    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!

    I love Robert Sapolsky's classes at Stanford (available on their UA-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 my favorite intro to programming course ever, I keep recommending it to people ever since I've first seen it. :-)
    I enjoyed it a lot even though I didn't really learn much new (I've been coding for years at that point), the professor is that good. I highly recommend it to anyone struggling with the basics of programming.

    • @testuser1337
      @testuser1337 7 років тому +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.

    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 :)

    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.

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!

    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.

    It's amazing that any sane person could give this a thumbs down. I wish I had professors like this when I was in college (or high school, or middle school). A course of this quality would cost $100's.
    After watching these series, every other lecture or tutorial will bore the daylights out of you. This professor will spoil you.
    NOTE: The first lecture can be pretty much skipped over since a lot of it is related to the class (grades, etc.).

    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.

After finishing the series I still only had a basic understanding of programming but I had developed the passion and an interest. As far as online series go, its excellent, above par for any course on basic OO programming course you can take, even at a local university.
    TL:DR
    Highly recommend.

    YES! This is a great course for an absolute beginner. Even though I'm not an absolute beginner, this prof does a great job explaining it at a very "noob friendly" level. Honestly, I wish I HAD learned from this as a complete beginner. He has answered so many questions that I still had as an intermediate programmer as far as "why" things are done a certain way. Seriously, go through this course it will save you a lot of headache and having to UNLEARN bad programming habits later on.
