Computer Science (compsci112358)

Computer Science (compsci112358) is a coding channel about Python, C, machine learning and artificial intelligence. Its aim is to teach these topics by applying them to real-world problems.

Most videos are hands-on Python projects. Many use data from financial markets to try out prediction and machine learning techniques. Others build small apps or graphics, or explain basic steps such as running Python from the command prompt. The videos show the code being written and explained line by line.

Some highlights include:

A walkthrough of building a simple expense tracker in Python, a good first project for new programmers.

An introduction to a machine learning method called a random forest, used to make predictions from past data.

A short guide to running Python programs from the command prompt, a useful early skill.

The channel has around 115,000 subscribers.

The channel is useful for students learning Python who want to see how it is used on real data. Machine learning and data analysis are growing areas of software engineering and data science. Viewers should note that the stock market videos are coding exercises, not financial advice. The projects are short enough to copy and then extend, which is one of the best ways to build confidence with a new language. Coding along, then changing the data or the question, turns each video into a small project of your own. That kind of independent project also makes a strong talking point in a university or apprenticeship application.
