Neso Academy

Neso Academy is an education channel that publishes free lecture series on engineering and computer science subjects. Its aim is to make learning more accessible to people who cannot pay for expensive courses.

The channel is organised into full courses, such as digital electronics, theory of computation, machine learning and programming. A newer series covers VHDL, a language used to design digital circuits. Each lecture is short and focused on one idea, with slides and handwritten notes. The style is like a classroom lecture. Courses are arranged in order, so a viewer can start at the beginning of a subject and work through it. Shorter videos also explain individual ideas, such as how a multiplexer works or how to evaluate a machine learning model.

Some highlights include:

An introduction to VHDL programming, a language used to describe and design digital electronic circuits.

An introduction to regular expressions, a way of describing patterns in text that is used throughout computing.

A guide to installing Xilinx Vivado, software used to design circuits for programmable chips.

The channel has over 3.2 million subscribers.

Neso Academy is useful for students who want to see what studying electronic engineering or computer science at university is like. It connects to careers in digital electronics, chip design and software engineering. It works best as a study resource rather than something to watch for fun.
