Review on Udacity's Cs101
As a beginner, it's better to take an introductory course to the Computer Science. Under the roof of internet there are uncountable number of options for us to select. Before diving into the pool of programming languages, we have to know from the definitions and what's going on under the hood. So the introductory course will take you to the pool and teaches to swim :).. This post shows you my review and experience with Udacity's CS101 course. 

What's the need to take this course? 

  • As previously said, before learning the programming languages, it was better to take a introductory course. We have to get the basic idea how the computer runs, compiling, and what was going on under hood. 
  • The most important quality of a programmer is to think like a software engineer. You have to gain the problem solving skills and to implement the suitable logic in to editor. This course guarantees you that, after completion of this course, you are not the one like before. You will get basic fundamentals on Data Structures, Algorithms, Protocols, Memory, and so on... 
  • By the way, during this course you use the programming language called Python. You surely enjoy your time programming in python. 
  • At the end of the course, you know what?, you will be already built a Web Crawler(Just like another Google) and you get the project to build a Social Network :)..... 

 Is this course suitable for beginners? 

  • This course is for absolute beginners. Each video in this course has duration max. 6 min. So, you are free from the continuous 2 hour lectures. 
  • After completion of each topic you have the quiz. And also you can complete the additional exercises which are there to boost your coding abilities after completion of each unit. 
  • You will also be addressed by co-founder of Google(Sergey Brin), co-founder of Udacity(Sebastian) and founder of DuckDuckGo(Gabriel Weinberg) during the course. 

What are the outcomes? 

  • You will start thinking like a problem solver. "=" is no longer "equals" symbol for you, you will know how important syntax is, you will dirty your hands in programming :)... 
  • Coming to projects, you will build a Web crawler and a Social Network. 

Where to start this course? 

  • Just head on to their website. Click on me . 

     So that't it folks!! Send me your doubts regarding this post to my Google+ profile. Thank you.

After the completion of the Part 1 of the course of Python, I took up the another course in Coursera on the HTML,CSS and JavaScript. It was fun learning this stuffs and worth too. Learnt about the RGB, Image Filtering, etc. I have done the coding work in the Online Development Environment,  Codepen  .  And finally, built a Project called "Green Screen" , which clears the green screen in the background of a image and add image in the background.  Get the code from my Codepen account

Yesterday, I had a very busy day... 😂... I am browsing through the random videos on YouTube and found Google's I/O 2018... Really, After watching that video.. I was like..

Build a Rocket with me!

The best engineering products come from the origins of hard work and sweat. Don't forget the creativity.. We are capable to building many things. But what stops from building those things is not believing in yourself.. With many inventions going around us, we can be a part of it to inspire others, build something, and to spread your knowledge. It's ok to get scared at the beginning of building something. But don't be in that dilemma for a long time. Spend your time building something, even that is small or big, worst or largest, useful or useless. Build something!. You should swim first to actually float in water. You may have a question, what actually meant by building something?. You have to build a house? Or any sand castle? Or a Rocket?... Well, No.. I think you are interested in programming? So, let's about it. The actual beauty of the Computer Science is that, you doesn't need any high end specs to start. A good laptop, and a good internet connection is ...
