CS course from Harvard

A couple of days ago I've received a great tip from Anton, a regular reader of this blog.  He shared a link to Harvard's course in Computer Science, which is specific to developing mobile applictions.  I took time to check it out and I must say it's a great resource!  

Here's the link: http://cs76.tv/2011/spring/

Every course its own pace.  My Java and C++ studies are of 'moderate' pace, and by calling it so I refer to the amount of infromation and details presented by the teacher.  This course is just a blast!  I've learned C in about over an hour, and the lecture wasn't even over, since there were some things left to be said about Objective-C basics!  I really enjoyed the great lectures and surprisingly enough it didn't feel like I only had scratched the surface or had skipped lots of important concepts.  I guess this was one of the most suitable paces for me.  Once again, thank you Anton for this great tip!

As for C++ coding I didn't do as much as I wish I'd had done because of my tight travel schedule this week.  Still a couple dozens lines of incomplete code to check if a numbered square is a 'Magic' one had their happy birth hour at the 20,000 meters altitude.  :)

I'm going to continue working on CS76 lectures throughout the week just to prepare to the upcoming final 'phase' of studies, the Objective-C language.
