these lectures are very helpful for those who want to learn computing but can't get right guidance, the videos are very entertaining and educational at the same time... and Richard Buckland rocks..
@ThunderAppeal ... "spends too much time in setting up analogies" ...u have to be joking??? ... if anything, professors have the tendency to spend too LITTLE time on analogies... and it is quite refreshing that he does take the time, energy and effort to do so. It has also been proven that that is the BEST method for relaying ANY subject matter... I honestly cant believe you said that... =(
I dont doubt that this professor is very knowledgeable. But he spends too much time in setting up analogies. Analogies are helpful when used sparingly, but he uses so much that they become distracting. I've been 'fast forwarding' through most of these videos. One could get the 'meat' of these lectures in about 3 or 4 videos.

i've remebered his analogies for many many years even when i forget the content. using the analogies i can derive the intuition and content
why not teach c++ instead?
Because C is beter
