Overview
Computers are great at helping us with repetitive tasks, and this applies just as much to our use of the computer as it does to the computations we want it to perform. Because of today’s technology, we have a vast range of tools to choose from that enables us to be more productive. Yet, many of us only use a small fraction of these tools; this course is an attempt to address this issue.
To do so, this course will cover topics such as: command-line, bash scripts, debugging, profiling, version control, testing and data wrangling. We will also cover how to use a powerful text editor called vim.
Learning highlights
- As a result of this course students should become more efficient developers.
- They will be able to use vim to edit code faster.
- Learners will master the tools to make bugging more efficient and to automate repetitive tasks.
