Wow! Keep it UP

Talk about a great course! I am hooked after the first one! The instructor is engaging, the course material is EXACTLY what I have been looking for. I am in the IT industry with a degree in musical theatre, looking to expand my knowledge. I don't need a degree, I just wanted some continuing education. I have been scouring the net for video training in subjects that I feel would enhance my current career without breaking the bank. After hunting through all of iTunes U, I was unable to find a satisfactory course in Comp Sci. I was beginning to think the material just wasn't out there! NOT SO! If there is anything I can say it's this: Harvard PLEASE make more of your classes available! What a fantastic resource for those of us who have the passion for learning without the pockets to back it up! Good on ya Harvard!

"CLEAN"

Itunes says this is the clean version of this podcast. Where is the dirty version? I'd like to hear what a dirty computer-science course sounds like.

Excellent!

Professor Malan did an OUTSTANDING job with this lecture series. Not only does he provide complete videos of all of his lectures, along with the accompanying PDF files of slides and computer code, but he even provides course notes on his website! I am a physician with a strong interest in computers and I was searching for an engaging way for me to learn the fundamentals of computer programming without first needing a degree in computer science. How can I beat the freshman introductory computer science course from Harvard?!? Truly and excellent series of lectures from a great instructor who really makes it fun to learn!
