The way the professor talks is so understandable that he should start live streaming all his lectures...this kind of people we need to learn..

The best interview with Dr. Chuck. This was the ultimate pinnacle of computer science I have listened in 40+ minutes on KZfaq. Absolute ingenious and made me think of problem solving a little better

When I learned C it just made everything that I'd learned about programming and programming languages so much clearer ad gave me a better understanding of why we do things a certain way. Keep up the good work David, I love your content.

About 3/4 through with Chuck's PY4E course and its great! Been slacking lately but that's all on me, he's a *fantastic* teacher and such a *gem* for making this freely available to all!

One of my favorite guests on your youtube channel, David. Thank you!

Absolutely pivotal content for me at this point in my coding journey... The Contexts and insights opened the real world of coding up. Suddenly it all makes sense.

The beauty of C and the ability to abstract the software is that it works both ways. The hardware is now decoupled from the software as well allowing BOTH paths to improve/iterate independent of the other, but but influenced by needs and features wanted. Very great conversation!!!

Always glad to see and hear Dr. Chuck! ❤🎉

Two gems at the same time David, you have a great channel which is so focused on what you show and Dr Chuck, what a great personality I watched the Path to master programmer another superb video with so much gifts in it I learnt C on Unix about 20 years back and I fell in love with it Have been out of the loop for a while but this post from you and Dr. Chuck I am going to brush up on it and while simultaneously checking out RUST. More power to you David Keep it coming

First time here David. I enjoyed this interview and I really appreciate "your silence" letting the expert share his knowledge. I has great value!!!! Thanks for this and subscribed now...

Top notch content as always. Thanks for making these type of videos, any aspiring or growing IT pro should watch this

Thank you for bringing on all of these awesome people David. Very cool.

Seems like brain absorbs different when you hear the story from fisrt hand. Great talk/video David. Thanks both for taking the time. 👌👏🙌

Thanks Dr. Chuck and David for sharing the knowledge and insights.

I watched Dr Chuck's master programmer video on your channel last night.That video really helped me. I'm all set to take his python course first then django and C. He's really inspirational to me.

New year with 🔥 content from you David sir.

I like the clear and concise manner that the Professor explains the reasoning behind learning several core languages may be the best way to become competent in programming. Thank you and your guest for sharing his valuable insights!

Awesome interview. A big thanks to Dr Chuck for providing us access to the site. Bonus points for Douglas Adams/racecar password.

great stuff, love these interviews from Dr. Chuck

Looking forward to that C and Assembly knowledge from Dr. Chuck, what an exciting year

C is the language of love! I still have my '78 and '88 White books. Learning to "color inside the lines" in C makes you a super coder in almost any other language. All hail uncle Dennis! (may he RIP)

I like the Dr. Chuck approach ... got also some of his Coursera courses ... Happy New Year 2023 from Germany !

Shalom and thank you Dr. C for taking the time to create all the courses you have created and to teach for free.

This is some instructive material. Thank you both!

happy new year DAVID sir!! , thank you for another great content..

A brilliant discussion. I had the benefit of a broad Comp Sci education, thirty years ago, and I find the general concepts are still applicable. I was also involved in certification for network engineers, and Chuck's comments about vendor education is spot-on.

Dr. Chuck was on 🔥 I'm currently taking his Django for everybody course and it's been awesome. there is so much to learn in the world of computers. thank David, such an awesome video.

Thanks for the great video David bombal and Dr chuck's 😍😍

Very awesome, hope to be invited again many times more in the future, thank you David

Extraordinary! Thank you! I'll enjoy each of his links! Would you please ask Dr. Chuck to have another podcast with you, discussing AI and ChatGPT? In what ways will AI change the most valuable skills a programmer needs to learn and master?

Mr David i am glad that i embarked your channel due to flipper zero and subscribe. Dr Chuck was so inspirational and has kindel the joy of computer science, it's been a tough 2 year of 4 year journey of computer science and have no pasion towards computer science. I hope I can change it now, thankyou Dr Chuck.

Eagerly waiting for this course to come out . C is love.

WOW! Dr. Chuck! I just finished his intro course to Python on Coursera. Seeing him on David Bombal's channel is a huge validation.

Dr. Chuck really takes the time to make a good course took almost all his courses on coursera, great instructor, he understands how teach without cramping information in students minds without planing

The editing is brilliant!

Wow, I've been working in the industry for decades, (minor programming "Fortran & Foxbase") and then infrastructure; making sure the servers and networks are optimized for performance. this quick overview on application layer programming has really opened my eyes on how the industry developed.

