This course will introduce you to the mBot, the world's friendliest educational robotics platform. The mBot is an Arduino-based, two-wheel robot that comes with built-in sensors and actuators, and that you can program using the graphical programming language, Scratch. You'll learn how to assemble the mBot, discuss the additional hardware options, and discover how to program it on your tablet or computer. Access 39 lectures & 5 hours of content 24/7 Assemble an mBot Program the mBot to follow an arbitrary black line on the floor Combine robot's sensors & actuators efficiently

This Arduino project course is designed as an opportunity for you to get deep into the messy details of understanding, designing, and constructing a simple yet infinitely extensible wheeled robot. From figuring out what the robot is supposed to do, to selecting the right parts, configuring them, assembling and testing them, all the way to producing a refined outcome, this project emphasizes the iterative process of problem-solving. Access 57 lectures & 8 hours of content 24/7 Create an Arduino wheeled robot that can navigate towards a light source & avoid obstacles along the way Integrate simple mechanical parts w/ motors, batteries, sensors, & other electronics Gain experience in analyzing problems & designing solutions

The Arduino Uno is exceptional, but eventually you will learn that it is not enough for more advanced projects. However, there are more powerful alternatives to Uno, and in this course you'll be introduced to some of the best currently available advanced Arduino boards. You'll discuss what is special about each one, how you can use them in your projects, and what to look out for when you migrate from the Arduino Uno. Access 72 lectures & 9.5 hours of content 24/7 Learn about advanced debugging & editing tools, cloud-based automation, & Arduino-PC collaboration Cover Arduino Mega 2560, Arduino Due, Arduino 101, Arduino Zero, & Arduino Galileo Gen 2 Discuss Atmego Studio, Atmega Atmel-ICE, Temboo, & Processing

Have you ever wanted to understand and create aesthetic designs for the web? In this Deep Dive we will learn what design is and how to harness its power. Breakdown the components that conjure the perfect aesthetic. Also create and fix a design of your own.

Ruby on Rails makes it easy to work with templates and CSS Frameworks. In this course, we'll learn all about layouts and templating in Ruby on Rails and how to work with Zurb Foundation in a Rails application.

Ruby on Rails has a number of features to help split up your templates in to more manageable chunks. In this course we'll learn how to use two of those features: partials and helpers.

In this course you will gain all the knowledge you will need to build an interactive command line program in Java. No prior programming experience is required. You will create an interactive game that prompts users for different parts of a sentence and then generates a story using those words.

Annotations have rapidly become the preferred approach to integrating powerful third-party libraries into your own Java applications. In this course, we'll first explore the basic use of annotations to give the compiler instructions. Then, we'll use more advanced techniques to create our own annotation and look for it using reflection.

Spring (http://spring.io) provides a plethora of widely-used development tools for Java programmers, one of which is a library for creating interactive web applications. In this course we'll begin to leverage the power of the Spring Framework to configure and write a fully-functioning Java web application.

In this course, we're going to set up a simple blogging app with just a handful of Rails commands. Then, we'll dive into what we've created and help you really understand what's going on. We'll show you how to work with models, views, and controllers to quickly add new features to your app. By the end of this course, you'll be ready to create basic web apps in Rails.
