Not so much programming techniques or best-practices, but I've really enjoyed watching Computer Science and Math-related lectures on MIT Opencourseware's channel. I highly recommend that one.

If you're trying to re-learn math (and probably going the Khan Academy route) then I highly recommend checking out PatrickJMT's channel. He produces simple, but excellent mathematical videos in a style similar to tutoring (which is how he started doing the videos in the first place). I actually find his style to be much more engaging than Khan (nothing against Khan of course).

Can't believe this hasn't been mentioned yet, so I'm gonna throw it out there. Gary Bernhardt of Destroy All Software. Access to the videos costs $29/month but is well worth it IMO. He covers a very wide range of topics from beginner to advanced. To sum things up in a few words -- his content is focused on a general understanding of computer science and puts concepts, abstractions, and methodologies before any specif…

Are they available on YouTube?

I don't believe so. The author self distributes them through his website. Access to all of the videos for a flat monthly fee.

BriefTube.com is a TLDR; for Youtube educational videos. Instantly get the gist of what is being said and when. *I'm the proud developer of BriefTube

Oh wow! I had the very same idea a few weeks back! Your demos don't seem to be working for me though -- they start for a few seconds and then just stop.

Anyone has any good source for dynamic programming ones? I'm really strugling with that topic.

I really like the series of four lectures in the 2011 recording of the MIT Intro to Algorithms: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQ5jsbhAv_M&index=19&list=PL....

https://www.youtube.com/bisqwit is by far my favorite and I've spent many hours watching him. He does things like create a Doom-style engine from scratch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQYsFshbkYw .. create a NES emulator: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y71lli8MS8s .. work back from a C++17 example to show why new C++ standards are needed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrwwa68JXNk .. and even building a Tetris c…

never heard of Bisqwit but checking the channel out now and I see some Star Control 2 videos and that got my attention! That's one of my favorite games ever

I've watched those and also the recitations ( which I prefer ) with Victor Costan
