CS193H video preview

January 6, 2009 10:17 am | 45 Comments

My class at Stanford, CS193H High Performance Web Sites, was videotaped. Stanford does this so that people enrolled through the Stanford Center for Professional Development, who work fulltime, can watch the class at offhours. SCPD also makes some of the class videos available to the public. I’m currently talking with SCPD about releasing my videos, but in the meantime they’ve released the video of my first class. This lecture covers the logistics of the class (syllabus, mailing list, etc.). I’ve released all the slides from the class. You can find links to the slides in the class schedule. Anyone going through the slides should watch this intro video to get a flavor for how the class was conducted.

If you would be interested in watching the videos from this class, please add a comment below. The more interest there is, the more likely SCPD will be to make the videos available.

Update: The videos are now available! Thanks for all the positive feedback. You can watch the first three lectures for free. The entire 25 lectures have a tuition of $600. The videos are offered as XCS193H on SCPD.

    I would love to be able to view these videos. I wish I could have had a class like this in college.

    I’m planning on taking a similar class at the Harvard Extension School and would love to have your videos to work from as well. More info available means better, faster, websites in the world.

  6. Ryan Doherty | 06-Jan-09 at 1:08 pm | Permalink |

    Yes, please put the videos online! I’m really interested and I’m sure they would get lots of traffic.

  7. Kirk Jackson | 06-Jan-09 at 1:16 pm | Permalink |

    Yes please!

  8. Ben Boyle | 06-Jan-09 at 5:13 pm | Permalink |

    That would be great. More resources are always useful :)

  9. Weston Ruter | 06-Jan-09 at 5:27 pm | Permalink |

    I’d _love_ to glean from the videos of your class. I looked over the final exam, and it had very intriguing problems to solve. I’d love to get the background.

  10. Dave Nixon | 06-Jan-09 at 5:28 pm | Permalink |

    I would be very interested in the class videos, or failing that the slides.

  11. Lenny Rachitsky | 06-Jan-09 at 9:58 pm | Permalink |

    For an intro-to-the-class video, it was surprisingly compelling. I think that proves I’m a total geek.

  12. Lenny Rachitsky | 06-Jan-09 at 9:59 pm | Permalink |

    Oh ya, one more in support of more videos. Would love to see the guest speakers as well.

  13. Alik Levin | 06-Jan-09 at 10:49 pm | Permalink |

    I am interested. Please share!

  14. Joe Strazzere | 07-Jan-09 at 5:17 am | Permalink |

    Please add me to the list of software professionals interested in viewing the class videos.

    I agree with Russell, +1 for sharing videos, but -20 for Silverlight

    I definitely the other classes online. I don’t see HSWS vol 2 at Amazon yet, can you give us an eta?

    Thx!

    Another question about the exams score. If a student had an IIS web hosting and has the same results as a student hosting on Apache, had he a better score? Since almost all documentation is available for Apache and there are just few free ISS dll’s that would do the same jobs as standard Apache modules+htaccess :)

    I’d be very interested in watching further videos, in a format other than Silverlight.

    Please do. Make these videos publicly available, that would be a HUGE favour.

  34. Marcel Duran | 12-Jan-09 at 5:30 pm | Permalink |

    It would be great having these videos available, please share them. SCPD definitely will be helping internet sites performance. m4v format would be much better though.

    It will be very useful to have access to the videos.

  38. Bassel Mourjan | 24-Jan-09 at 7:07 am | Permalink |

    watching your google IO lecture about web performance was of great benefit to me and brought very good results on tweaked projects. Although I wish that I was a student attending your classes I hope that your videos get published for the public, which would be of great help to distant developers where there are no relevant experienced seniors to learn from.
    do u have another post where you list an intern job opening where i can post my resume? :)

  39. mo | 25-Jan-09 at 9:51 am | Permalink |

    I saw you speak the Ajaxian conference this year and I would absolutely be interested in watching your class lectures. Thanks!

    I would be very interested

  44. GRG | 23-May-09 at 5:58 am | Permalink |

    Yes, please. I’ve been able to utilize Yslow and the rules for faster websites to dramatically improve performance on some of my sites. I’d really enjoy the ability to watch the entire class online. Thank you so much for your help. It really is the easiest and fastest way to make significant performance gains on sites.

    The videos are now available. They’re accessible through as XCS193H on SCPD. The first three are free, but the cost is $600 to watch all 25 lectures. You can read more about it on my blog post.
