“Don’t feel inadequate when you’re simply inexperienced” wow
Thanks for highlighting that!
It's true in all areas of life.
Good programmers copy/revise... great programmers steal.... ;-)
I wish more professors would use that quote today.
Great Professor, tough crowd.
Bruce Wayne MIT crowd for ya
+Bruce Wayne Put them in gotham prison or something.
+Bruce Wayne Millennials are this way. Not much for interaction and i dont mean that as a slight. They are used to talking via data/devices so human interaction is not this generations strength. I really enjoyed the class and not a seasoned developer but do work in Dev/Prod Tier 2-3 so I found it refreshing and interesting.
Yes you can, the professor even claimed they were too quiet. He needed to shout twice to get a warm welcome and not just that but he exclaimed they were a tough crowd in his talk too. Stop blaming the mic for the lack of sense of humor or enthusiasm these kids have.
I wont shot the cerebrally unarmed.
"We don't want you to feel inadequate when you're simply inexperienced." Thank you sir!
3 credit hours at $750 per credit hour posted for free on youtube, Thanks MIT. i'll be eyeing you for grad school.
I've learned more through google youtube and reddit than ill ever learn in school. Thing is though, i cant put google youtube and reddit on my resume.
I like that viewpoint a lot. I'm getting help from my family for my college education, but ill be damned if I didn't study many topics way outside my major.
+Geoff Dick I'm sort of in agreement with this guy.
i stopped reading after you said "300,000" for school lmao the avg course is 10k a year including housing, even if you triple that cost an 8 year doctor degree is only $240,000 which an 8 year medical degree is going to pay a hell of a lot more than 65k

@DZhaer yeah
I thought more people would have left more negative comments, but then I realized the only people that probably clicked on this video actually cared about what this guy was going to say. Great video!
No doubt that's up there with most insightful comment I've ever seen on TH-cam about anyting because it's true. Thank you for your comment I appreciate you
This dude is an absolute legend. Spitting wisdom and working the class like a bad crowd on an open mic night and the 872 thumbs down are from unemployed Harvard students.
back then we knew.
@@TFT-bp8zk according to the return dislike extension it still only has 890 dislikes
im think it should be accurate for an old video like this
It's probably all of the buzzfeed writers who thought they'd learn to code.
Unemployed Harvard students do not exist.
There ARE no bad thumbs
We dont want over qualified students to intimidate others....... wow thats the best and honest thing I ever heard from a professor. No wonder MIT is a top institution. The level of deliverance of education is way too perfect.
Kip Thorne says similar at the beginning of his Gravitational Waves class. It’s not unusual.
@@MistressGlowWorm it is ...for any South Asian
Growing up teachers always went at the pace of the “top” students which create such an unpleasant environment especially when wanting to ask questions. It’s great that he acknowledges the differences I’m having a suitable environment
Wow, MIT professors are much more engaging than my local state college...
Spencer Grau well, considering their monthly pay is most likely the annual pay of your state college profs...
How did college go
lol, seriously. How'd it go ?
Jeremy Edwards it does

Want to skip the admin stuff" go to 16:12
Thank you
Thank You
Thank You
this should be pinned at the top
Thank You :) you saved my 16 mins! you are doing a lot to humanity!
Advice to all beginner programmers: computer science is not that hard, it just takes time and effort!
+Ashè tell me then what is hard to learn compared to computer science?
Are you currently studying computer science?
+Ashè no it is while back .. but for me
where do u work after
+Fortyfoteen well don't totally agree ..The same can be said for physics or mathematics. though it is generally known that this is not for everyone. I agree on that if you really want to learn you have to put more effort in it. reality Is that not everyone will succeed in it. You also need some feeling with it. What I am trying to say ..computer science is not equal to tying your laces.
Real lecture starts around 16:00
Anyone else also watching it in Quarantine?
thank you so much
Yup and ty

@@VasistaP-rw4kf Hey Aegon. This course is good place but recently I find out the CS50 course given by Harvard University.
You can even attend the lecture live on zoom,do assignments,interact with other people and plus it's upto date.
Search for CS50 on youtube and you would be good to go.
Whenever I come on TH-cam and watch these MIT OCW videos, I am always reminded of what education is supposed to be like, of how bad the educational system in Nigeria is. To Professors Grimson and Guttang, keep up the good work, you are an inspiration, it is because of people like you that I want to go into academia, and I have hope that our system in Nigeria can change for the better
+sai charan No other languages are needed for 6.00. This subject is aimed at students with little or no programming experience.
+MIT OpenCourseWare hii iam a mechanical engineer from INDIA but i now want to learn computer science so that i can develop my own apps .. i dont want to just code i also wanted to learn the logic and process behind it .. can you tell what sould i learn in steps inorder to learn computer science
+MIT OpenCourseWare Thank you very much for this knowledge.
im 10 and i know all this i program allot
Good for you! Just incase you have no direction I would recommend learning c++ since it's the language you can do the most with. After that learn sub uses for it like lua and opengl. Hope to see you working with me some day.
thanks a lot man
This is a privilege to a student from Africa, you really helped, thank you.
