Re: List of Computer Science Courses
#52I think we need more algo courses for the sake of competitive programming...
There are plenty of very good MOOCs on algorithms - 1. https://www.coursera.org/course/aofa 2. https://www.coursera.org/course/algs4partI 3. https://www.coursera.org/course/algo 4. https://www.coursera.org/course/algs4partII 5. https://www.coursera.org/course/algorithmicthink
Which of these would you recommend for someone who has been programming since 2 years but wants to improve their fundamentals ?
Re: List of Computer Science Courses
#53This list is sorely missing some introductory mathematics courses required to build a foundation in CS (e.g Discrete Maths). If there are any course suggestions that anyone has, I'll gladly add those to the list.
ArsDigita Discrete Mathematics course (this one gives a really gentle start):
http://www.aduni.org/courses/discrete/index.php?view=cw
MIT Mathematics for Computer Science (harder but still not that hard):
http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-comput...
Steve Skienna discrete mathematics course (graduate course based on Knuth's "Concrete Mathematics", quite hard):
http://www3.cs.stonybrook.edu/~algorith/math-video/
I also recommend checking out some books:
http://infolab.stanford.edu/~ullman/focs.html - free "Foundations of Computer Science" book that combines discrete mathematics with C programming and some theory of computation stuff, a pretty good way to make things more practical
http://www.amazon.com/Discrete-Mathematics-Elementary-Beyond... - very pleasant introductory discrete mathematics book, a welcome break from the usual "brick" format and covers some important topics that often do not make it into the normal discrete mathematics curriculum e.g. induction on trees.
http://www.amazon.com/Introductory-Combinatorics-Modern-Birk... - classic introduction to combinatorics

No idea how Prof Skiena's course slipped out. Added to the list. Thanks!
Re: List of Computer Science Courses
#55There is also the algorithm course (in two parts) by professor Tim Roughgarden of Stanford (available on Coursera). Part one starts Jan 19th.
I really enjoyed both of them. Reviews:

#56MIT, harvard etc are not the only universities in the world. and this has a pretty limited view of CS.

#57Earlier quoted context omitted.
Guys how do I take this class? There is no way I can do this online?
At the moment, you'd have to enroll at the University of Utah. I might put the course online some day, but lectures are extremely interactive. I'm not sure how well they'll translate to an online format.
The reference implementations at http://matt.might.net/apps/pyparse/ does not seem to work.

If only there was some way you could add to that list to address the imbalance. Maybe if it was hosted on Github and you could issue a pull request?

I'd go for aofa
Re: List of Computer Science Courses
#60I have a recommendation for everyone:
The courses at ADUni are really awesome. Though the resolution totally sucks and it feels rather old, they're the best thing around the Internet thats a tutorial on CS. They have everything from Algorithms and Discrete Maths to OOP and stuff. Check those out at http://www.aduni.org I'll probably send a pull request to whoever's maintaining the repo. Great job though, you've listed quite a lot of courses... ;)
