CS212 - Design of Computer Programs Improve your programming skills with new patterns and techniques.
The key to progressing from a novice programmer to an expert is mindful practice. In this class you will practice going from a problem description to a solution, using a series of assignments. With each problem you will learn new concepts, patterns, and methods that will expand your ability and help move you along the path from novice towards expertise.
A forum to encourage and amplify technology-based moonshot thinking and teamwork.

In this course, we will study the concepts and algorithms behind some of the remarkable successes of computer vision - capabilities such as face detection, handwritten digit recognition, reconstructing three-dimensional models of cities, automated monitoring of activities, segmenting out organs or tissues in biological images, and sensing for control of robots.

We believe university-level education can be both high quality and low cost. Using the economics of the Internet, we’ve connected some of the greatest teachers to hundreds of thousands of students all over the world.
Udacity was founded by three roboticists who believed much of the educational value of their university classes could be offered online. A few weeks later, over 160,000 students in more than 190 countries enrolled in our first class, “Introduction to Artificial Intelligence.”
1.) The Bible (eBook) - “to learn that it’s easier to be told by others what to think and believe than it is to think for yourself.”
2.) The System of the World by Isaac Newton (eBook) – “to learn that the universe is a knowable place.”
3.) On the Origin of Species by Charles Darwin (eBook – Audio Book) - “to learn of our kinship with all other life on Earth.”
4.) Gulliver’s Travels by Jonathan Swift (eBook – Audio Book) – “to learn, among other satirical lessons, that most of the time humans are Yahoos.”
5.) The Age of Reason by Thomas Paine (eBook – Audio Book) – “to learn how the power of rational thought is the primary source of freedom in the world.”
6.) The Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith (eBook – Audio Book) - “to learn that capitalism is an economy of greed, a force of nature unto itself.”
7.) The Art of War by Sun Tsu (eBook – Audio Book) - “to learn that the act of killing fellow humans can be raised to an art.”
8.) The Prince by Machiavelli (eBook – Audio Book) - “to learn that people not in power will do all they can to acquire it, and people in power will do all they can to keep it.”
The following notes represent a complete, stand alone interpretation of Stanford’s machine learning course presented by Professor Andrew Ng and originally posted on the ml-class.org website during the fall 2011 semester.
Very short computer programs, sometimes consisting of as few as three arithmetic operations in an infinite loop, can generate data that sounds like music when output as raw PCM audio. The space of such programs was recently explored by dozens of individuals within various on-line communities. This paper discusses the programs resulting from this exploratory work and highlights some rather unusual methods they use for synthesizing sound and generating musical structure.

Schema till lördag, 29 oktober/ Schedule for Saturday, 29 October
* Start at 09.30
- Andrew Dalke, on Python’s other built-in data structures (~45 min)
- Geoff Bache on the impact of GUI changes on tests (~45 min)
* coffee break (around 11.30)
- Niklas Gustavsson, on Spotify’s architecture (~45 min)
* Lunch (around 12.30)
- Armin Rigo on PyPy (~45 min)
- Open discussion on “The tools you use” (~30 min)
I’ll have a set of topics about IDEs, testing,
profiling, networking libraries, etc. and let
people give feedback about the tools they use
or want to use.
* coffee break (around 15.00)
- Open Space; let’s do some coding!
o Olof has offered to work with a group on programming
with Sikuli
o Feel free to present your own group idea and get
others in on the fun. Ideas might be to try out pypy
or get started with ZeroMQ.
Stanford has been offering portions of its robotics coursework online for a few years now, but professors Sebastian Thrun and Peter Norvig are kicking things up a notch (okay, lots of notches) with next semester’s CS221: Introduction to Artificial Intelligence. For the first time, you can take this course, along with several hundred Stanford undergrads, without having to fill out an application, pay tuition, or live in a dorm.
Gratis utbildning är det bästa.
Modern universitetskurs som täcker:
applications of signal processing to music audio — synthesis, effects, and analysis.
The emphasis will be on connecting the practical, intuitive effects of the techniques with the underlying signal processing principles and tools.
Jag har ingen koll på kvaliteten eller så, men kan vara värt att kika på.
Uppdatering: Många av länkarna pekar fel, så surfa direkt till MIT OpenCourseWare istället - bra skit!
