Programming Styles

You are a good programmer. You are fluent in multiple programming languages. But can you program in style?

An amazing course, really fun.

Can I just write best course ever? It makes students do gymnastics for a chosen programming language: this course is the best way a student can boost their experience and knowledge about their preferred language.

It very effectively boosts a student knowledge in programming languages.

– Good stuff from course evaluations

This course is a journey through the landscape of programming languages and idioms. You will discover a multitude of dramatically different programming styles. A style arises from a set of constraints you impose on your code. Styles are independent of a given programming language. You can use many different programming languages to write code in a given style.

In this course you won’t just hear about and discuss various styles. You will practice those styles. You will look at programming as an art, and like a budding artist—be it a painter, a writer, or a musician—you will practice producing works in multiple artistic styles.
