What will I learn?
Crash Course Computer Science provides a quick, hands-on way to work confidently with digital texts. You'll build a basic analysis tool, specify inputs and outputs, and grasp how data is modelled, stored, and indexed. Master simple algorithms for tokenisation, frequency counts, and entity extraction, along with essential ideas on bias, ethics, networking, and file formats to handle small, useful text projects independently.
