Basil Alnasan (م. باسل عبدالمنعم), a software engineer from Madinah, Saudi Arabia, teaches bachelor-level university computer science courses as recorded video lectures explained in Arabic, with technical terms and code kept in English.

- Audience: Arabic-speaking university students in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf taking computer science, software engineering and AI courses taught in English.
- Format: recorded lectures hosted on Loom, following one university course session by session through a semester. One free full lecture per course is public on its course page.
