In this course, students will learn about the basics of protocols, understand how core protocols create the internet as we know it, and develop a high-level conception of the Internet Computer Protocol. Using this knowledge, students will implement their own version of DNS and a basic banking application on the Internet Computer. Module 1 serves…
In this course, students will learn about the foundational elements of programming languages as well as the design principles behind Motoko and the Internet Computer, ultimately using these ideas to build their own simple stack machine. Module 1 serves as an intro to this unit, providing historical context for programming language design and how this relates to Motoko. Module 2 introduces the idea of a stack machine that can sequentially process instructions, and Modules 3 and 4 build upon this implementation to extend the functionality of the stack machine with type enforcement and branching.
