Course Title: 💻 How Computers Work for Programmers - Unlock the Secrets of Computer Architecture and Operating Systems with Dr. Gilad James

Course Headline: 🚀 Dive Deep into Computer Structure and Mastery over the Operating System as a Programmer!

Learn the Anatomy of Your Digital Workbench!

Course Description:

Are you a programmer who's ever felt like you're driving a car without understanding its engine? You've written your code, but have you ever stopped to think about what happens when you hit 'Run'? If you've ever wondered how the Operating System manages the hardware and software of your computer, then this is the course for you!

📚 What to Expect:

• Comprehensive Understanding: This isn't just a surface-level overview; it's a deep dive into the core components that make up a computer. You'll learn about the CPU, memory, storage, and input/output systems.

• Beyond the Basics: Sure, you've learned the basics of programming, but how does the hardware interact with software at a fundamental level? We're going to explore that, from the low-level code that makes up the Linux kernel to the essential system libraries and more.

• Hands-On Experience: Think of this course as your computer science shop class. You'll get your hands dirty with practical exercises, pulling apart and understanding the inner workings of a two-stroke motor (metaphorically speaking) before attempting to tackle the complexity of a Formula One engine (the modern operating systems).

🔍 What You'll Learn:

• Computer Architecture: Understand how computers are structured, from the CPU to I/O devices.

• Operating System Fundamentals: Discover how an OS manages tasks, processes, memory management, and device communication.

• System Programming: Learn about writing programs that interact directly with the system, including system calls, file I/O, and process control.

• Real-World Applications: Apply your newfound knowledge to real-world scenarios, enhancing your ability to troubleshoot, optimize, and secure software applications.

🧠 Why This Matters:

As a programmer, understanding how computers work at the most fundamental level isn't just about writing code; it's about thinking like a computer scientist. You'll develop a deeper appreciation for the resources you're using and gain insights that will elevate your programming skills to new heights.

🎓 Who This Course Is For:

• Programmers: Whether you're just starting out or have years of experience, this course will enhance your understanding of what's happening under the hood of every program you write.

• Computer Science Students: This is your chance to bridge the gap between theory and practice, making you a more well-rounded computer scientist.

• Aspiring Tech Leaders: Gain the knowledge to make informed decisions that affect system performance and user experience.