I'm a CS student in a sh*tty university and I was terrified and confused my entire academic experience. This prof reassured me before he started teaching. I guess there's a reason why MIT is the best.
@@kalvenzander4710 ‘collage can be a scam’……the painful irony in that statement, lmao
Good teachers understand the neuroscience of learning
@@kalvenzander4710 the person who can’t spell is saying college is a scam. Trying to learn by cutting corners is a scam
I feel so bad that no one laughed at his jokes... while I'm over here waking up everyone in my house.
Csci majors = non-social students
I bet that they (the student) were more afraid than excited.
ImDjMp3 MIT just has super anti social comp sci people then :P
In berkeley's videos, even the students laugh at the professor's jokes.
Maybe they did laugh at his jokes, but it's likely the one lapel mic he's wearing wouldn't pick that up. Normally when recording a performance and you want to capture audience response you would have a separate microphone, which isn't really relevant here.
Alex Páramo seems like ur easily manipulated best watch them emotions
16:12 Actually course starts here. Enjoy!
I'm a graduate from MIT and trust me this university will not fail you.
Skip ahead to +16:45 if you just want him to start the class
+Hey its Frankenmint omg thanks ! :)
thanks
thanks
i appreciate that!
Thanks
thanks
Thank you for giving Africa a feel of also being in MIT
its funny you say that because guess who taught whites to bathe?
Dustin Mcphetridge Throughout most of human history, Europeans stood in splendid isolation as being the only people to never bathe at least once in their lives. What's happening now, in Africa, is the result of European colonization.
Shoto Todoriki you need to do some research my brother
@@cleanestbestpleasure14 you're an ass
Punished Soleimani i’m just saying man, europe was dying of preventable disease til moors told them to pick up a bar of soap. OP probably didn’t know that so I had to do it to em with the irony. that had nothing to do with either conquests
Really tough crowd.
I don't think they know how lucky they are to find professors teaching with such zest and compassion.
i agree. the crowd is super disappointing. i find myself chuckling when the professor cracks jokes. wish i was there instead, may not be qualified but i would definitely appreciate him a lot.
Great beginning. I'm a random dude trying to understand how to program in Java. I figured, maybe i need to look at beginning computer science stuff as alot of programming makes no sense. Now I know this course is in Python. But....Just listening to the beginning lecture put a few things in perspective which I was like Ah-ha. TY for posting this video. Makes sense on how I need to re-evaluate my learning besides YT videos who don't offer more insight. Thanks again for making this public.
Learn C# on Microsoft. COM ... free courseware everywhere and they even have Free Virtuals to work the Project / Problems to try it for free. No need other than enough Ram to run a Browser ( I think ) ... I used to download content to a Video viewer , but that is no longer needed with Tablets etc. So easy to move it with you.
Not even started with the material but already I want to come more and more to the course. Thats how you create an environment where everyone is comfortable.
Good job done! May God bless all these well respected professors for taking the valuable time to share knowledge free of charge. God bless you.
Never thought i could take an MIT course. I love this so much.
Holy hell I wish all my teachers were like this. No wonder schools like MIT charge an arm and a leg.
Thank you for making these videos available, MIT! :D
He’s alright. Nothing amazing. You must attend a really shitty school.
Do they have whiteboards yet?
Wow, what a great professor! Hats off to you, sir and thank you MIT for sharing such a high quality content.
I spent nearly 6 years part time majoring in Computer Science at my local community college from Fall 2003 until Fall 2008. I was 18 years old when I started, 23 years old at graduation. Associates Degree in Computer Science will get you inside the industry, as long as you can program applications.
I got a 2 year degree in electronics in 1982 and have been employed full time for 39 years, have 2 paid off houses and close to 1 million in my 401k and will also get a pension for working for the government the last 15 years. 4 year degrees are overrated.
what are you doing now sir?
@@mmaranta785 have you done everything you wanted to do in life
@@franko6887 I want to travel more when I retire
i have an associates degree not in computer science where your classes really challenging at your community college?
I learn more here than in my actual lectures at uni. this is great. also i love videos because you can pause and go back if you need to
This is the second time am running into your comment. Good luck anyway am also on the same path.
Course starts at 16:14
thanks :)
Thanks
I ove you 16 minutes, thank you sir
starts at 00:00, man teaches some good advice
Omg thank u
The students are as mesmerized at the spellbound presentation in understandable but no nonsense manner. I am loving the Prof
Amazing that we have this material online. Thank you to all those involved in this effort. I truly appreciate it and hope others do to.