What a fun interview! I have a copy of the C book - it was one of the first books about programming I bought in late 1970s. I am not a professional programmer but know enough to understand what my professionals do. I totally agree that programming should be taught as a apprentice ship! And finished with a PhD if appropriate for the person. I've played with and created useful things in RCA 1802 machine code, basic, VB, Java, Fortran, MUMPS and Python. Programming should be fun and progressive. Thank you!

Fantastic video and a peek at computer history. Thank you.

Thanks, David and Dr.

Dr. Chuck is so good....Thanks for this David.

Much respect David. Thanks so so much

I'm addicted to this channel. Such interesting quality videos about subjects I didn't know or care before.

Dr Chuck is amazing! Same, for you :D Thank you David for interviewing him!

Watching this video is so pleasant, love the way this guy gets excited about his work as a professor and content creator. C is a non intiutive language to learn IMO, looking forward to this course to see if It changes my mind. Thanks @david for this Jewel.

Love listening to both of these gentlemen.

I bought the ‘78 edition of K&R’s C Programming Language book, in ‘78! I used C to write many data communications programs, from emulators to communications servers, and masses of other programs, on all sorts of platforms. I do not agree that C is unsafe; it’s the person who writes the program that usually cuts corners. I’m one of the ‘vintage’ programmers who also believes that, today, programs (call them ‘apps’ if you want to) are not sufficiently tested before being put into production, whatever language they might be written in. Testing, thoroughly testing, is essential.

You can feel the passion! I love dr chuck ❤

Fascinating interview.

8 minutes in… this guy is truly passionate and a true master… he wants to make sure that this is passed on and and people understand and able to teach it…

The Great Dr., I luv ur deliberation because it's exquisite.

Severance is my fav online instructor. He is so fluent and clear with what he teaches and his curriculum is fantastic and goes into depth about every subject before moving on. The best teacher

This is a content rich talk, in which I don't even feel the time passing by. That is amazing!

Always a treat

Dr Chuck...........wow so nice to see him after so long, I remember taking his courses on Coursera!!!!

Very interesting speech covering the IT evolution rocket by C language. I bought that C book in the late 70's. Even not being a professional programmer I noticed there was something revolutionary in that C language.

Started learning Rust a month ago. No regrets so far. I've done threaded programming in Java, so the memory model seems logical to me, and it's much more organized than C++ where it's easy to ignore smart pointers without marking the unsafe code.

Very interesting interview, thanks.

I enjoyed this video more than a movie!! I started studying computers in the early 1980s. My favourite programming languages are C, Python, PHP and PC assembler. Nice to see a man of the calibre of Dr Chuck, liking the same stuff as I do. Although I moved into DevOps, programming is still my first love ... and this video motivated me to go back to my first love and do what I love - then a job turns into "playing". I miss playing ... (and getting paid to do it 😀)

Character oriented processing was being done in the mid-1960's. Commercially it was available in 1968. Operating systems were built using assembler where the programming language(s) were interpreted and thus portable to different machines as the hardware evolved. This was used heavily in medical systems. The time share executive, language interpreter and database were all included in a system which then ran on Digital Equipment, Data General, Tandem, HP, Prime, IBM, and other mini-computers. This was extended to the micro computers when they came about. Our company ran 12 users on a 80286 (PC/AT) back in 1983. Microsoft wondered how we could do it. 🙂So, my point is to say that from my vantage point, 1978 was no magic year as explained in this video. BTW: I have a copy of "The C Programming Language" 1978 edition, which is in like new condition. I have worked programming clinical systems since 1974 and have never really had a need to use C, other than to use it for illustrations.

When someone has a clear passion for both technology and education!! Super inspirational!

Thanks for this invaluable Video my Career Coach David B.

What is discussed here is what I lived. Started programming in 1967 in an SDS 910 in assembly language. Learned Fortran, then used it on Data General Minicomputers. Wrote a compiler for the DG to create structured assembly. Never heard of C until the first PC's came out with Borland C, then Turbo-C. worked with Motorola 68000's in C, then moved to Freescale Coldfire in C. Application was Communications for Meteor Burst and Line of sight messaging and data acquisition. Not at 83 I sit at home playing with Windows-10 using Microsoft Visual Studio. I never had time or funding to learn C++, but I have all of Stroustrup's books and have read them, but without a motivating project, not started the brain transition.

