Bradfield founder here: thanks for the recommendation but it's really not true that "most of [the course material] comes from CS:APP". It's a great book—which is why I recommend it so strongly in teachyourselfcs.com—but

As the author of Teach Yourself CS I would definitely suggest against trying to fit this in a year! Maybe aim for CS:APP and 1-2 others, and if you have time for more that's a bonus. Most of these are books to work through, not "r

Hi there, I'm the author. Yes this list precisely constitutes the topics in computer science on which I believe a software engineer with an informal education should focus. It's based on my experience of having taught computer sci

Congratulations, this is great! I'm glad you'll be reaching an underserved group. I hope, though, that you'll be honest with your students about what your program will deliver.[1] While it's currently still possible for

Berkeley's CS 162 is great, and recordings are available on internet archive. There are some decent undergraduate textbooks these days too: OSTEP is particularly accessible and free online, and the Tom Anderson _Operating Systems: Prin

Hey there! We've been doing this at Bradfield for a couple of years, and do get quite a few bootcamp grads (maybe 100 to date) typically 1-3 years into their careers. Which bootcamp did you attend? Ask around there and I'm sure so

Hi! I co-wrote the first one, and it is definitely not intended to be a CS canon. Those books are our suggested resources for folk teaching themselves computer science, and were evaluated on that basis alone. We included not-great books whe