Am greatly impressed to be a student of MIT on line as well as receiving lectures from world respected professional. The likes of professor Eric Grimson; Prof. John Guttag etc
This is beautiful. Thank you MIT OCW and thank you Professors Grimson and Guttag for the clear and concise lectures.
I know I can never get in to MIT, so this is such a useful free resource for people like me who want to get into comp sci taught by masters! Thank you so much! I plan on getting either a second bachelors in comp sci (first one in music) or master's if possible.
indeed@aviator9514
this is one of the best lectures i have ever been part of. i am proud of you prof
I like the way this class is given, and also how you would eliminate intimidating lower "skilled" students as i have experienced this myself long time ago.
Thanks MIT! Eleven years later (2019) and i am learning. It’s wonderfull
This is why MIT is the best university in the world ! By the time I watched this video lesson , I used to code , but I didn't realize Real coding . Henceforth i know what is code and algorithm , Thank you very much!
woah!
Amazing lecture! Great thing of MIT to keep their courses open :)
These professors seem awesome, my college professors make me feel like I'm in high school again with docked points for not showing up even if you have an A. Kind of hard to not miss a day when you work and have a family.
This lecture and professor are excellent! Providing comparisons brings clarity; he also provides great history here.
A legend in the field of computer science,it's nice to see him giving live lecture
Fantastic teacher! Wish I had a teacher like that at school.
You've got a great editor and camra guy. I can not thank you enough for uploading.
A very well done intro to CS. I actually already have taken about 5 courses (but not at MIT!) in computer science but I still watched this. Thanks for putting this out there.
Thanks. This lecture explains sophisticated things in a straightforward way. Eric is very good at lecturing.
I think 1.7 million people would rather be there than the people who were..
Wow lol probably true. Nothing beats being self taught and, unless you want to be a theoretical computer scientist, it would be enough to just pay attention in math class, master some basic algebra, calculus etc. install linux, grab a few books on scripting, assembly, of course K&R's C programming language, learn to use standard libraries for stuff (like graphics, etc), and you should be on your way. When your old enough and experienced enough, read Knuths Art of Computer Programming. Well, at least this is my MIT style education since I'm too poor to go there.

Another mind-reading idiot.
@@XTheDentist wow 6 years ago.
How are you doing , commenting from a relative future
@@ksun8993 Adding the word "relative" there instead of just saying from "the" future makes you sound far more intelligent than the rest of the internet. Good job, Sundar. You get the true spirit of Ivy League youtube video comments.
I like how he speaks, easy to understand
"You're inexperienced, not inadequate." Thank you Sir.
Your experience as a lecturer shows. Much better than the recent version. Especially, if you like to a faster pace. Thank you as my course is online.
What the heck is wrong with these students? This teacher's jokes are hilarious!
Yea that's probably right
+jagjit bhatia These are courses or degree?
+jagjit bhatia The video only record the sounds of the Prof, so this should be why you cannot hear the students' reaction.
You haven't been to college have you? This is a first year class. You dont have an idea how scary it is especially the first day of class.
Haha yea tru
Absolutely legendary. My undergrad started in 2008 but never really focused much on Coding. After 12 years, here I am. Better late than never.
The dislikes are from Harvard Students :P
It´s one of the best proffesor that i have ever listen to.I would like that my programming professor would be like this man.
Nice lecture ,I admire to have a lecturer like you in Kenya!
Can you pay him? That's an MIT Professor.
Begin this video at 17:20 if you aren't an MIT student and don't care about all the disclaimers class protocols.
Here is the short list of what is relevant to TH-camrs in that 17:20:
You will:
Write a simple program
Read a program
Translate problems to computations
Think like a computer scientist.
One of the greatest gifts I’ve ever found was listening to theses lectures when I’m at the gym! It’s so interesting that I forget I’m doing cardio lol
Helps me much right now I will study this hopefully
thank you for uploading these and making these available
Every lecture worth millions for non MIT students , no one can provide this level of world class education for free, we love you MIT professors,
Thank you for offering these courses for free! i love the chalkboard. Much easier to see, far clearer than a grainy projection or white board with layers of old ink showing.
This helps me even I’m too young to understand all the things since I’m only 9 years old
lecture starts at 16:15
I feel bad for this professor--He's doing a pretty good job being funny, but the class is just not responding at all. You'd think comedy would be well-received in the first lecture.
First year and first day. It's scary
He can't be very funny. He's a Lisp programmer.
The majority of students are virtual students who are not interactive with the professor. My hypothesis, the students are part of the filming crew and of previous students.
Probably he's retired now , this class was 11 years ago . Maybe hes in Hawaii now .
Maybe because tech people are nerds! No offense I'm a nerd too!
i love this lecture... thanks youtube. If only MIT can find ways to make a live season available worldwide. I would attend that class.
