Discussing Real Programmers from the early days of computing with Dr Julian Onions n. b When Julian mentions Real. How do logic gates store information We explore how computer memory works with Dr Steve Heartbleed Bagley Domino. The PDP1 was a groundbreaking computer from the 1950's but where does it fit into computing history and how would you use it.
How not to code with our real programmer who as Julian explains is demoing what NOT to do Dr Julian Onions tells us more. Programming loops are great but there's a point where they aren't enough Professor Brailsford explains EXTRA BITS. Breaking the unbreakable loop More on how self-modifying code can be a neat hack that's almost unmaintainable Dr Julian. Relatively speedy-to-access cache saves your computer having to trudge over to the RAM but with multiple levels of cache.
Rust has memory management built in Ian Knight takes us through some of its features Garbage Collection video. How did punch card systems work Professor Brailsford delves further into the era of mainframe computing with this hands-on. Program Correctness is incredibly important in computing particularly in hardware design Professor Graham Hutton takes us.
