Getting Started with GameMaker
This course is all about starting to learn how to develop video games using GameMaker on Windows or Mac. Why use GameMaker instead of using C# and Unity or C++ and Unreal*? Learning to develop games with GameMaker is much easier than learning to program in C# or C++ AND learning Unity or Unreal. If you just want to start learning how to develop games in a more "gentle" way, this is a great starting point. This course doesn't assume you have any game development experience. Don't worry if you've never developed games before; we'll start at the very beginning and start building your game development skills from scratch. Throughout the course you'll develop core GameMaker skills to help you develop games. Module 1: Learn about sprites and sprite strips Module 2: Learn how to implement functionality using events, actions, and code Module 3: Learn how to add sound effects and implement NPC movement Module 4: Learn how to add randomness to your games * I do have Coursera Specializations called C# Programming for Unity Game Development and C++ Programming for Unreal Game Development for those more advanced topics.

Inventory Analytics
Inventory analytics is the corner stone of supply chain analytics. A company in trade industries may have 30-50% of their assets tied up in inventory. An effective inventory management can improve revenue by increasing product variety and availability, and reduce cost and speed up cash cycle by reducing excessive inventory and waste. Through real-life examples (e.g., Macy’s vs. Ross Stores), you will learn hands-on tools and skills to discover and solve inventory problems by data analytics. Upon completion, you can answer the following questions: 1. For which industries is inventory important and relevant? 2. How may inventory drive a company’s financial performance? 3. How do I know that I have an inventory problem? 4. How to classify inventory and manage it accordingly? Note: This course is for beginners and practitioners, and so it provides practical data-driven analytics for business inventory management, including inventory metrics, inventory problem diagnosis, the financial impact of inventory, and practical techniques of inventory management, rather than the mathematical models of inventory control that you can find in many other courses.
