I've had this site bookmarked for at least a year and have really enjoyed watching the curriculum grow. Now only if I could start on it...
A suggestion for getting yourself to spend time on large projects: http://tynan.com/ornothing "Do it or nothing"
jwasham/coding-interview-university also links to a number of also helpful OER resources: https://github.com/jwasham/coding-interview-university
Still, I appreciate and love all the online material (that's free!) but I tend to operate better when I can 1) Collaborate with other students (and professors) 2) Have deadlines
For a couple years, I went the self study route, using online resources coupled with text books. Eventually though, I ended up taking a few distant learning courses and found the accountability (i.e. deadlines, homework assignments, exams) helpful, keeping motivated. And now, I'm taking the online CS master's program from Georgia Tech, the OMSCS program. I'm actually only in my first semester and loving it! Still, I…
It's interesting finding a new job only to have existing classmates be excited for you to be there. Rumors begin spreading that you get shit done even quicker.

Really?
otherwise This is heavy on maths for data science and machine learning..
It doesn't have any of the "software engineering" courses though.
I don't really see Abstract Algebra as a super relevant topic for modern computer science. I agree on Linear Algebra and basic abstract algebra (like group theory, cyclic groups etc, stuff needed for understanding topics like RSA), but stuff like Galois theory and other advanced topics are just not relevant. They still teach you a different way to think about problems (which is good) but rather belong into a math cur…
A recent problem I needed a solution for: given n blocks of data of equal length generate all possible XOR sums of the blocks in-place (no additional memory). The answer is an irreducible polynomial of degree n with a primitive root over GF(2).