Computer Science is a lot easier now a days! With all the online resources! Hard work, dedication, and believe in yourself!
Thanks MIT! This class is invaluable to me. I'm already incorporating what I learned in this class at work!
I'm in a third world country and I'm gettin this for free? fucking sweet. I still need to put in a lot of work though but I love how many tools i can grab to learn this subject of programming
Jherson Lopez
Yeah, education is really awesome these days
This professor's teaching style is awesome
Thanks MIT Open Course Ware , Prof. Eric Grimson and Prof. John Guttag.
Thank you so much for posting. I maybe dont have a chance of attending MIT but I can still learn and study from other source
This is great. I decided to learn myself C after starting with Python. I got most of the basics down in C. I just thought what better way to learn than a freaking MIT lecture, man.
Heartfelt thanks to MIT for sharing knowledge to people across the world!
it's a great opportunity (video) for a beginner to start learning computer science,Thanks MIT.
This is my dream school :) I really want to study computer science and computer programming in college, and I hope to do it here. That would definately be a dream come true :)
dibbydots woah did you make it?
I'm only 12 but I am so interested in computer science, MIT you can see me in your university in about 6-7 years.
How far have u reached mate?
whats up man
@@rityanan6825 im good how r u
I am listening with pleasure. He knows the subject well and explains so easily with pleasant diction
I would be so grateful to take this class in person, he reminds me of my intro to programming professor he has great
Thank you for free education.
This professor probably never thought that 4 million people would end up watching him give his lecture that day.
Overqualified to join other courses… only respect for this Teacher 🙏🏽 passionate people like these actually making a difference to education wow 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
What a great lecturer he is, explains it very well and makes it interesting
Thank you for posting! There is no excuse to remain ignorant, every knowledge is available for those who want to learn.

so, it's so easy to start learning... Hello, MIT!!! Thank you, Prof. Eric!!!
thanks I live in Bogota and when saw this course hopped my heart... I am very happy. blessess
Thinking about going into Computer Science...Everything seems to good to be true, and these are great videos since nothing in public high schools in my area have any courses for anything computer science related to get to see what its all about
What are you doing now?
I'm determined to make Programming my skill! I'm stoked for this course and i'll be looking back in a few months and see how far i've come!
Kyle Joultz How's the progress coming?
Kyle Joultz How are things coming along? I need to know because I'm thinking about doing this course.
+Kyle Joultz hows are you doing taking these course? im planning on getting a certificate for Comp Programming
I'm starting this too. I''m beginning my quarter in college in 2 weeks and taking the first cs class. Did any of you learn from these videos?
+Zuviox Im taking it on winter
This being open for the world to learn from is wonderful
The most honest lecturer i have ever seen...I would be happy if he was my teacher
To learn faster play the video at 1.5 speed or 2
Yeah, but then you miss the jokes.
I love this comment
LinedBark KING Nope it's called rewind lol
Picked this technique up myself from a TH-cam user that completed 3-4 years of MIT courseware in 12 months. He recommended this as well
Thanks for posting this.
You're welcome.
Thanks again for having these up for free .
He’s laid out expectations scope targets so beautifully
My intro to programming is supposed to require no experience but the class just has a bunch of guys trying to show up the professor. Also my professor does not explain stuff like this guy at all I can barely tell what he’s saying. So thank you for the video.
What is a computer: @23:49
One thing I would add to the diagram that he draws at @26:39 is that the control tells the ALU what to do (that's why it's called control), so there should be an arrow from the box on the left to the box on the right (and maybe an arrow in the other direction as well).
The control is what reads the program instructions, and uses that to decide what control signals to send to the ALU. Perhaps the most interesting things that the two boxes on the bottom can do is CONDITIONALLY affect the program counter (which normally just increments by 1). This gives rise to the possibility of "interesting" execution sequences (and therefore, interesting behaviors), which Hofstetter might call "strange loops".
People tend to think that a computer is very limited, because it's behavior is "rigid", but what they don't understand is that rigidity does not preclude interestingness. Conway's game of life is perhaps the best visualization of how interesting behavior can arise from simple rigid rules: although it only has 4 very simple rules, the answer to simple questions such as "Can this grow indefinitely?" are pretty non-obvious.
Such non-obviousness arising from simple dynamics is what we call "emergent", and people should understand that emergence is everywhere, and makes seemingly simple things not so simple. I don't think it is an exaggeration to say that acquiring an awareness of emergence is like turning your eyes to the heavens for the first time. It's is a concept that truly elevates the mind beyond what (non-human) beasts are capable of. It is an essential component of true intelligence. Without it, your intelligence is simply not sophisticated.
thank you for sharing such wonderful lectures. they really helped me a lot to think like a programmer
Respect & appreciations to every single person who contributed directly & indirectly to make, edit & post this video on TH-cam. I never imagined a less privileged person would access study material from MIT. This is priceless.
