Road to Computer Science

Here we are. I’ve started this project months ago more for fun than for work, and now the spring season of the freshman year starts the next week, oh good jesus, time really flies. (to be honest, only 2 months has passed lol). During the first season of exams i will take several courses from edx, coursera, udacity and also from the world, wide web (openyale lol). the exams i’ll take are:     Calculus 1 + precalculus (cause i’m a n00b)     Physics fundamental (a brief course at udacity for the introduction of physics and then the real physics course from yale)     Programming fundamental using python (from MITx, that is alreaady started, (damn))     HTML5 game development (a nice course for starting game development and learn js and html/css) The precalculus and the calculus courses are on coursera (the links will arrive soon). I will take also a course of java programming, done by MIT on edx, but it starts in november/december,...

During the last month, i’ve tried to be efficient in c (see my post on learning c)! In learning C, i’ve listed a lot of material i’ve found on the internet, and i’ve selected the course from nptel (which i’ll review in this post) and the tutorials from tutorialspoint. I’ve dropped the other courses/material mostly beacuse of time, not because they’re not nice or well done. However, i really liked the tutorialspoint’s material, really well made and easy to learn for a n00b like me. Sadly, i havent completed all the material from tutorialspoint (planned to do when exams of university gets over), and i stopped at structures. I’ve also tried to complete the Nptel course . The course was nice, but i can’t get a certification (i don’t have money at the moment *sad*) from the organisation. That said, the course was imho challenging, with difficult problem sets (which i failed a lot *sad again*) and a lot of material to learn. I haven’t liked the lectures, not really focused on theorical learn...
