Hekslet 5 months later: new online courses in Russian
Hi, Habr!
Almost five months have passed since the restart of the educational project Hekslet . Let me remind you: we conduct free online courses on programming and related disciplines. Today we want to talk about our successes, past and current courses and future plans.

Javascript programming
A short course on the basics of programming language JavaScript. No browser, no jQuery, no DOM, just pure JavaScript with all the awful and beautiful details. More information about the course can be found in the first lecture.
At the moment, almost one and a half thousand students enrolled in the course.
- First lecture (introduction, about course, numbers in JS) lecture page with tests , download video , youtube
- Second lecture (lines, objects, prototypes) lecture page with tests , download video , youtube
- Third lecture (functions and closures) lecture page with tests , download video , youtube
- Fourth lecture (inheritance and constructors) lecture page with tests , download video , youtube
- The fifth lecture (arrays) lecture will be released after November 11
- The sixth lecture (regular expressions) lecture will be released after November 18
- Seventh lecture (details) lecture will be released after November 25
Introduction to Financial Engineering
The course began in the previous version of the Hekslet project, but in this the author Dmitry Nesteruk decided to rework the course and start it anew. The goal of the course is to provide students with the skills for a comfortable understanding and participation in international financial markets. The course provides the basic knowledge required to understand the structure of markets and the instruments traded on them, pricing issues, as well as the technical aspects of trading.
At the moment, about five hundred students enrolled in the course.
- First lecture (Instruments and Markets. Introductory lecture on financial markets and instruments traded in them)
- The second lecture (Derivatives. We are talking about options, drawing option payment diagrams. Finally, we connect via Plaza II / C-Gate, look at the interaction with the stock exchange, write the structure of "glass")
- The third lecture (Binomial Model. We discuss the binomial model for calculating the value of an option, we build glasses on FORTS)
Lectures are published every few weeks.
Java application development
The foundation of one of the most popular programming languages is Java, and preparation for certification of Java SE 7 from Oracle. The course recorded over six thousand students.
Structure and interpretation of computer programs
A fundamental course based on a book of the same name from MIT professors talks about data and code abstraction, recursion, state and metalanguage abstraction. Completed the first part of the course of five. All lectures can be downloaded on RuTrekera .
Course trailer:
More than three thousand students are enrolled in the course.
OS X Development
Objective-C programming language and application development for Mac OS X in Apple's Xcode development environment. Full course from the basics of the language to complex programs. More than two thousand students are enrolled in the course.
Hekslet invites experienced and novice teachers. You can start your own course or join the development of an existing one.
At the time of launching the course, you need to record at least two first lectures, and also have a plan for the entire course.
We have many interesting ideas for the future, but for the implementation of the majority, sponsors are required. We are open for cooperation with IT companies. Write to rakhim@hexlet.org.
A sample list of future courses looks like this:

Our manifesto
No banks, no politics, no religion, no money can solve problems and improve life. The water in the faucet, the faucet in the warm house, the Internet and medicine for terrible diseases - all this is the fruit of the work of scientists and engineers. Knowledge is the basis of human civilization, so knowledge should be free and accessible.
Knowledge should be free!
