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