Online Learning: A Bachelor's Level Computer Science Program Curriculum

A few months back we took an in-depth look at MIT’s free online Introduction to Computer Science course, and laid out a self-study time table to complete the class within four months, along with a companion post providing learning benchmarks to chart your progress. In the present article, I'll step back and take a much more broad look at com-sci course offerings available for free on the internet, in order to answer a deceptively straightforward question: is it possible to complete the equivalent of a college bachelor’s degree in computer science through college and university courses that are freely available online?

And if so, how does one do so? The former question is more difficult to answer than it may at first appear. Yet, this does not mean that all the necessary elements for such a curriculum are not freely accessible. Introductory Courses. Introducere in Microsoft .NET Framework. C++ Language Tutorial.

win7shell - Winamp integration with Windows 7's shell

Win7shell is a simple plugin for Winamp, that integrates it with the new taskbar of Windows 7. As you may know the taskbar offers lots of new features, which you can read about everywhere, including here. Why would you need this? The new taskbar features were designed to improve the convenience of the user, adding visible information and shortcuts where you need it, but Winamp doesn't take advantage of these. Until now. The plugin's features, briefly: Scroll down to view details and screen shots. MANUAL.SU - All Manuals & Tutorials In One Page. The Fun Theory.

A common phrase heard in reference to electrical safety goes something like this: "It's not voltage that kills, its current!

Ohm's Law (again!) : Electrical Safety

" While there is an element of truth to this, there's more to understand about shock hazard than this simple adage. If voltage presented no danger, no one would ever print and display signs saying: DANGER -- HIGH VOLTAGE! The principle that "current kills" is essentially correct. It is electric current that burns tissue, freezes muscles, and fibrillates hearts. However, electric current doesn't just occur on its own: there must be voltage available to motivate electrons to flow through a victim. Taking Ohm's Law for voltage, current, and resistance, and expressing it in terms of current for a given voltage and resistance, we have this equation: The amount of current through a body is equal to the amount of voltage applied between two points on that body, divided by the electrical resistance offered by the body between those two points.

E = (20 mA)(1 MΩ) E = 340 volts. Speaker. Speakers A speaker converts electrical energy to mechanical/acoustical energy.

Speaker

It uses a coil of wire (which acts as an electromagnetic of varying strength), set inside a magnetic gap formed by a pole piece and a top plate. A permanent magnet produces the magnetic field. The following demo shows the main components of a woofer. Holding your cursor over the individual buttons will highlight the respective component. Voice coil motivation: When a current is passed through the coil of wire, called the voice coil, it generates a magnetic field. Magnitude of cone movement: When an amplifier drives a speaker, it is driving the speaker terminals with AC voltage. The following demo shows how the magnitude of cone movement increases when the volume is increased (and a higher voltage signal is driven into the speaker).

The next diagram shows a detailed view of the voice coil and the magnetic gap. News and information about meteor showers, solar flares, auroras, and near-Earth asteroids. Flightradar24.com - Live flight tracker! Heavens-Above Home Page. Sleepyti.me bedtime calculator.
