The class began with T/TH: 10AM – 11AM Online via Zoom (a web service that allows you to connect with instructors in various locations across the country). This course provides students with an overview of how to build web servers using this highly interactive and versatile language. The course includes an overview of the structure of servers, a brief introduction to how web servers interact with web browsers, and how clients communicate with servers.
The course then moved onto Programming Essentials, which taught students how to use some of the most common tools used in the programming field. In addition to an introduction to basic computer programming languages, the course introduced students to the concepts behind data types, conditional statements and loops. The next part of the class taught students how to create and design simple web pages using the language’s built in functions and structures.
The next module in the class was Programming Design which taught students how to design programming programs using the Sed programming language. Students learned how to use multiple programming languages together to create more complex programs. Students then learned how to create web applications that used different programming languages together. Throughout the course, students learned about the importance of documenting and debugging various programs.
The final module in the class was called Programming in the Unix Environment (POSIX) and taught students how to build UNIX based systems. Students learned about Linux, UNIX, BSD, OS X and other UNIX based operating systems and platforms. The class then covered how to use a Unix server to host a website using web services and how to manage such servers. The class also offered students a brief overview of web servers as well as how to use Linux utilities to help maintain and operate these websites.
After the class, I sat down with my Sed tutor and he discussed my experience at the class with me and gave me an outline of my assignment. He told me that although the course had a few gaps, I would get the hang of the basics of Sed programming in one or two weeks.
So far, I am having a lot of success with my Sed assignment. I’m currently working on a C programming class that I’ll be taking next semester. With just a few minor corrections and additions to the material in my class, I’m confident I will be able to finish both programs. I plan to use Sed in many different environments in the future so I will want to make sure to take a good amount of time with each of my assignments.
Overall, the course was a great learning experience. I really enjoyed it and learned a lot from my instructor and classmates. I recommend this language to anyone interested in programming in the Unix environment!
Some of my favorites topics covered in the class were: POSIX, Web servers, scripting languages, C programming and debugging. These topics are subjects that I have been studying and researching for quite some time. While I did not learn everything I was trying to, the concepts I did learn were very useful in my job today.
I also enjoyed learning about the different scripting languages such as Perl, Python and Ruby. All of the courses in the class are geared toward beginners, but some intermediate and advanced users can also find a lot to interest them as well.
My Sed tutor also provided me with a CD that covers the subjects covered in his course in much more detail. than I found on my own. This way.
SED Web Programming by David G. Smith is an excellent course for beginners to intermediate and advanced web developers, teaching them how to build simple and powerful websites using Sed, a powerful programming language.
