The Intangible Cornerstone | Why "Coding" is Only Half the Story | The Real Computer Science

What is the "science" in Computer Science? It’s not just fast typing and green text on a screen—it’s a foundation of pure logic and abstract thought that existed long before the first modern computer.

In this video, we pull back the curtain on the invisible theories that power our digital world. We explore the massive difference between "coding" and "programming," revisit the pioneers like Alan Turing and Grace Hopper, and look at how prime numbers keep your bank account safe.

In this video, you’ll learn:

Why programming is "architecture" while coding is "craft."

How State Machines and Computational Complexity dictate what computers can (and can’t) do.

The evolution from binary "machine language" to human-readable code.

How to apply "Computational Thinking" to solve real-world problems.
