Video Courses on "Computer Architecture" from MITx

It has been a long time since we posted links to courses in the field of Computer Architecture.

Guess what, there are some exciting courses coming up on Edx from MITx on the said field. If you are interested in the field of Digital Design or intend to design some of the cool systems which are used world wide, these courses are a good starting point to learning the underlying concepts.

These are also helpful if you intend to enter into the semiconductor industry(or maybe thinking of adding a new skill set to your portfolio) or wanting to refresh the basics or maybe thinking of preparing for interviews.

These courses are a part of Computation Structure series where you will be designing your own processor after learning the concepts.

Kindly do enroll and provide your feedback on the courses.

The starting dates and course names are also provided :


Computation Structures Part 1: Digital Circuits - starts September 6th
Computation Structures Part 2: Computer Architecture - starts November 29th
Computation Structures Part 3: Computer Organization - starts February 8th (2017)

See you there!! :)

PS : You will also get a certificate from MITx if you enroll in the paid version of the course.

Online course on "Computing Technology"

For all the computer enthusiasts (and those who want to learn about the basics of computer design), there is an online course which started recently. It covers most of the basics of processor design starting from digital electronics till the programming end(the different layers of development and also the various jobs that are built around those layers :) ).

The link to the course is  : The Computing Technology Inside Your Smartphone

The course, though may be named as the "The Computing Technology Inside Your Smartphone", covers the fundamental of computer architecture with the case study of Qualcomm's Snapdragon processor which is used in plethora of smartphones in modern day(Smartphones from a wide range of companies like Samsung, HTC, Lenovo, Xiomi, etc use Qualcomm's snapdragon SoC{SoC is semiconductor industry jargon for System-on-Chip} ).

Kindly enroll in this course as it starts from the basics and gives out a strong idea about how such a large computer (from the PC era) has shrunk to size where it can be accommodated in our pockets(the smartphone era).

Even if you do not know anything about the electronics, this course can definitely help lay a foundation of electronics. Moreover you will be designing one such processor yourself.

Cheers !!!

Happy Learning !!! :)
