Introspector Intro VideoThis is the first of a series of video recordings for explaining the introspector project.
I have decided that a simple personal introduction would be the best way to explain the background and purpose of the project.
The videos will be hosted on wikibooks.org/wiki/Introspector but also posted to youtube and other portals.
This video should be understandable to my friends and family but also interesting to fellow computer programmers.
The content will be split into modules so that people can skip over material that is not interesting to them.
We will cover many aspects of the introspector project and build a foundation for learning about computing in general.
I will explain what a compiler is, what programming languages are and try to also include the basics of computers for an introduction to computing.
In short, a compiler translates a human written and readable instructions into machine instructions for controlling the computer.
