Computational Thinking - CS50 for Lawyers 2019

00:00:00 - Introduction 00:00:15 - Computational Thinking 00:01:54 - Representation 00:05:13 - Binary 00:14:36 - Representing Letters 00:16:37 - Unicode 00:19:33 - Abstraction 00:22:09 - RGB 00:24:22 - Representing Images and Videos 00:29:54 - Finding Mike Smith 00:31:38 - Solving Problems Effectively 00:40:59 - Pseudocode 00:41:56 - Functions 00:42:25 - Conditions 00:42:40 - Boolean Expressions 00:43:11 - Loops 00:44:17 - Abstraction (continued) This course is a variant of Harvard University's introduction to computer science, CS50, designed especially for lawyers (and law students). Whereas CS50 itself takes a bottom-up approach, emphasizing mastery of low-level concepts and implementation details thereof, this course takes a top-down approach, emphasizing mastery of high-level concepts and design decisions related thereto. Ultimately, it equips students with a deeper understanding of the legal implications of technological decisions made by clients. Through a mix of technical instruction and discussion of case studies, this course empowers students to be informed contributors to technology-driven conversations. In addition, it prepares students to formulate technology-informed legal arguments and opinions. Along the way, it equips students with hands-on experience with Python and SQL, languages via which they can mine data for answers themselves. Topics include algorithms, cloud computing, databases, networking, privacy, programming, scalability, security, and more, with a particular emphasis on understanding how the work developers do and the technological solutions they employ may impact clients. Students emerge from this course with first-hand appreciation of how it all works and all the more confident in the factors that should guide their decision-making.    • CS50 for Lawyers 2019   *** This is CS50, Harvard University's introduction to the intellectual enterprises of computer science and the art of programming. *** HOW TO SUBSCRIBE http://www.youtube.com/subscription_c...
