  • 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!

  • 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.
