of each module - a small test. Beginning - August 1, 2013.
Course Description:
Future JavaScript Programming course
A small but important course in one of the most popular programming languages. We will not deal with its use in the web (no jquery or node.js), but we will study the language itself, prototypes, closures, and so on.
Future course “Introduction to genetics”
The initial course of evolution, genes, DNA. For the seed you can see the introductory lecture on genetic algorithms:
Future course "Operating Systems"
An interesting journey into the bowels of the computer, to the place where the iron meets with the programs. For starters, you can see a piece of my lecture from Almaty IT University (in English):
