Is this Hogwarts? No, friends, this is Harvard and the first CS50 lecture with Russian translation! Even in this introductory lesson (although the brain refuses to perceive this bright interactive activity as an “activity”) @David Malan has already managed to tell and show a lot of interesting things - https://javarush.com/quests/QUEST_HARVARD_CS50 Here's what:
- The native language of computers is the binary number system.
- ASCII - how characters are written
- how to algorithmize tasks - using live examples. Very lively =)
- why David tore up the telephone directory or what is binary search
- algorithm complexity - what, how and why
- None other than Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, will tell you what cycles are.
- ...and you will also see him in 2005, as an invited guest on the CS50. Hmm... judging by the audience, interest in technology has increased tenfold!
