By the way, in that video, Sergey Brin looks older and really tired!
ok so here is a question.
How do you plan to let people online actually program a robotic car? (More likely) Do you plan to have some kind of simulated environment? Make hardware accessible through the web? actually run student programs on hardware (and send results back to students)? Make datasets from actual car sensors available?
I am just wondering about the scope of the course here. More information would be great.
Tangential: Does anyone actually write Robotics code in Python? All real life examples I've seen (that actually drive robots vs teach an algorithm) uses C/C++.
Do people need to learn how to build a search engine for the Web, complete with crawling and PageRank, etc., or do they rather need to know how to build a search engine for a specific corpus of documents that they have sitting around somewhere...?
The point of the class isn't for people to build their own personal search engine to actually use, but to use the experience of building and understanding a search engine as a vehicle for introducing computer science and programming.
