> I think you'd be better served by doing a lot of courses from the same institution. If you choose courses that were designed to fit together, you'll have a lot less wasted time from overlapping material or holes from missing material.
I agree regarding choosing materials from a singular institution. Thing is, not all the institutions have all the courses and materials online. This in turn results in choosing specific courses from specific institutions which are available online. But the caveat here is that when I intermix the courses from different institutions, I find the prerequisites to be different since different institutions cover same/similar courses in different depths/breadths. For example, Databases in CMU are at a much higher standard than that of Stanford's.
> What is your goal exactly?
Goal is to learn since my undergrad is not in CS. I would not be able to afford a masters for the next 2-3 years so I am trying to use the intermediate time to get myself the undergrad curriculum knowledge I never had. I hope this would help me with enhancing my day to day job and also help me prepare when I apply for my masters/PhD.
