or use youtube-dl on the youtube playlist

Here is the command for downloading all videos in playlist at 720p in a folder with the same name as the playlist's youtube-dl -o "%(playlist)s/%(playlist_index)s. %(title)s.%(ext)s" $YTplaylistLINK -f 22

Thanks for sharing! I'm trying the following, but it's not working.

youtube-dl -o "%(playlist)s/%(playlist_index)s. %(title)s.%(ext)s" https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUl4u3cNGP62K2DjQLRxD... -f 22

What is the correct format?

Working! Thank you :)

This is great! I just picked up the famous algorithms textbook (CLRS) and have been reading through (I'm just past the introduction and am moving in to chapters 1 - 3 (basing my schedule on the readings in this course)

I figure if I follow along in the videos it'll be a great compliment with the two of them enhancing each other.

Now if only I could find the "algorithms certificate" to go with it, maybe I could use this and my 15 years programming experience towards a master's program enrollment. (Along with a calculus and linear algebra)

Berkeley was making all of their lecture videos available to the public until they recently moved to EdX. Course videos from Spring 2015 and prior (going back as far as Spring 2010) can be accessed here: http://webcast.berkeley.edu/series.html#c,d,Computer_Science

I have been working through the cs core classes (61a/b/c) by following the syllabus from the semester corresponding to the videos for reading and homework assignments. A google search of course number and professor's last name has been the easiest method of finding the course website (not all of them use the Berkeley course page).

We didn't move them to EdX, we just made them private and available to Berkeley students only. I think this is because of some rulings stating that lecture videos have to be provided with CC if they are to be made public (OCW was sued for this).

This boogles my mind. How can you be sued for providing a free educational resource?

That's a damn shame.

Hey! If anyone's interested in an intro to algorithms, I'd like to pitch my book Grokking Algorithms[1]. It is an illustrated guide with a focus on being easy to read. I've gotten a lot of comments about how easy it is [2] [3] [4].

Sample chapter here [5].

That's great, what other courses there are updated ?

You can find a lot of other courses if you poke around the net. For example, 6.005 - Elements of Software Construction is "As taught in 2011" on OCW [1], but you can find the latest notes here [2]. The content hasn't changed a lot since 2011 though, and the changes are mostly in the order of which the content is presented. As a side note, this is is easily the best course out there for novice/intermediate programmers…

Thanks for posting those links, [3] in particular looks fascinating.
