The highlights of this Learning Path are: Make your applications intelligent using artificial intelligence in your day-to-day apps and become a smart developer Learn how to implement artificial intelligence in your games and puzzles Let's take a quick look at your learning journey. This Learning Path starts off by explaining artificial intelligence in brief. You will then learn basic search methods such as DFS (Depth First Search), BFS (Breadth First Search), and A* search to make intelligent decisions when the initial state, end state, and possible actions are known. You will also understand how to formulate a problem, which involves looking at it and identifying its initial state, goal state, and the actions that are possible in each state. Next, you will explore data structures involved while implementing these search algorithms which form the basis for search exploration. You will then learn what is heuristic search and how it decides the quality of one sub solution over the other to help you decide which steps are to be taken. Going ahead, this Learning Path teaches you to design games. You will understand how to design the various stages of the evolutionary algorithm that will control performance. You will then implement these various stages of an algorithm in a sample Tic-Tac-Toe game. Next, you will learn to apply various algorithm concepts in the sample game. Finally, you will be glanced through a trip planning application wherein you will see how the application is solved through evolutionary algorithms.

| "Performing Complex State Management with Redux" |
| "Redux is a predictable state container for JavaScript apps which helps you write applications that behave consistently, run in different environments (client, server, and native), and are easy to test. It also provides you with a great developer experience, such as live code editing combined with a time-traveling debugger. Redux can be used together with any view library, not just React! Managing state in an application is critical to developers and is often done unsystematically. Redux provides a solution which will help your applications behave consistently. It is an evolution, helping you avoid the complexity found in Flux on how applications are built with the Elm language.This course starts off with a practical introduction to Redux and how it fits into the JavaScript ecosystem. Moving ahead you will understand how to use Redux with your application and work with ES6/7, Reducers, firing actions, Thunks and Selectors. You will learn the rules of working with Redux and advanced concepts to configure your application. We will spend the last half of the course applying the Redux concepts we have learned to a real-world application - a messaging board similar to Reddit that is written in React. By taking this completed example application you witness how Redux can dramatically simplify the development of your application.By the end of this tutorial, you will be able to apply all the concepts used here to a real project and you will know exactly why you should use Redux for building larger applications.About the AuthorColibri is a technology consultancy company founded in 2015 by James Cross and Ingrid Funie.

| "Fundamental Algorithms in Scala" |
| "Scala's functional programming features are a boon to help you design easy to reason about systems to control growing software complexities.In this course, you will look at some classic simple algorithms. Most algorithms are traditionally defined in an imperative manner, typically consisting of repetitions in the form of conditional looping and altering states. Writing these in a functional manner is not always a trivial process. Moving ahead, you will learn to implement these elementary algorithms using a combination of functional concepts instead of the traditional imperative approach. After covering the important functional concepts in Scala you will move on to the decimal to binary conversion and generate sequences algorithms. Further, we will look at implementing a series of algorithms such as generating prime numbers, divide and conquer, greedy algorithms, and functional infix to postfix conversion.By the end of this course, you will be well versed in the functional concepts of Scala and would have implemented all of these.About the Author :James Cutajar is a software developer with interests in scalable high performance computing and distributed algorithms.
