   I've taken a large number of MOOCs in the last couple of years. Some of my favorites were: - Intro to Computer Science \(CS101\) by Udacity While I wasn't new to programming, this was still an extremely well made course that was very engaging and got me into Python (haven't looked back since)…

   Hi, I am planning long time to do Princetons course on Algorithms and Data Structures by Kevin Wayne and Robert Sedgewick. There are also good classes/books on MIT and a book by Skiena. I would like others to chime in, but thats what i have read about !

   My favorite online course is stanford's algorithms by tim roughgarden. There are also other great courses - algorithms 1,2 by robert sedgewick and kevin wayne and the lectures on MIT OCW are other good options. After you learn a topic, find problems on that topic on places like leetcode and solve…

   Well, I took several online courses (Object-Oriented Programming in Java specialization on Coursera is great for absolute beginners, Algorithms I and II), read a few books (started with Introduction to Java programming by Y. Daniel Liang, some classics like Clean Code, Design Patterns, but it…

   Sure. First you want to dive into programming, so you should pick up some books introducing you. 1. Try a head first book on C#, Java, C, etc. They're good for beginners especially since they will explain concepts very effectively. Theres also Java for beginners by Herbert as well. 2. To really…
