    https://teachyourselfcs.com . I have read few books from the list and found it to be comprehensive as well as manageable. The courses and books have been selected so that one can study it outside of regular university course. Books are self contained and full with exercises. It can easily take 1-2 years of serious effort to get through the material.

    Base your studies on Teach Yourself CS. If you finish one item from each of their courses you will be more knowledgeable than even many CS graduates. If you could finish every book and video series they recommend for each course you would be reasonably well prepared for amateur research.

    The book (and course, IIRC) is split across two books. The first one focuses on the lower level systems, and I believe the seconds one deals with the bootloader, language implementation, screen animation, and building the game.

    It doesn't look like there are multiple versions of the books, unless I'm missing something. I did the two versions of the course without the book, and really enjoyed both. Although the writers of https://teachyourselfcs.com/ only recommend the first one, so it depends what you want to get out of it and whether the approach resonates.

    I too suggest https://teachyourselfcs.com, it lists textbook and lecture recommendations for each topic. You need to get a grasp of the fundamentals, then you can adapt to any high-level engineering paradigm.

  • Discussion: SICS vs HtDP intro CS courses
    2 projects | /r/learnprogramming | 24 May 2023
    I have narrowed the "start" of my journey to the two video-curriculum-based classes mentioned above, each being pushed by their own open-source "undergrad education tracks." OSSU (https://github.com/ossu/computer-science) with HtDP and teachyourselfcs (https://teachyourselfcs.com/) with SICP. I started with OSSU as they have a verbose course-load with a large community, however I've had some MAJOR issues with the HtDP course that have really made me rethink that decision and would love to have some discussion & ideas from those that may have more/other experience and hopefully also create a resource for those that have this dilemma in the future. Below are my pros/cons for each.
