Free-Computer-Science-University

So after watching all the resources, I thought to put all the important technical courses in one place and help those people who want to learn computer science. Keep track of Progress using the Task lists and yeah all the courses are free.:D So start following these courses. I can't guarantee you that you'll get a job but I can assure you that you'll have deep understanding about Computer Science. Even I am following this syllabus and believe me, everyday I learn something new. And I would like to thank all the contributors who have helped to make this project better. Good luck everyone!

For introductory computer Science:-

• 1. https://www.edx.org/course/introduction-computer-science-harvardx-cs50x

or

• 2. https://www.udacity.com/course/intro-to-computer-science--cs101

These two are great introductory courses which were taught by some of the best professors in their field.

Learn to code in (at least) one object-oriented programming language:-

• 1. For learning C++ refer this: https://thenewboston.com/videos.php?cat=16

• 2. For learning Java refer this: https://www.udacity.com/course/java-programming-basics--ud282

• 3. Great course about programming principles: https://www.udacity.com/course/design-of-computer-programs--cs212

Learn to code atleast in one scripting language:

• 1. For python refer to no.2 in introductory computer science

• 2. For javascript: https://www.codecademy.com/learn/javascript

Develop some mathematical thinking

• 1. https://www.coursera.org/learn/mathematical-thinking

• 2. https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/6-042j-mathematics-for-computer-science-fall-2010/index.htm (focus in this course very nicely)

Develop a strong understanding of algorithms and data structures (very important)

• 1. Course by MIT:https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/6-006-introduction-to-algorithms-spring-2008/index.htm

• 2. Read about all the algorithms and data structure here(if you can :P):http://wcipeg.com/wiki/Special:AllPages

• 3. https://www.coursera.org/learn/algorithms-part1

• 4. https://www.coursera.org/learn/algorithms-part2

Do competitive programming

This blog will tell you everything related to competitive programming.

• https://competitiveprogrammers.blogspot.in/

Learn about computer networking

• 1. https://www.udacity.com/course/computer-networking--ud436

• 2. https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/6-829-computer-networks-fall-2002/

Learn about operating system

• 1. https://www.udacity.com/course/introduction-to-operating-systems--ud923

Learn full stack web development (Do both if you can)

• 1. https://www.codecademy.com/en/tracks/code-year

• 2. https://www.freecodecamp.com/

Learn android developement

If you're interested in Data science then these courses are for you

• 1. https://www.datacamp.com/tracks/data-scientist-with-python

• 2. https://www.edx.org/micromasters/data-science

For machine learning

• 1. https://www.udacity.com/course/intro-to-machine-learning--ud120

• 2. https://www.coursera.org/learn/machine-learning

For Deep learning (One of my favourite course ;) )

• https://www.udacity.com/course/deep-learning--ud730

For Artificial Intelligence

• https://www.edx.org/course/artificial-intelligence-ai-columbiax-csmm-101x-0

For cyber security basics

• 1. https://www.edx.org/course/cyber-security-basics-hands-approach-uc3mx-inf-2x
• 2. https://www.cybrary.it/cyber-security/

Work on a small piece of a large system (codebase), read and understand existing code, track down documentation, and debug

For that take this course to understand about version control.

• 1. https://www.udacity.com/course/how-to-use-git-and-github--ud775

• 2. https://www.codecademy.com/learn/learn-git

So I guess these courses will help everyone for learning CS in both length and breadth. These courses are not short but trust me these are very interesting courses. Even I am learning CS from these courses. So if anyone wants to contribute, you're welcome.
