This course aims to teach learners how to think like a computer science professor by observing the instructor code a project from scratch without referencing the Internet. The course covers various topics such as project planning, canvas setup, procedural drawing, control points, image processing, OOP, linear algebra, particle systems, face tracking, and debugging. The teaching method involves a hands-on approach where learners follow along with the instructor's coding process. This course is intended for individuals interested in gaining insight into the problem-solving and coding thought process of a computer science professional.
