I was looking at some stuff by Fogus and discovered:

Really good resource for a bunch of important papers.
There's also some good information for compilers on github

#22this isn’t nearly as comprehensive, but Michael Collins’ notes on machine learning for NLP are really succinct and IMO intuitive

(search for notes, where he’s listed links to pdfs he uses in classes)

#24Lots of great suggestions here.
I'll throw out a recommendation for The Little series of books (e.g., The Little Schemer, The Seasoned Schemer, The Reasoned Schemer, The Little Typer, etc.)
The first book is all you need to grok recursion. You can just toss a copy at any student who struggles with it.
The second book ends with some really non-trivial CS stuff.
They're fantastic examples of the power of good pedagogy to explain interesting and difficult concepts normally relegated to drier texts.

Re: Can we create a thread for some of the best materials on CS available online?
#26https://teachyourselfcs.com . I have read few books from the list and found it to be comprehensive as well as manageable. The courses and books have been selected so that one can study it outside of regular university course. Books are self contained and full with exercises. It can easily take 1-2 years of serious effort to get through the material.

Still faster than my CS degree.

#27From Nand to Tetris: Build a Modern Computer from First Principles https://www.coursera.org/learn/build-a-computer Phenomenal look at different systems involved in a computer, and has you build simple versions of logic gates, ALU, assembler, compiler, bootloader, and graphics engine. Highly recommend for folks who didn't study CS in school.
I have been considering going through this book/program myself. I do have a CS degree, but I really need to brush up on somethings, and I will imagine I will learn a lot of new things too.
However, I noticed there are two versions of the book. Do you think the version matters?

#28https://fullstackopen.com/en/
Full Stack Open, a free course by University of Helsinki, is very good on quickly teaching the core concepts for modern frontend and backend in the JS ecosystem. Such a good primer on React and the rest of the things, CI/CD, DB, backend API, auth, etc. involved in fullstack development.

#29Here's a pretty good website that gives direction on the path to competence/mastery for various domains of software development.

The book (and course, IIRC) is split across two books. The first one focuses on the lower level systems, and I believe the seconds one deals with the bootloader, language implementation, screen animation, and building the game.
It doesn't look like there are multiple versions of the books, unless I'm missing something. I did the two versions of the course without the book, and really enjoyed both. Although the writers of https://teachyourselfcs.com/ only recommend the first one, so it depends what you want to get out of it and whether the approach resonates.
