  • dolphus, on 03/19/2008, -2/+81Awesome find! Thanks!
  • stejules, on 03/19/2008, -64/+4Nice find, but i have no time to go to school
    Greetinx
    ;D
    Ste
    Carthago delenda est!.
    • bclinton, on 03/19/2008, -71/+3Speak english Osama....

      Oh ya, no one really cares that you have no time to go to College.
      • screwattackthis, on 03/19/2008, -4/+35Yes, all non-english speakers are terrorists.
        • bclinton, on 03/19/2008, -36/+4Well maybe not full fledged but definately a potential....
      • Aitese, on 03/19/2008, -1/+38You do know Osama attended some of the top schools in the world right?
      • pezholio, on 03/19/2008, -5/+51And the number one reason why America is the most hated country in the world is...












        People like you.

        Congratulations.
        • bclinton, on 03/19/2008, -24/+5I always thought they hated us because all of their citizens were trying to get in our country. Without people they have no country. You know....kind of like that....
          • fkr3, on 03/19/2008, -1/+10The only people really trying to get into the USA are the ones from desperately poor third world nations. The developed world couldn't care less.
      • WaltDismal, on 03/19/2008, -4/+17Someone not recognizing the Latin phrase 'Carthago delenda est' means that the American school system doesn't do a good job. Sad and unfortunate. Jules' use was apt, too.
      • KixEvilCereal, on 03/19/2008, -0/+1Speak Latin, redneck.

        Furthermore, your statement should read:
        "Speak English, Osama. Oh yeah, no one really cares that you have no time to go to college."

        This, however, is still grammatically incorrect, but at least you wouldn't contradict yourself quite so horrendously.
    • minorthreat, on 03/19/2008, -3/+12why? because you spend all your time surfing digg and other pointless and mindless websites?
  • kwelte57, on 03/19/2008, -27/+12Fantastic resource. with limited training budget and resources, This will go a long way.

    Kurt
    • Ninjab3ar, on 03/19/2008, -4/+36Really? Your name is Kurt?
      • boorilla, on 03/19/2008, -0/+12i'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that his last name is Welte
    • matthewf01, on 03/19/2008, -8/+5Learning a little on the rules of capitalization will also go a long way, Kurt.
    • fkr3, on 03/19/2008, -1/+7wanKur.....t
  • anteyekon4myst, on 03/19/2008, -21/+7hmmm....free...just like all those ideological manifestos
    • dn11, on 03/19/2008, -0/+2LOL... free like those religious pamphlets and flowers they used hand out at airports? In this case you can take and leave what you like though. The upside of Ajax is that it incorporates many techniques - all of which may be individually useful in different ways.
    • boxybrzown, on 03/19/2008, -0/+10Code works way better than prayer.
  • fluidfoundation, on 03/19/2008, -4/+279Does it have tutorials for google-style world domination? I was using yahoo's but... well.... THAT didnt go so well.
    • merreborn, on 03/19/2008, -0/+5It actually has some resources regarding Hadoop, the open source knock off of google's Map Reduce architecture. Yahoo has used and backed Hadoop heavily.

      So it's a little bit of both.
    • GibitStylin, on 03/19/2008, -2/+14What are we going to do tonight? The same thing we do every night, Pinky. Try to take over the world.... except this time,we use google tools 101!
  • Acronym, on 03/19/2008, -46/+2google never fails to deliver - that's what she said
    • foldor, on 03/19/2008, -3/+59Dude, you can't "That's what she said" your own comment. It's just pathetic. The best you can do is set yourself up for it and let someone else take it away.
      • screwattackthis, on 03/19/2008, -0/+15He might think he's Michael Scott.
        • stellarceltic, on 03/19/2008, -1/+8And you were directly under her the entire time?
          That's what she said.
          Ms. Levinson told you she was your direct superior?
        • ThndrShk2k, on 03/19/2008, -1/+5"He might think he's Michael Scott."
          Maybe he /IS/ Michael Scott.
        • Prombar, on 03/19/2008, -0/+2i declare bankruptcy
      • Acronym, on 03/19/2008, -11/+1you guys don't understand, I'm related to chuck norris
      • havokzero, on 03/19/2008, -3/+3That's what she said.
      • Acronym, on 03/19/2008, -1/+2that's what who said?
      • NeoTEKK, on 03/19/2008, -1/+2Yeah, that's what I said.
  • Twinny, on 03/19/2008, -5/+28first the internet ? now education ? next the world ?
    • Exbzurq, on 03/19/2008, -7/+1step 2: ???
    • jerstud56, on 03/19/2008, -3/+2Isn't Bungie's plan to take over the world? Maybe they should merge.
      • AlgnPelotudo, on 03/19/2008, -0/+1also the linux kernel hackers... i mean, world domination is proceeding as planned and stuff.
    • mateusap, on 03/19/2008, -4/+2googlowned
    • karolisonline, on 03/19/2008, -1/+2You forgot 4) profit.

