Cut to the chase: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nyzl3pVXp4 I really am a big supporter of quality education being available for everyone, and because of that I've opted to open source my CS education on YouTube. I'm starting with Rails, and I will eventually work around to more core CS topics like circuits -> logic gates -> binary -> assembly -> c -> Data Structures -> Algorithms etc. If you like it subscribe and I'm looking for all the feedback I can get on how to make it better :)
