Video Lectures on Mobile Communication

If you've been developing software all your life, learned about hardware and networking because they were 'related' but thought of mobile technology as 'interesting but irrelevant to my work', you've probably been looking for a way catch up from around the time you realized phones were starting to replace PC's.

I generally go out any buy myself a book when starting to learn anything new, but came across a pretty good series of lectures on YouTube, the first of which I thought I'd post here, for people who prefer to 'wait for the movie'.



Besides the fact that I now have a great way to supplement the book I'm reading, this video makes me happy for a few other reasons as well. First, it's good to see YouTube being used by educators, who probably don't have the funding to set up a program like MIT OnLine, but want to reach out and help people learn anyway. It's also great to see material coming out of the sub-continent, where we have problems and advantages unique to our environment when adopting any technology, that would be addressed in a curriculum originating here. Finally, based on the number of views, I'd say forty five thousand more people now know something more about wireless communication, thanks to Dr. Bose!

Accessing the channel directly will save you time looking for the parts of the series:
