Computers are everywhere.
Now, most people feel like they
can use computers, but how does it work inside of there?
Well, it is a little bit, some kind of an impossible mystery.
I'm going to tell you, if you
kind of look through the
curtain, how does the
computer work behind the scenes,
it is surprisingly simple.
Now, in this class, which is
open to anyone, absolutely no
prior experience is required, we're
gonna talk about what the parts
of the computer are, and how
it works and we're gonna take
that next step to playing with
little sequences of what are called computer code.
Computer code really drives the
essential quality of what the computer can do and what it can't do.
Now by playing with these little
bits of code I think you'll
get a sense, a real sense,
of how the computer works and also
you'll understand things that the computer
can't do.
And so I think of that as
sort of a step towards not being intimated by computers, really understanding
where they fit and what they can do.
This is an excellent class I'd
say for anyone today just
to sort of understand how computers work and where they fit in the world.
And if the computer
code appeals to you. Well,
this is an excellent first step
towards taking more advanced computer science classes.
As I said, this is a free class.
It's open to anyone, so I hope you'll join me.
