Khan Academy's Computer Science Curriculum Launched. Geeky Hi-Five!

Alrighty geeks! This is a total party time for all you guys, as your best free source of educational videos has rolled out its computer science #-Link-Snipped-#. John Resig, the academy's JavaScript expert stated in a Tweet that these videos will 'blow the doors off computer science education' and people will have loads of fun learning these. This program basically targets people with zero programming knowledge, where the learning would be more inclined towards creativity and exploration, plus also accessible to people from all age-groups.

As of now, the curriculum comprises basics of programming, drawing using JavaScript, user interaction and animation. Apart from video tutorials, it also has active text entry fields which allows the learner to program as well as show outputs in real time as they continue typing the codes. Their work could be saved as they wade through the courses.

Check out the video presenting the new curriculum:
