- Do you want to learn how to develop computer programs efficiently?
- Do you have a prior knowledge on computer programming languages?
- Are you willing to learn the art of programming after going through video tutorials presented by professional, qualified and experienced instructors?
 
The programming language (Java, PHP, Python and C++ etc.) is a system of notation for describing algorithms and data structures defined artificial formal system by means of which to express algorithms. The programming language defines a set of lexical, syntactic and semantic rules that specify the appearance of the program. Since the creation of the first programmable machine more than two and a half thousand languages, the number of programming languages in the market is increasing each year. There are a lot of programming languages at the moment, each of which examines the art of software development from a new angle, solving a particular problem

This guide is beneficial for users – who want to know about fundamental of programming languages in order to build an effective and efficient program and for advanced users – who are finding it difficult to build a program despite having a prior experience or knowledge in this field.

This course will help you to learn:
 
- String Patterns (Finding and specifying classes of strings using regular expressions)
- Lexical Analysis (Breaking strings down into important words)
- Grammars (Specifying and deconstructing valid sentences)
- Parsing (Turning sentences into trees)
- Interpreting (Simulating programs)
- Building a Web Browser (Interpreting HTML and JavaScript)
- Wrap-up (Exam testing your knowledge)