      it is very sad, that many of us, forgot what was microsoft(maybe we were to young then) and now we don't recognize google being just another microsoft of the time.
      technically it is imposible for non-profit corporation to exist, every has it's gaols just for sake of power, money, control and womens hart (or maybe not.. duh.. if you are homosexual or Spitzer ;) )
  • kaythecraven, on 03/19/2008, -3/+15Kitchen sink not included
  • skyz, on 03/19/2008, -4/+12free school is always cool - i want to go to google $ school !
  • fuhcough, on 03/19/2008, -3/+13ja-ja-jackpot. kudos to google for single-handedly bringing SOME value to the internet.
  • mBrutis, on 03/19/2008, -0/+25It's a google world, we're just livin' in it
  • sickswaystop, on 03/19/2008, -1/+41I can't get past all the jargon to learn anything!
    • BlackStrain, on 03/19/2008, -0/+9Then learn the jargon and become a manager instead.
    • DeathJux, on 03/19/2008, -0/+5Then it's not for you, at least until you educate yourself to meet the minimum level of comprehension.

      You can't take a middle-schooler and expect him to understand University-level material, generally.
  • smackafiyah, on 03/19/2008, -3/+34Is there anything Google CAN'T do?
  • justjoehere, on 03/19/2008, -9/+3Are we welcoming our Google overlords?
  • chanop, on 03/19/2008, -4/+19ROBOT HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    • Benno, on 03/19/2008, -0/+3That's enough out of you! From this day forth, You're on dodeca-tuple secret probation!
  • Member148, on 03/19/2008, -3/+8I bookmarked this page. Good submission.
  • sindex, on 03/19/2008, -8/+2***** win. nice find.
  • smergs, on 03/19/2008, -0/+3Off topic, but does anyone have any suggestions for learning PL/SQL. I'm very much a beginner and now I'm doing it for my job so I could use as much help as possible if anyone has any good suggestions.
  • thinman1189, on 03/19/2008, -0/+36Google should set up Google University where they combine this project with all of the free stuff coming out of universities; a part of the search engine that just features academia which may or may not be related to the internet.
    LOLcats would not be a course.
  • stephie189, on 03/19/2008, -0/+1Could this be training for future google-rs...google-ite? hm.
    Cool in any case.
  • fuzzynyanko, on 03/19/2008, -0/+11Very nice reference, but the information might not be useful for beginning programmers.
    • LGod, on 03/19/2008, -0/+1There are hundreds of books, tutorials, demonstrations, and power points that you can find all over the interwebs if you need help with beginning concepts.
    • TheShad0w, on 03/19/2008, -0/+1I'd have to agree a lot of these topics are meant for at least senior level CS majors and professionals. But as LGod said you can easily find resources online to bring you up to speed.
  • gunnerrs, on 03/19/2008, -0/+2great find buddy i will use this page forever
  • jiaoziren, on 03/19/2008, -1/+3again i found another reason to love google more. jeez....I love you google.
  • minorthreat, on 03/19/2008, -0/+16Almost all Computer Science professor's across the US put their curriculum online for anyone to view. I can still go to my former University's website, find my professor, go to his homepage and view all the coursework. MIT is another big college with all their coursework online. I would suggest viewing this or any CS course work you can find if you really want to learn something
    • edwinarif, on 03/19/2008, -1/+2Yes, unless google provide real online tutors, its basically the same as other information sites.
    • Gabberwok, on 03/19/2008, -0/+2MIT's on-line course materials are available at http://ocw.mit.edu btw, in case you're curious. That and a lot of other free lecture material is available through "iTunes U" as well. Some schools keep their stuff password protected, but there's a lot of free stuff out there as well. MIT is by far the most generous with free quality course materials though.
  • mkling176, on 03/19/2008, -11/+2Better than sex.
  • talonstriker, on 03/19/2008, -0/+2Would be nice if they included some sort of certification program (for free) but that's asking too much I suppose.
  • derjames, on 03/19/2008, -9/+4Where is Visual BASIC?...
    • fotbr, on 03/19/2008, -0/+4I'd guess that google doesn't use much VB, but they DO use C++, Java, and Python, which is why they're on the list and VB isn't.
      • TheShad0w, on 03/19/2008, -0/+1don't forget C for GoogleFS and Perl for some of their text processing (though this could have been phased out)
    • spiritditch, on 03/19/2008, -2/+13Please press Alt + F4
    • boxybrzown, on 03/19/2008, -1/+6Back in the 90's, where it died?
    • GordonV, on 03/19/2008, -0/+1You can take a college course to get started... OR, you can get VB Studio and a good book and learn it. It always helps when you're in a group of people though.
    • NeoTEKK, on 03/19/2008, -1/+1In my pants.
      • IllBeBack, on 03/19/2008, -0/+3Can't believe that you would admit that what's in your pants is Visually Basic.
        • NeoTEKK, on 03/19/2008, -1/+1No no...you misunderstood. See, my girlfriend is French. Her name is "Visua Basíc". Get what I mean? ; )
        • BFisch06, on 03/19/2008, -1/+1Diggers don't have girlfriends though...
  • aprestia, on 03/19/2008, -0/+1Google just gets more awesome everyday.
  • h4mx0r, on 03/19/2008, -0/+2Woo hoo, finding out about this in my Computer Science class
    • nandasunu, on 03/19/2008, -3/+2maybe try using some of the education you are actually paying for?
  • zornedge, on 03/19/2008, -0/+4I don't see captions on any of these videos exhibited. Another great Google invention, but kinda useless for the hearing impaired if there are none. These are from Google Videos, I believe - so pretty much anything goes. Perhaps I will make a tutorial video myself and caption it to show it on Google Code.
  • oscarwilde, on 03/19/2008, -2/+1The only problem with this is that you will be learning the way google wants you to, the objectivity will not necessarily be there and they will be shaping the future learning practices. www.statusseo.com
    • TheShad0w, on 03/19/2008, -0/+2No they are showing you one way of doing it. You as a CS major/professional are supposed to be able to figure out the best tool for the job.
  • law1ess, on 03/19/2008, -3/+27http://code.google.com/edu/images/cm1.PNG

