Every now and then, a College Professor does something really creative ...


Here is what one such college professor put together in early 2014. I think that he did a bang-up job of it. Enjoy.

The title of the class was apparently, "Operating Systems." But he sort-of put together a history of early computing ... with a sly sense of humor.

... and, just while you're at it, enjoy this classic from Peter Norvig.

I couldn't see past the first slide. I don't know whether that is my set-up or a problem elsewhere.

I had the same experience, couldn't see the slides, but the read down the page was still interesting!

I block such things so I didn't even notice it. I read the content, and thought that what he had to say was interesting.
