I really like the resource but some of the courses I prefer some alternatives.
1. Programming - IntroCS by princeton - available on coursera with videos and graded assignments. If you require a slightly easier course, then you can check out CS61A from Berkeley or MIT's Intro course in python.
2. Algorithms and Data Structures - Princeton 2 courses in algorithms - coursera. Alongwith their book and booksite this was a very good resource for me with their graded assignments. I also would suggest CS61B from berkeley.
3. Databases - I started learning from Stanford Widom's course, but now I actually recommend CMU's course. I have heard good reviews for berkeley's course CS186 as well.
Side Note:
https://bradfieldcs.com/courses/ These are the makers of https://teachyourselfcs.com/. I notice that there are many courses, but at the same time $1800 per course is a bit too much considering USD conversion. So, I am looking for reviews if anyone has taken it, and whether the cost is justified. On the fence of joining it because of the cost.
