    Lecture by Professor Mehran Sahami for the Stanford Computer Science Department (CS106A). In the first lecture of the quarter, Professor Sahami provides an overview of the course and begins discussing computer programing.
    CS106A is an Introduction to the engineering of computer applications emphasizing modern software engineering principles: object-oriented design, decomposition, encapsulation, abstraction, and testing. Uses the Java programming language. Emphasis is on good programming style and the built-in facilities of the Java language.

    I owe where I am in life to these lectures. I watched all 3 classes from Stanford (Methodology, Abstractions and Paradigms). It was an AMAZING series. I then got a college internship with Intel, and am now part of a funded startup writing code. Thank you Stanford, I love you guys!

    OMG, I remember watching these videos back in 2009-2010. I didn't even understand English that well, and I didn't have good internet connection. I remember I've downloaded every lecture and save it on DVDs to watch and learn. I ended up not practicing, just watching the lectures, but it was great!
    This professor threw candies at students whenever they asked. There was this time where he asked something and a lot of people gave the right answer, so he showered them with candies lol. There was also this lecture where a bunch of male students, probably from the college sports team, invaded the lecture and run around making noises and stuff, and the professor just waited until they were finished with their tradition and then continue the lecture as if nothing had happened hahaha. At the very end of the course some students delivered incredible projects, one making a functional version of the game Zelda. Amazing!
    So great, this brings back so much memories. At the time I was finishing high school and I was thinking about getting into computer science. I diverged a little bit and went to study chemistry and material science. But I often return to programming. I find it fascinating :)

    • @testuser1337
      @testuser1337 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Well, if your teacher is crap, then students will dread to participate and will connect the subject with this negative sensation. so this would implicate, that the teacher is absolutely integral to keep up the desire to learn and thus will directly influence the performance of 95% of the students. A teacher should be an entertainer first, wrapping knowledge around problems to solve and not just a god damn database.
      If we just needed databases to teach skillsets, schools and universities would just be a table and a bookshelf. And to be honest. Most Schools have such a high percentage of completely incompetent teachers, that they are essentially, just that.
      But the top 5% will still prevail, because they have the drive to suck it up. But that is not a system that will get us anywhere near the education which is needed to survive in the 21st century economy.

    I love Robert Sapolsky's classes at Stanford (available on their TH-cam channel as well). I started watching this video just out of curiosity without expecting to finish it due to it's introductory nature, but Prof. Mehran just managed to capture my full attention just by presenting the course's guidelines in such a charismatic and upbeat manner, which makes me wish all my professors had been that way. I've studied in two different countries and I've come across a some brilliant educators, a few. Stanford seems like an extraordinary place to study judging by its faculty and it's an absolutely noble deed the fact they share knowledge with everyone via this medium. Chapeau bas, Stanford!

    This is proof that there are no uninteresting subjects, there are only uninterested people who were sadly introduced to the topic by a non-Mehran.

    This guy is creme. He devides the 'institutionalized' defined in his intro and gradually redefines individual free will within the individuality of each. Gradually he communicates with the self to assess ambition as opposed to motivation. A self-accessment of the pupils gradually surfaces in each of the observing pupils. Great teacher. Nice system. I like it.

      It's helping a lot. I've watched up to lecture 16. So far I've built a version of Breakout - gist.github.com/kenechilearnscode/4c205eeb9889b9e188bb and most recently I'm working on Hangman - gist.github.com/kenechilearnscode/8a3d9091e93e43fde405 - feel free to copy the code and paste into your IDE if you want to run them. Most importantly, I think this course is giving me a good understanding of programming philosophies and principles, something that I think other online courses are lacking. I'd definitely recommend it. The only caveat is that there are a lot of lectures and it takes time but I think it's worth it. I mean, this is Stanford we're talking about!

    For everybody looking for the actual edition of the main text book used in this course there is a "tor" for it over on the bay. I will not provide a link to it as I do not want to subject myself to legal countermeasures by the greedy publishing company. Downloading the book is considered a copyright violation but just like the professor said "There is nothing quite like the extortion that is text books." I happen to agree which is why I'm posting this comment.

      Don't be a smartass~~ you obviously know even if you watch the entire video series, you still wouldn't get any credits, not to mention a bachelor degree from Stanford University......the closest thing you may get is a sort of proof issued from MOOC websites such as EdX, which is similar to actual credits but not necessarily so depended on the organization you handed the proof to. And yes, even at a minimum amount of $39 to about $50, you still have to "pay" for the MOOC proof on courses you completed.

  • @1995FIRSTskybits
    @1995FIRSTskybits 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    In programming classes one very important thing we learned is to check each others code when you get errors. Many times you will miss a semi-colon, or period, etc. The instructor told us that is what teamwork is all about in the real world. Our grades and open book tests were about understanding what the code meant and how to use it to make the program work without errors, and also we learned how to create error msgs properly.
