cs-topics
My personal curriculum covering basic CS topics. This might be useful for self-taught developers... A work in development! This might take a very long time to get finished! (by ahmaazouzi)

Show HN: I made a cheaper alternative to college-level math and physics tutoring
There is a Discord server for the OSSU computer science cirriculum that is pretty active. https://github.com/ossu/computer-science

Final project took me longer than expected, but I got there in the end.
For a well-rounded CS knowledge you might want to look into OSSU, which is designed to meet the requirements for univerisity CS courses.

Learning coding
There’s also a compiled CS curriculum here: https://github.com/ossu/computer-science.

Is codecademy worth it and where else can I learn
OP I hate to double comment and be "that guy who learned to code without going to college who MUST he did it the correct way" cause fuck "that guy". He's annoying, and he never shuts up, and I try really hard not to be that guy.... But I wanna provide some extra reasons I feel you should stay away from Code Academy. And as I said before, not because they're bad courses, so let me be that guy just for a brief moment. In addition to random Youtubers straight up having high quality courses that are much more update date, they often have supplemental tutorials on niche things that aren't covered in a "101 course". But even then, maybe the idea of a certificate on your resume appeals to you... Well, turns out there's more "academic" courses online you can do to get more of those things that self-taught dumbasses like me aren't as strong with because we skipped the "academic" part of learning..... If that's what makes Code Academy appealing (which I don't think they even go over much.... but still)... then here's 2 things I'd look at before pulling out your wallet. Here's Harvards entire introduction to Computer Science courses provided for anyone to take for free (you can pay for a certificate, but its straight up $0.00 to take the classes) Heres a github repo for an Open Source University that a ton of devs have curated to give a simulated full degree program If you want to focus hardcore on being a Web Developer and are frustrated by there not being tutorials that show you exactly how to handle every step from "there's no website on my computer" to "holy shit I made a website", then here you go The Odin Project is an Open Source answer to your cries of frustration. It has curriculum paths that do exactly that. The goal is to go from zero programming knowledge to fully employable as a web developer (by skill level at least, obviously you'll need to build stuff and build a resume)

CMV: People should not be referred to as "Engineers" unless they have a degree in the appropriate field
That said, I'm a software developer and I don't see any point in the distinction of calling someone a software or computer engineer based on education (with the exception of electronics engineers that work on hardware, but here I'm talking about software). A BSc or BEng in computer science or software development can give you a headstart but nothing that can't be self taught and in hiring I've been shocked by many postgrad engineers that couldn't answer simple questions and were outdone by self taught engineers. Make no mistake though - education is required (e.g. you're not going to learn data structures and algorithms through osmosis), but it doesn't have to be formalised as a degree.

After finishing cs50 python, what’s next? What did everybody do? I see there’s an ai course in python.. but not sure if im ready for that yet..
My plan is to follow the training program that the OSSU (Open Source Society University) provides in order to really delve into the topic and learn more. Check out this link for more info: https://github.com/ossu/computer-science

NÃO QUERO FICAR PARA TRÁS!
se vc quer literalmente ficar a frente do seu curso, ent é só usar o ossu/computer-science.
- What is the best low level programming language to learn for someone who knows only python?
-
I want to be a software engineer?
If someone's completed CS50X and W any recommendation where to carry on https://github.com/ossu/computer-science I'm thinking from core maths onwards seems reasonable.
-
My university spits out mediocre professionals, but I want to be more
For fundamentals, https://github.com/ossu/computer-science is a reasonable way to make sure you're covering them.

HN how do I learn to code?
HtDP [0], CS50x [1], and whatever strikes your interest from teachyourselfcs [2], in that order.
Also highly recommend the book for nand2Tetris after CS50.

Ask HN: Programming Courses for Experienced Coders?
This is a really good fundamentals resource: https://teachyourselfcs.com/ They list books and videos.

Difference between learning programming and learning a language?
Study computer science, either through college or via teachyourselfcs.com.

Considering coding bootcamp
In the current market it's better to just put some resources together and learn from platforms like OSSU or Odin Project or FreeCodeCamp to really dip your toes in. The bootcamp era was a byproduct of interest rates at the time and shoveling in as many bodies as they could into the field. You can literally build a curicullum yourself for 6 months and see how you like it while working retail or whatever else. Or for the more technical side: teachyourselfcs.com gives you some ideas if you wanna start actual cs concepts.

What should I look at for making a systems programming language/compiled programming language?
https://teachyourselfcs.com/ also has a bunch of great resources for CS fundamentals.

Where can I learn C?
Knowledge in a programming language is not complete without a full CS education. I recently found out this site: https://teachyourselfcs.com/
- Ka daryt?
- Sou Dev Junior e preciso da sua orientação pois não fiz faculdade de programação.
