Computers are very powerful machines, that do incredible work. But how do they work? How can it tell the difference between a 1 and a 7? How can it tell the difference between reading a Word document and a PowerPoint? If you understand programmatic theory, then you can write in any programming language. This class is designed to unravel the mysteries surrounding these machines. Ranging from programming theory (what is a pointer?) to actual computational challenges (what is the correct data structure to use based on the Big O requirements?) No specific language is covered in this course, it will be purely theoretical knowledge and 'pseudocode'. The topics covered are listed below Programmatic Theory: Literals, Operators, Keywords Variables, Data Types, Generics Memory Usage, Pointers, Arrays Branching, Iteration, Iterators Functions, Control Flow, Scope, Closures, Enumerations, OOP Classes and Instances, Immutability, Inheritance Polymorphism, Exception Handling, Composition Asynchronous Programming, Multithreading, Multiprocessing Internal Workings: Binary, Hexadecimal, Number Systems Extrinsic vs Intrinsic Data, Coupling, MVC Architecture CPU, FED Cycle, Spatial Locality Caching, Performance, Memory Types Storing Complex Data (Text), Storing Complex Data (Sound), Storing Complex Data (Images) Data Structures and Algorithms: Performance, Big O, Measuring Performance Searching, Sorting, Decomposition Data Structures, Arrays, Linked Lists Single Buffers (Pools), Double Buffers, Ring Buffers Stacks, Queues, Priority Queues Heaps, Hash Tables, Graphs Trees, Binary Trees, Vectors
