Welcome to one of the most widely known introductory Computer Science courses, UC Berkeley's CS 6...

Thanks for stopping by. I hope this guide is of good use to you, but before we get into it, I jus...

Before we dive head-first into Python and the fundamentals of Computer Science, it's important th...

We've covered the basics, and it's time to get into it. Let's go ahead and install Python to get ...

Now that we've established some of my incoherent thoughts about computer science, let's take a lo...

We'll start off a little slow and talk about expressions in python. From your math classes, you p...

But what can you really do with all of these different expressions? If you combine them into func...

Now that we know how to start basic coding, we should also look into how we can visualize our cod...

Most of the time, you only want your code to run if something is true (or false). For example, sa...

Right now, we know how to use simple conditions in if-else statements. What if we wanted to check...

We learned about conditions and saw how we can use them to make our code run only when we want it...

Let's take a break from all this new condition and loop stuff and go back to something we recogni...

Remember the add_2 function from the previous section on lambdas? What if we wanted to make a gen...

If you haven't read my notes on environment diagrams, now is a good time to read those. Parent Fr...
