For CS theory, I would rather suggest you to focus on classic CS courses, here's my list:
0. Do not touch "Introduction to Algorithms" until you are in a dream job.
1. CS 61A: The Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs
https://cs61a.org/ https://cs61a.org/
2. CS61B: Data Structures
http://datastructur.es/sp16/ http://datastructur.es/sp16/
3. Coursera: Princeton Algorithm
https://coursera.org/learn/algorithms-part1 https://coursera.org/learn/algorithms-part1
4. CMU 15213 CSAPP
https://courses.cs.washington.edu/courses/cse351/16sp/videos.html https://courses.cs.washington.edu/courses/cse351/16sp/videos...
5. Keep moving.
- non-entity 7y ago> Do not touch "Introduction to Algorithms" until you are in a dream job Any idea why? Its unlikely I'll ever land my "dream job" butnim curious as to the reasoning.
- p_l 7y agoIf by "Introduction to Algorithms" we mean the infamous book by Cormen et al... When I propose to use it to prevent sea rise by drying the sea I only half jest. It's IMO one of the worst books to use except as reference when you already have a good grounding.
- resouer 7y agoIt's an awesome book but kinda theoretical, I'd suggest to read and digest it slowly after you got a great job, not before.
- sbmthakur 7y agoWhy not "Introduction to Algorithms"?
- resouer 7y agoditto, it's an awesome book but kinda theoretical, I'd suggest to read and digest it slowly after you got a great job, not before.
- b3b0p 7y agoIs the Stanford Algorithms course a good or equal substitute? I started the Princeton one, but the homework was... just not what I would have expected or often threw me for a loop.
- resouer 7y agoPrinceton one is not job interview focused, but is good for one to get started in this field.
