Announcing Two New Courses   The theme of this week's course drop is speed. Whether you're developing new programs or analyzing data, the two new courses we're releasing today will accelerate the tedious yet essential tasks needed to complete your work.   1. Bash Scripting Technology is most useful when it mechanizes a repetitive process, and that is exactly the spirit of a bash script: a re-usable script that automatically executes a series of commands to speed up your programming workflow. In this new course, you will learn how to improve your own programming process by writing bash scripts that save you precious time.   2. Practical Data Cleaning Working on a data project? Similar to many Data Scientists, you might find this situation to be familiar: you spend 80% of your time cleaning data and only 20% of your time doing the analysis. Learn how to flip this ratio of work by utilizing common techniques for quickly getting your data ready to analyze. Along the way, you'll learn the basics of RegEx, a fun and powerful tool to find patterns in strings.   Bonus C++ Lessons: Conditionals and Logic We're continuing to roll out our C++ course this week with new lessons on how to use control flow statements. This will help you create programs that change the computer's execution path depending on conditions specified by statements such as if, else, and switch. To complement these new lessons, we're releasing three new projects that will put your C++ skills to the test. The Magic 8-Ball Harry Potter Sorting Hat Quiz Rock Paper Scissors Lizard Spock Ready to dive back into C++? Time is of the essence! Watch out for even more C++ lessons next week.   Bonus Livestream: Build Your First JavaScript Game Take your first steps towards building a functional game in your browser using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and the new HTML element Canvas. Together, we'll build a game from scratch that you can then expand on your own. No prior JavaScript experience is necessary to participate. Tune in on Thursday at 1:30pm EST!   Happy coding, Codecademy
