Computer Science Education
I don&#x27;t want to be negative here, But I think anyone who can convince Berkeley guys to re-activate this[1] channel would make humanity <i>much much</i> more service.<p>I am saying this because this channel changed my life, literally. I do live in third world country, I went to local college, where you will learn nothing after 4 year (not even writing a simple hello world, TBH). But after watching and learning from this channel and MIT opencourseware, right now I am working on internal of linux kernel (just think about not being able to write hello world after 4 year, and compare it with hacking linux kernel to get a feeling about how far I came) as hobby project, and I came this far only by watching various (from OS class to compiler, algorithm, etc) class and solving their assignments and writing their projects. I came this far by my own (only, without any help other than free material in resource I mentioned). I am 100% sure I will go further and further, because this is my <i>thing</i>, I may not be that smart, but I am resilient.<p>So I am perfect&#x2F;live example of how free educational material can change people lives, and I do live in very small city (indeed very small, which most people are not familiar with computer until 3,4 years ago).<p>I did have 40kb connection, sometimes I spent a whole day waiting for downloading a lecture, to watch it, considering I had to use VPN, you can understand how hard it was to download a whole class from youtube. Right now I have better connection.<p>[1] : <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;user&#x2F;UCBerkeley&#x2F;videos" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;user&#x2F;UCBerkeley&#x2F;videos</a>
