Think Like a Computer Science Professor

See how to think like a computer science professor. You will observe Radu’s thought process as he codes a project for the first time. Many tutorials demonstrate how to build something that the instructor has already fully planned out beforehand. But in this video you learn what really goes into building a project from scratch. And he does it all without even referencing the Internet. Radu Mariescu-Istodor has a PhD in computer science. He teaches computer science at a university as well as on his YouTube channel. 🔗 Radu's channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/RaduMariescuIstodor 🔗 Radu's website: https://radufromfinland.com ❤️ Try interactive Python courses we love, right in your browser: https://scrimba.com/freeCodeCamp-Python (Made possible by a grant from our friends at Scrimba) ⭐️ Contents ⭐️ ⌨️ (00:00:00) Intro / showcase ⌨️ (00:01:32) Quick planning ⌨️ (00:03:25) Canvas project setup ⌨️ (00:09:21) Trying to remember how drawImage works :-)) ⌨️ (00:18:58) Figured out I need to let it load first ⌨️ (00:20:29) Helper code for getting coordinates ⌨️ (00:22:27) Beginning procedural drawing ⌨️ (00:29:16) Normalizing the space for symmetrical drawing ⌨️ (00:48:32) Control point for head rotation ⌨️ (00:56:48) Slider for head x rotation ⌨️ (01:13:44) Rotating the head on X ⌨️ (01:17:27) Rotating the head on Y ⌨️ (01:28:14) Adding more control points ⌨️ (01:59:31) Drawing eyes ⌨️ (02:26:59) Styling the eyes ⌨️ (02:42:42) Drawing the beard ⌨️ (03:22:51) Drawing the nose ⌨️ (03:27:25) Spoiler (I never get the nose to look better) ⌨️ (03:31:35) Drawing hair ⌨️ (03:51:48) Skin, Neck & Body ⌨️ (04:07:43) Drawing the clothes ⌨️ (04:24:15) Some fine-tuning ⌨️ (04:43:00) Drawing the ears ⌨️ (04:53:50) Polishing and commenting code ⌨️ (05:17:41) Camera setup ⌨️ (05:34:27) Image processing: Isolating blue pixels ⌨️ (05:49:36) Moving avatar with camera ⌨️ (05:55:59) Plan for day 2 (Important) ⌨️ (06:02:32) Code refactoring with OOP ⌨️ (06:15:43) Ditching the idea* above an
