Carrie Anne Philbin introduces the upcoming Crash Course Computer Science series covering the history, hardware, and software of computing.

Starting February 22nd, Carrie Anne Philbin will be hosting Crash Course Computer Science! In this series, we're going to trace the origins of our modern computers, take a closer look at the ideas that gave us our current hardware and software, discuss how and why our smart devices just keep getting smarter, and even look towards the future! Computers fill a crucial role in the function of our society, and it's our hope that over the course of this series you will gain a better understanding of how far computers have taken us and how far they may carry us into the future.

On “Computer programming & Fundamental ebooks”

You can take courses in this link 'Teach Yourself Computer Science'. The courses of CS 61A, CS 61B, CS 61C from Berkeley are great, if you prefer OCW from MIT or Stanford, just google the courses and most of the lecture videos can be watched on Youtube. Crash Course Computer Science is also another good resource for beginners, just clink and check whether it helps you.

On “CS student with java knowledge asking for tips on studying C”

Typically, my advice would be to move to C++ then C. The reason is that C++ is object oriented like Java and that will be more familiar. That being said, you are taking a lab on C so that advice really isn't helpful. Maybe understanding why C seems so foreign will be more useful. In C, you are working close to the hardware of your machine: you manage memory yourself, perform operations using memory addresses, etc. Here is a series by CrashCourse on computer science. It may seem irrelevant but having an understanding of how your machine actually works will be really helpful in understanding how C works. Just for your information, the things that seem alien in C are the things that…
