cs-topics VS pijFORTHos

HtDP [0], CS50x [1], and whatever strikes your interest from teachyourselfcs [2], in that order.

Also highly recommend the book for nand2Tetris after CS50.

This is a really good fundamentals resource: https://teachyourselfcs.com/ They list books and videos.

Study computer science, either through college or via teachyourselfcs.com.

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.

https://teachyourselfcs.com/ also has a bunch of great resources for CS fundamentals.

Knowledge in a programming language is not complete without a full CS education. I recently found out this site: https://teachyourselfcs.com/

what's your opinion on teachyourselfcs.com for the fundamentals?

And having run across jonesForth (https://github.com/organix/pijFORTHos/tree/master/annexia read the .s file and then the .f file) and basically the idea of building your own personal software stack from scratch, but part of the problem is just having hardware that wasn’t designed to be super complicated to interface with (like USB being much more complicated than PS/2 or wiring up your own grid of switches for a keyboard).

I want to write one for bare metal (non-Linux) raspberry pi (ARMv6 32 bit on Raspberry Pi 1 and Zero; ARMv7 and ARMv8 on higher models and also supports 64 bit). I want to have no dependencies required though so was thinking of bootstrapping it with nothing but machine code (determined initially with the help of an assembler and documentation of course). Someone has already ported jonesforth the Raspberry Pi[1] but using serial i/o as the user interface and it has dependecies to build it, but I should be able to get ideas from how they coded their assembly parts compared to the original jonesforth. I want to be able to use HDMI for the screen (already tried it out with some bare metal tutorials in assembly so that's do-able) and again, with no dependencies. And I want to show people how to do it themselves, not just have it be something to run that they don't understand fully. It should also be possible to have the forth kernel build/assemble itself if needed, or cross-target another platform.

I know I'm all talk right now, like you say, I need to manage my free time so that I would have the "copious free time" to work on this.
