Programming for I18n and L10n

Almost everyone who will take this course has already learned at least one foreign language, and learning a programming language is actually much easier because the syntax is much more simple than any spoken language. Students will become proficient with HTML and CSS, two fundamental web technologies before moving on to JavaScript, the magic sauce that makes the web interactive. Students will learn how to internationalize and localize JavaScript apps and games, as well as how to create JavaScript applications from scratch. From there, students will move onto Python, which is a programming language we can use to automate such tasks as reading and writing to/from files, searching, data mining, find and replace, and more. We’ll also take a look at Ren'Py, the visual novel engine written in Python. This course will have something for everyone, from project managers, translators, to future localization engineers.
