Love this website, and love how there are more and more resources for auto-didacts. For anyone who wants to learn how to draw, check out drawabox: https://www.drawabox.com . The guy started out just wanted to share the basics and now I think he makes a living through that site. EDIT: I should also add that I know drawabox is off topic, but it is IMO a great example of where education might be going. Carefully constru…

I get a “you should go back-this site looks like it’s impersonating drawbox” message from that link.

Try without the www (https://drawabox.com). The certificate is not a wildcard one and only include the naked domain.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

> but taking a course on programming languages, studying grammars, lexers, parsers, etc. helped make everything click and feel less shaky. I'm currently trying to learn all of this and wish I had completed my CS degree since you have peers going through the same thing, and a professor for office hours. I find it a little difficult to get through on my own, but I hope to get far enough to participate in PL.

Check out https://craftinginterpreters.com/ . I created a interpreter with the help of this book and it's been a great resource.

This is the resource recommended by teachyourselfcs.com. I guess that's encouraging.

I think the advice to avoid an MSCS should be taken with a grain of salt. You can learn a lot in a well-taught graduate systems course with a serious project component.

Apologies for the duplicate post - sometimes either the reply button doesn't seem to work (post doesn't show up) or I end up double-clicking it rather than single-clicking. There seems to be a time limit on deletion and editing unfortunately.

Is this blocked in India? I can’t access The website has been blocked as per order of Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology under IT Act, 2000.

Use https://archive.org/web/ to access the website. I'm in India too and it's very weird that they've blocked this website. I refer to the article a lot so thankfully I had a PDF copy.