    women....
    • law1ess, on 03/19/2008, -1/+12c'mon! dugg down?! You know damn well Bob was ***** at Susan!
      • Dubbsacc, on 03/19/2008, -1/+2Well if Bob was a smarter coder, he would not only have a backup, but also have have a complete revision history via a source control management application. (i.e. Subversion)
        • silicondon, on 03/20/2008, -0/+1Yeah right, Susan wouldn't have been able to merge with SVN.

          Git FTW!
    • DeathJux, on 03/19/2008, -0/+3I lolled, that was an awesome comment.
  • junkwheel, on 03/19/2008, -0/+1Will this teach me how to make my own Google Mars?

    I want to make my own of the Sun.
  • popiculo, on 03/19/2008, -1/+1great resource, thanks a lot.
  • liquidmetalband, on 03/19/2008, -3/+1Great. Now you can qualify yourself for a career as a pawn and get paid a few pennies for it.
  • brownr21, on 03/19/2008, -10/+2Python, C++, Java... All useless old languages. Grats on promoting crap, google.
    • joeanon, on 03/19/2008, -0/+3Python is old? It's from 91 ! Get a clue. Programming is about learning many languages, not ONE REALLY KEWL language.

      C is old too and it's probably still the most used language out there and the highest performing. New just means slower and easier for idiots to code. C and C++ are the standard in game development.

      Java is the most taught language in the world and probably 2nd most popular.

      When learning a language you should think of employability.. what languages are most popular or on the rise, not what languages are newest.

      useless though... that's a joke. You named some of the most popular and useful languages on Earth and called them old and useless.

      Are you always an idiot or just a google hater ?

      • fkr3, on 03/19/2008, -0/+2I'm pretty sure C# and .NET overtook Java a year or two back.
        • TheShad0w, on 03/19/2008, -0/+1C# and .NET are a MS only solution. Not really helpful if you're running in a pure *nix environment. Don't get me wrong C# is a powerful language but it isn't the OMG-Super-Kewls Answer to everything. As I mentioned above and as joeanon said. Being a CS major/professional is about finding the right tool for the job. Be it Perl, PHP, Python, C, C++, C#, Java, Assembly, et al.
      • brownr21, on 03/21/2008, -0/+1Um... 1991 is old. Powerful doesn't mean useful. You don't need to learn a million languages, pick the best one and stick with it. And if you said Java, C++, or Python... lol@you.
  • Singularitarian, on 03/19/2008, -0/+2If ONLY the Feynman lectures on physics had been videotaped...
    The model of learning where people go sit in lecture halls and hear words that were carefully prepared but then lost forever is obsolete. At the very least, videotape your lectures so your students can watch them again later if they get confused. If you aren't an excellent lecturer (and most are not), then for the sake of your students use videos of someone who IS an excellent lecturer.
  • dackerman, on 03/19/2008, -2/+2i'd go gay for google
    • isaactwito, on 03/19/2008, -1/+1Wouldn't we all, for a cut of those billions.
  • FriedNerds, on 03/19/2008, -0/+1Yet another reason why Google is totally awesome!
  • GordonV, on 03/19/2008, -1/+1Wish they hooked up the camera audio to the PA. Got tired of seeing people walk in front of the camera and hearing the door to the converence room open and close.
  • JDigital01, on 03/19/2008, -1/+1I love Google.
  • joeanon, on 03/19/2008, -0/+1overall pretty lame compared to the stuff we had years ago such as the CNET University which was actually quiet useful and had many programs for like 20 bucks a month.

    Oh the good days of unsustainable growth.
  • LGod, on 03/19/2008, -0/+1I think it is funny that some of the videos are hosted by You Tube. (See Courses --> Languages )
  • fEaRlEsSmOrOn, on 03/19/2008, -0/+1This is great !!!!!!!!!!! Thank you.
  • skyz, on 03/19/2008, -2/+1"is there anything google can't do" - yes they can't deliver free information without ads - if they were really really really smart they could do it without the ads -
  • gosmart4u, on 03/19/2008, -0/+1Thanks for the info :)
  • passiveconsumer, on 03/19/2008, -0/+1Right on....awesome!
  • Jmn187, on 03/19/2008, -1/+0I
  • JamesBond007, on 03/19/2008, -0/+1This Google. They are so simple looking, yet so complex...
