Teach Yourself Computer Science
Hey! So, I was going through HackerNews posts, and I found something called Teach Yourself Computer Science. I know there are a lot of you who are enthusiastic about programming, and some of you are probably in college getting a CS degree, or already obtained a CS degree.
I just wanted to point you guys to this resource in case you haven't heard of it. It's an opinionated outline of the path you can take to teach yourself CS using mostly free resources, almost to the level of what an undergraduate college student might take to earn a Bachelor's Degree (as it is known in the US).
Slight warning: 1 or 2 textbooks might need to be purchased if this outline is strictly followed. But as far as the videos are concerned, they are free courses you can find on YouTube or Coursera.
A couple notes: Computer Science is not just programming. Programming is a major part, but CS is a broad field consisting of Math, Physics, even Chemistry, and some basic electrical engineering. Therefore, don't expect to just learn to program. CS is generally a rigorous academic program consisting of theory and filled with, in my opinion, many interesting critical thinking problems.
I'll tell you what, supplement this with FreeCodeCamp or TheOdinProject curricula, and you'll master programming and/or CS in due time! Well, that's not completely true. Things like this are never truly mastered.
I really enjoy procuring resources like this. So let me know if you guys find these things helpful.
Even though I already have a background in all of this stuff, I am of the opinion that there is always something to learn, even from beginner content. Not to say I spend a lot of time going through every such resource, but I think it's nice to just browse through these things to see if anything is worth learning or brushing up on.
