Google Code University: CS Educational Materials
By Noel
Gorelick, Software EngineerLast summer we
launched a site aimed to help educators and students alike
become more familiar with the technology behind Google and the massive internet in general.
Recently, we've redesigned that site and given it a fresh name: welcome
Google Code University.
Google Code University is a growing repository of computer science educational material
including tutorials, lecture slides, and videos. Since the initial launch last summer, we've
added a lot of new content -- for example, a few months ago we
blogged about course material that the University of
Washington developed with us on
large-scale distributed computing. Recently, we've added
tutorials on
MySQL and
Subversion. And there's a new series of lectures
from an introductory
web programming class taught at the University of Washington. The
site's still growing, and we'll keep adding more content in the coming months.
Most importantly, most of the course materials are Creative Commons licensed,
so we encourage educators and students to reuse and build upon them. If you have questions,
comments, or materials you'd like to share, please visit the
forum. We'd love to hear your feedback and have you contribute
to the site.
