Top products from r/coursera

Just my 2 cents: The Stanford Algorithms class is more about designing algorithms. The Princeton Algorithms class is more about implementation and real world testing.

The FAQ at the bottom:

How does Algorithms: Design and Analysis differ from the Princeton University algorithms course?

The two courses are complementary. That one emphasizes implementation and testing; this one focuses on algorithm design paradigms and relevant mathematical models for analysis. In a typical computer science curriculum, a course like this one is taken by juniors and seniors, and a course like that one is taken by first- and second-year students.


As a computer science student, I would encourage you to pick up a book on Discrete Mathematics, and pick up Robert Sedgwick's Algorithm's textbook. Sedgwick's Algorithms book is more about implementing algorithms, compared to CLRS, which is another algorithms textbook written by some very smart guys. CLRS is far more in depth.

I took a Data Structures and Algorithms class recently, we used Sedgwick's textbook. I will be taking another ALgorithms & Design class later using CLRS.

The last book is super important for CS students, I would read that front to back as well.

www.codeacademy.com is a good resource for intro javascript, jquery, html, python, and ruby (though I can only vouch for the javascript segments). The material varies, but it is all code-as-you-go, which is my preferred way of learning programming (vs. a lecture style). I think that's actually why Coursera is limited on the intro programming front: it's very difficult to teach an intro lecture without a significant amount of hand-holding, which coursera simply isn't set up for.

Also, my intro computer science (java) class used this book: Introduction to Computer Programming, which I REALLY liked. Their recommended compiler is Dr. Java, which is very simple - good for the very beginning, but eventually you'll want to switch to Eclipse.
