Saylor Academy. Online Learning: An Intensive Bachelor's Level Computer Science Program Curriculum, Part II. Last month, we published a piece providing a basic template for a bachelor’s level computer science curriculum composed entirely from college or university courses that are freely available online.
To date, this has been the most popular post on the blog, and we received a ton of great feedback, both positive and negative, in the comments and from around the web. The original post was based on a learning plan that I had worked out for myself after I jumped into the study of programming and computer science just over a year ago on something of a whim. As I’ve mentioned before, I do not have any formal background in computer science beyond the handful of courses from this list that I have worked through myself.

Each student will prefer different resources according to their subjects of interest and learning style, but there are universally great tools that impress nearly every student who tries them. In order to help college students locate the best online resources that will make their lives easier, we tailored a list of 15 most useful links that offer exactly what they need for achieving good grades. 1.
