About this course
The Virtual University of Pakistan's CS101 course, taught by Dr. Tanvir Afzal in short numbered topic videos. It starts with what computer science is, breadth-first learning, search engines and searching tricks, then moves through the roots of computing, how bits are stored, data representation, software and algorithms.
