Лучшие отзывы о курсе HOW COMPUTERS WORK
Good Course for a person who is not in the field of computer science and who wants to get deep knowledge in computer science.Thank You the University of London for that wonderful course.
A great course. Although I have come from a background in website development, I still picked up many useful tips and information about the fundamentals of computers and how they work.
This was a really good course! There were some parts where I felt things may have been skipped over or videos repeated, but overall I think the information is very useful.
It is awesome and wonderful experience. and in fact in-depth learning and knowledge of the courses/topics\n\nThankful to all the staff/members of Coursera and PSMO...
