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

• Ask HN: Please share advanced resources to level up

  https://teachyourselfcs.com/ and/or https://csprimer.com/courses/

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

• Ask HN: Book recommendations for CS fundamentals for a self-taught programmer?

  https://teachyourselfcs.com/

  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.

• Teach Yourself Computer Science

• Point of departure on the road to systems programming
  3 projects | dev.to | 23 Jul 2024

  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.

• Learn things that don't change
  1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 22 May 2024

  Yes, the fundamentals don't change, but this blog is just affiliate link farming and the 40 (!) books it recommends includes a lot of non-fundamental rubbish.

  Here's a much better list of around 7 books: https://teachyourselfcs.com/.

• I am going to become a software engineer - and I'd like to be a good one
  1 project | dev.to | 27 Apr 2024

  But a software developer is not a software engineer, and I'll have to work on the side to make up for the holes in the developer cursus. I turned to reddit to look for recommandations, and I'm quite enthusiast with the TeachYourselfCS learning track - which I started along the Java lessons.

• HN how do I learn to code?
  1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 6 Jan 2024

  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.

• Difference between learning programming and learning a language?
  1 project | /r/learnprogramming | 10 Dec 2023

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