Dr Chuck is a great and knowledgeable teacher another great guest David

¡ Happy New Year 2023 ! ¡ Happy Coding New Year ! I really enjoyed and learned from this video

Great Job Sir, vry vry expensive conversation heard in my whole collage life,,, Thank You so much

Thanks master David from Morocco 💪

Very informative, thanks David ---- and answer is 42

Learning in a practical way what is it and how it can be made is a must for professionals: several technologies and programming languages covering most important concepts, design patterns, use cases is a better start for professional work than learning just one but too deep specialized. I learned first foundations (mathematics, physics, hardware: electricity, electronics, circuits, micro electronics chips) and after that software (BASIC, Assembler, Fortran, C, Pascal, C++, Java, C#, JavaScript, SQL).

Wow .. What a trip down memory lane. For the first time, I could relate - from the 262-bit word format for larger mainframe systems to the 8-bit byte for PDP/8e machines back in the day

Rust does not have garbage collection. It is unique among programming languages, it is memory safe without it because it has borrow checker. That is how zero cost abstraction is accomplished, there is no waiting for unused memory to be released automatically.

Love you David ❤️❤️ big fan

#DavidBombal - Great video. Your videos keep getting better. Thanks for all the free content you put out!

This man is such an inspiration! Wish I woulda found him sooner.

Thanks for this super video

God bless you bro 👍

The knowledge just flows when Dr Chuck is in the house. Congrats to both of your for educating the community with real and relevant knowledge.

Lots of love and happy new yar David from India🇮🇳

I wish my 1st..& thus Only ,,CS Professor cared as much as Dr. Chuck obviously does...

Thanks for the great video on python tools and C very interesting and great programming languages

Dr. Chuck rocks!🎉

My first computer was an Altos 586 running Altos Xenix, and I learned to program in C with the original edition K&R C book, and the AT&T Unix Version 7 programmers manual vol 1 & 2.

I love learning , excellent content

Interesting. In the late 90's I became injured on a job site and went back to the University and at first studied mathematics followed by obtaining a graduate degree in theoretical mathematics with emphasis on probability. However as a undergraduate I minored in computer science thus learned the high level flavor of the day aka C++ and later Fortran 90 because I worked as a graduate assistant for an atmospheric scientist. I actually found high level language coding fun and like being on vacation compared to theoretical mathematics where really understanding why a theorem is valid can be a several days long journey full of wrong assumptions with coding more like building a house using pre-defined functions rather than studs and joists. Now, at age 67 and being years since I coded my memory of syntax has pretty much disappeared with respect to Fortran 90 and C++, but not the essential or underlying functionality of features of coding. Thus, today having a desire to code again for a project I have on my horizon I find Python which I am teaching myself an easy and fun endeavor. Now, if you look at low level languages which I find very interesting because it provides a much deeper understanding of the machine itself fun or seeming like taking a vacation from theoretical mathematics is a different story.....

Here we go💗❤❤❤❤❤

Really beautiful video

Thank you legends

Thank you!

dr chuck was on fire. just amazing!

Thanks 🙏

❤ just Awesome

This video is awesome.

This was really great to watch, but I'm interested to know why no reference was made to C# and the CLR.

I needed some high-performance numerical computing for my own engineering software. I used Ebay rather than Amazon for servers. Great deals on old servers on Ebay. Rust might be superior to C++, but I highly doubt that I can find the libraries I need for math calculations there, e.g. optimization, GUI development, etc... And Java's huge flaw is that as far as I know, it doesn't have a complex number data type nor the possibility of creating one (no operator overloading).

Bro 👏👏🔥

Great video! What’s coming next from iso C2x?

I was introduced to programming with C... Brutal introduction! The following year My class had to do Python and I requested to write the exam in just 2 weeks of class and scored 68% hha! Needed 60% to get exempted!

For me C++ without a doubt. It took the limitations but lowlevel goodness from C and added some nice abstraction for higher level programming on to it. It can do everything with ease. And adore C because first I came from assembly and learned C I was like: “where was this before?!?!” This is so easy and comfortable and fast! But I use the language most suited for the job although when I need to build something fast, I tend to use C++ because of the rote experience and the raw speed. I seldom use Python or Perl these days but in the past I did. A language is just a tool and you don’t take a screwdriver to hammer a nail into the wall, sure you’ll get there but it takes more effort than getting a hammer.

I really enjoyed the message to Apple at the end of the video. It would be great if they could hear it.

I wrote a B compiler on a PDP4 in 1976 for my compiler writing Class. It was better than anything available from DEC, sold a dozen copies! Was hired by USAF to develop correlation tracking algorithms. So I wrote a macro assembler based on the CDC BLASS assembler for a hand built parallel pipeline processor for tracking targets in an airborne laser weapons environment. It computed images faster than the same algorithm on a Cray-1 !
