What sort of compiler class were you looking for?

You can work through a book that uses a more modern approach like Siek's Essentials of Compilation which comes in Racket [0] and Python flavors.

Teach Yourself CS also has some more classic recommendations [1].

You may also be interested in using a language from the ML family [2] to implement a compiler [3].

Cornell also has a self-paced graduate level course [4].

Also I wish the juniors on my team would do this book. It has helped me so much. Just not directly.

Btw, if you enjoyed the book you might like this:

I'd love to have the time to work through it as I think the level of in depth knowledge it provides would be the best thing for me as a programmer.

I found it through:

Thanks for the suggestion! I'm following the website https://teachyourselfcs.com/ , which also mentions this course. It looks very good so far.

Basically, prioritize books/textbooks over tutorials/guides/papers until you've mastered the material in undergraduate textbooks.

A subset of the resources listed there are probably the most pragmatic for the topics you asked, but you might discover that you're interested in other areas of CS as you slowly work through them. I think it's ok to nibble away at exercises while juggling your family and work obligations.

* Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs - SICP. If the book doesn't necessarily click right away, doing a subset of the Scheme exercises are still worthwhile.

I never formally studied computer science and didn't feel it held me back as a web developer. I did some easy exercises on LeetCode occasionally and read about data structures and algorithms when I had free time. However, it was never serious, and the lack of consistent practice prevented me from building a strong foundation. But with my current goals, this area has become very important. After some research, I found this set of resources at teachyourselfcs.com, and it seems to be exactly what I need. For practice, I plan to choose challenges from LeetCode or a similar platform.

If you are going the broad CS route, do you want a degree, or do you just want the knowledge? If you want a degree, maybe start at a JC, then transfer to a UC or CSU (locally...Sac State). If you just want the knowledge, there are a number of websites out there like OSSU or Teach Yourself CS or this one on Github.

Here are pretty much all the classes you would need to take to get a computer science degree.

I'm self-studying, and stuck between taking online calculus courses or use UK textbooks to learn further maths. I'm learning maths for a career in CS, following advice online(loose guidelines from a github). Most sources say to learn calculus for CS, however I've seen that A-Level maths is calculus and further maths is less calculus? I'm just confused, there are resources for calculus online so I could do either. My other line of thinking is that if UK has maths/further maths then that must be enough for Universities here... If anyone can give any advice or just point me in the right direction that would be great!

Also check this repository out. It has some useful resources that will give you an edge over others. https://github.com/ForrestKnight/open-source-cs Don't use it right now. Start it when you have learnt a bit of HTML, CSS, Javascript. When you become familiar with these and have built some projects then you will need to up your game. At that point you will be needing this repository.

You're in luck!! https://github.com/ForrestKnight/open-source-cs

https://github.com/ForrestKnight/open-source-cs is getting on a bit, but a lot of great info.
