| "Byte-Sized-Chunks: Dynamic Prototypes in Javascript" |
| "Note: This course is a subset of our much longer course 'Learn By Example: HTML, CSS and Javascript' so please don't sign up for both:-)Javascript objects, prototypes and JSON - that's what this course is about.This is not a course on Javascript frameworks - its about solid, fundamental Javascript. You'll be surprised by how much more you can get done on your web pages once you learn these technologies the right way.What do we mean by that?Relatively few folks formally learn HTML, CSS or Javascript, because its quite easy to get stuff done in these technologies in a ""quick-and-dirty way"".That ""quick-and-dirty"" way of learning and doing leads to problems over time, because Javascript and CSS are actually quite complex, so it is easy to do things the wrong wayThis course will help, because it is entirely built atop examples. Each is self-contained, has its source code attached, and gets across a simple, specific use-case. Each example is simple, but not simplistic.What's Included:Prototypes are Javascript's way of doing inheritance, and its very different from the C++/Java way of doing it.JSON is not conceptually difficult to use, but it is incredibly important, and you should understand why - because its the glue between backends written in Java or other traditional languages, and front-ends written in JavascriptThe Document-Object-Model is what ties Javascript back to HTML and CSS. Together with JSON, the DOM ties it all together from server to skin."

| "Byte-Sized-Chunks: Operator Overloading in C++" |
| "Note: This course is a subset of our much longer course 'Learn By Example: C++ With 75 Solved Examples' so please don't sign up for both:-)Like a gruff uncle, C++ seems intimidating, when its just being helpful. These examples will help you understand that.Let's parse that.C++ seems intimidating because all too often, what you see is not what you get.Usually, that's because C++ is trying to help you, but you don't realise that. C++ is incredibly deep, and it sometimes struggles to get you - the programmer - to understand what it's sayingThese examples will help. Each is self-contained, has its source code attached, and gets across a specific C++ use-case. Each example is simple, but not simplistic.Operator overloading is a particularly complicated topic - C++ is virtually alone in the ubiquity of overloaded operators. Make sure this doesn't trip you up.What is operator overloading? Understand internal operators, defined as member functions of a class vs external operators defined as global functions. External operators are commonly friend functions of the class on which they operate.Internal or External? When would you choose to have an internal operator implementation vs an external operator implementation? Sometimes you don't have a choice!The += operatorThe assignment operatorPre- and Post-IncrementStreams and the >> and << operators"

This course gets the details right where they are important.'zoom out':Details are important, but not always. This course knows when to switch to the big picture.What's Covered:Equity Valuation Introduced: intrinsic value, price, valuation and market capitalisation.Absolute ValuationTechniques focus on getting a point estimate of a company's intrinsic value. This is invariably done by discounting a series of cash flows projected into the future.Net Present Value and Discounting Cash Flows:NPV is a crucial concept in finance - and in life. Understand what the present value of an asset is, how it relates to the rate of return on the asset, and how risky cash flow streams are handled.CAPM, Weighted Average Cost of Capital and Required Equity Return:These are key concepts required in valuing the risky stream of cash flows that represent a company's value.Dividend Discount Models:A family of absolute value models that discount the dividends from a stock. Despite their seeming simplicity, there is some real wisdom embedded into these models. Understand them.Free Cash Flow Valuation:FCF valuation is a serious valuation tool.

| "These 65 examples will make this cool-new-kid-on-the-block your steady, reliable friendLet's parse that.Scala is coolbecause its all the rage for big data applications, and because it manages to be more sophisticated and elegant than Java.That said, Java is a steady, reliable friend - a language you can depend upon, and in which you can express yourself.These 65 examples will help you trust Scala the way you trust Java. Each is self-contained, has its source code attached, and gets across a specific Scalause-case.Each example is simple, but not simplistic.What's Included:The Big Ideas:Before we get to the how, we better understand the why - this course will help clarify why we even need Scala whenJava serves us so wellThe Little Details That Matter: Pattern Matching, If Expressions, For Loops & Yield:Java has if-statements, while Scala has if-expressions. Differences like these matter, this course will cover them.First Class Functionsare perhaps the most dramatically new feature of Scala - the foundation of functional programming support.Collections - Lists, Options, the Details of fold/reduce/shiftin Scala are yet another bit of the language that differs significantly from other traditional object-oriented languages. We will spend a lot of time on these topics too.Classes, Companion Objects, Traits, Self Types and Dependency Injectionare Scala's way of providing Object Oriented support. Some of these concepts are similar to Java - those we will skim over. Othersare quite different - we will be sure to cover these in detail."
