What is notable about this video series that these lectures were given to an audience of professional programmers (staff of Hewlett-Packard), not first year students taking their first baby steps in programming.
It's nice that the video moves at a comfortable pace and doesn't get stuck explaining some details which most of the audience finds dead obvious.
- jacobolus 13y agoMy understanding is that their lectures to MIT freshmen were substantially similar in pace and content, but just spaced out over a longer period of time. Schools like MIT tend to assume that students are sufficiently mathematically sophisticated and technically competent, and willing to work hard to keep up.
