Da, profesorul nu trebuie numai sa transfere cunostinte, informatii, plictisit de la catedra.. Un profesor bun trebuie sa fie INSPIRATIONAL!! Sa transfere energia, bucuria, importanta, greutatea, dificultatea celor studiate si predate! Profesorul David J. Malan este bun de tot, un adevarat campion olimpic al CS50 - asa-i la Harvard!

    Last time I was this engaged was during the Gargantua detach scene in Interstellar.
    So many aha moments while watching this.
    Thanks Professor Malan ❤️

      Great movie, however Interstellar really shook me up, concepts I had never imagined were shown. The scene when Matthew M was trapped inside of those cubes with the robot trying to contact his daughter through the book shelf from another dimension omg. Also the ocean scene with the huge waves 😳 and how time was relative. One day I’ll rewatch to see if I have a different perspective.

    @Professor Malan, David, I was motivated to tears by your class. I wish I had come across your class long ago, as I can see now that al my other attempts at learning code were just with the wrong instructors. I'll do everything I can to get the best out of this amazing class, I'm starting late, just a week ago, I got my husband to check your class out, as well, he enrolled too! I hope we can keep up with the difficulty level, we are over 40! with long careers in other fields, we are each developing our own Scratch project and having a lot of fun! THANK YOU!

    Great lecture, Professor Malan! You gave the most comprehensive break-down of ASCII, Unicode & RGB as they apply to text, or just keyboard inputs. So easy to grasp, that I questioned its place in Ivy League curriculum. (Guess our degrees are just branded ;) Having already known about the basics of binary and bits, I was surprised to learn about "unary!"
    P.S. The video's intro was great, and I think I see wordplay in the title too.
