This specialization develops strong programming fundamentals for learners who want to solve complex problems by writing computer programs. Through four courses, you will learn to develop algorithms in a systematic way and read and write the C code to implement them. This will prepare you to pursue a career in software development or other computational fields.
Successful completion of this Specialization will be considered by admissions as a demonstration of your skill and enhance your master’s application to Duke’s Pratt School of Engineering.

Como o Programa de cursos integrados funciona
Fazer cursos
Um programa de cursos integrados do Coursera é uma série de cursos para ajudá-lo a dominar uma habilidade. Primeiramente, inscreva-se no programa de cursos integrados diretamente, ou avalie a lista de cursos e escolha por qual você gostaria de começar. Ao se inscrever em um curso que faz parte de um programa de cursos integrados, você é automaticamente inscrito em todo o programa de cursos integrados. É possível concluir apenas um curso — você pode pausar a sua aprendizagem ou cancelar a sua assinatura a qualquer momento. Visite o seu painel de aprendiz para controlar suas inscrições em cursos e progresso.
Projeto prático
Todos os programas de cursos integrados incluem um projeto prático. Você precisará completar com êxito o(s) projeto(s) para concluir o programa de cursos integrados e obter o seu certificado. Se o programa de cursos integrados incluir um curso separado para o projeto prático, você precisará completar todos os outros cursos antes de iniciá-lo.
Obtenha um certificado
Ao concluir todos os cursos e completar o projeto prático, você obterá um certificado que pode ser compartilhado com potenciais empregadores e com sua rede profissional.
Este Programa de cursos integrados contém 4 cursos
Curso1
Programming Fundamentals
4.7
811 classificações
Programming is an increasingly important skill, whether you aspire to a career in software development, or in other fields. This course is the first in the specialization Introduction to Programming in C, but its lessons extend to any language you might want to learn. This is because programming is fundamentally about figuring out how to solve a class of problems and writing the algorithm, a clear set of steps to solve any problem in its class. This course will introduce you to a powerful problem-solving process—the Seven Steps—which you can use to solve any programming problem. In this course, you will learn how to develop an algorithm, then progress to reading code and understanding how programming concepts relate to algorithms.
Curso2
Writing, Running, and Fixing Code in C
4.6
167 classificações
Building on the course Programming Fundamentals, this course will teach you how to write code by first planning what your program should do—an important approach for novice and professional programmers. You will learn how to compile and run your program, and then how to test and debug it. This course builds on the Seven Steps you have already learned and provides a framework for systematically testing for problems and fixing them, so you can find and fix problems efficiently.
Curso3
Pointers, Arrays, and Recursion
4.5
89 classificações
The third course in the specialization Introduction to Programming in C introduces the programming constructs pointers, arrays, and recursion. Pointers provide control and flexibility when programming in C by giving you a way to refer to the location of other data. Arrays provide a way to bundle data by guaranteeing sequences of data are grouped together. Finally, recursive functions—functions that call themselves—provide an alternative to iteration that are very useful for implementing certain algorithms.
Curso4
Interacting with the System and Managing Memory
4.4
39 classificações
The final course in the specialization Introduction to Programming in C will teach you powerful new programming techniques for interacting with the user and the system and dynamically allocating memory. You will learn more sophisticated uses for pointers, such as strings and multidimensional arrays, as well as how to write programs that read and write files and take input from the user. Learning about dynamic memory allocation will allow your programs to perform complex tasks that will be applied in the final part of the specialization project: a Monte Carlo simulation for calculating poker hand probabilities.

Perguntas Frequentes – FAQ
Qual é a política de reembolso?
Posso me inscrever em um único curso?
Sim! Para começar, clique na carta de curso que lhe interessa e se inscreva. Você pode se inscrever e concluir o curso para ganhar um certificado compartilhável ou você pode auditar para ver os materiais do curso de graça. Quando você se inscrever em um curso que faz parte de uma especialização, você está automaticamente inscrito para a especialização completa. Visite o seu painel de aluno para acompanhar o seu progresso.
Existe algum auxílio financeiro disponível?
Posso fazer o curso gratuitamente?
Este curso é realmente 100% on-line? Eu preciso assistir alguma aula pessoalmente?
Este curso é totalmente on-line, então não existe necessidade de aparecer em uma sala de aula pessoalmente. Você pode acessar suas palestras, leituras e atribuições a qualquer hora e qualquer lugar, via web ou dispositivo móvel.
Quanto tempo é necessário para concluir a Especialização?
Each course is designed to take 4 weeks of study, with 6–8 hours per week. Some learners may work through the specialization more or less quickly.
What background knowledge is necessary?
This specialization is for learners who have an interest in learning how to program, for people with no programming experience or for people with some experience who would like to gain solid fundamentals and a deeper understanding of how to program effectively.
Do I need to take the courses in a specific order?
If you are new to programming, you should take the courses in order. Otherwise, you could start with Course 2 or Course 3, depending on your previous experience. Intermediate programmers new to C may like to start with Course 1 to learn the basics of syntax (and review algorithm design relevant to all languages).
Vou ganhar créditos universitários por concluir a Especialização?
Successfully completing the Specialization confers a Coursera Certificate with the instructors' signatures. This is different from Duke University course credit.
What will I be able to do upon completing the Specialization?
You will be able to approach a programming problem systematically, from designing an algorithm, to implementing it in code, to thoroughly testing your code. You will have a strong foundation in programming principles and be able to use C syntax fluently. Your final project will prove you can write a sophisticated program of intermediate scale—a Monte Carlo simulation to calculate poker hand probabilities.
Are there any additional benefits to completing this Specialization?
Successful completion of this Specialization will be considered by admissions as a demonstration of your skill and enhance your master’s application to Duke’s Pratt School of Engineering.
