What's Next?

First, congratulations again! Writing your first computer program is a big deal!

Now, I want to give you a warning: the next few videos and quizzes are highly theoretical. They have titles like "Language Ambiguity" and "Backus Naur Form" and they go over a lot of material pretty quickly. You may find yourself overwhelmed.

That's okay. You don't need to remember any of it. I've decided to include these videos for three reasons:

When I took this course, I found this theoretical side of programming very interesting and I suspect other students will too (even if it isn't too useful at this point).
There's a difference between computer programming and computer science and this is a great example of what it means to do computer science.
Gaining exposure to these ideas is helpful even if you don't master them.

So watch these videos and attempt the quizzes. But don't worry if you feel confused. You can move on in the Nanodegree program and you'll be absolutely fine.
