2008 Lecture Videos

Mehran Sahami's 2008 offering of CS 106A was recorded by SCPD and put on Youtube. Though the course has changed somewhat since then, the videos are still useful, so we post them here for you to view.

Please note that the lectures do not line up perfectly with what we will cover this quarter, but we are still providing these videos as a convenience. You are responsible for keeping up with what is covered in our lectures, and these videos may not cover 100% of that material.
