The problem with a website such as this one is that they just compile a list of content, each of which is quite large/involved, and throw it at you. Not only is this kind of overwhelming, but I wonder how many people <i>actually</i> use a page like this to construct a curriculum for themselves. I doubt it's very many at all. There's too much friction: you have to continue revisiting the page after you complete all of these multi-week courses. And each course will probably have its own suggested next steps, which might be different from those in the original resource, which you might have already forgotten about by now.<p>I've had a different idea for a while. What I've always wanted to do, and would do if I had unlimited time, is create a kind of tech-tree of various computer science concepts, organized into subjects/tracks/courses, with each vertex in the tree being a clear and concise 4-7 minute youtube video (with accompanying downloadable code if applicable). Note this wouldn't necessarily need to be a real tree as things such as e.g. machine learning would need backgrounds in both linear algebra and statistics.<p>Then you could learn from scratch by simply traversing down the tree. If you wanted to learn something, you could search it and determine where in the tree to start watching about it by where you feel like your knowledge ends. So if you're looking up np-completeness, but feel you don't understand the concepts of p and np, you can watch those videos first.<p>It would take a long time, though.
As a cs-savvy person, I'd really love to see similar pages but for other fields.<p>Computer science is probably one of the most over-documented fields. Everyone seems to have compiled a list of resources at least once in their life, like a rite of passage.<p>I'd love to see open source curricula for Economics/Business, Physics, Music, Literature and other stuff.
Hi guys. MindWeb is the project of a friend and me. I just wanted to apologize for the loading time. We just launched our beta and we were not prepared for this much traffic!
This is a pretty poor platform to point you to edx/coursera courses.<p>Try this one...much better.<p><a href="https://github.com/ossu/computer-science" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/ossu/computer-science</a>
These are the sort of resources I wish I had available when I was in high school. What a tremendous bounty we now have.<p>Has anyone put together a list like this for a subject like chemistry?
Then my favorite essay of programming is this ;)

Speaking of CS, apparently now it's important to know something about high dimensional spaces and their volumes. I have linked a PDF below. What part of math does it belong to? I am not sure pure Linear Algebra and Real Analysis deal with such problems? Could it be Measure Theory or Convex Geometry? I am looking for literature or at least the names of subsets of math that deal with such problems starting from the very beginning.<p><a href="https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~venkatg/teaching/CStheory-infoage/chap1-high-dim-space.pdf" rel="nofollow">https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~venkatg/teaching/CStheory-infoage/ch...</a>
They seem to be missing a UI design/Human Factors/Usability course.<p>(I had closed the page because of the UI, but opened it again to do some keyword searches. I was glad to close it again. My stomach is still somewhat nauseated.)
What...is with that UI? Between the cut-off titles and the mouseover image spinning, I left in less than 10 seconds. Here's a better, non-seizure inducing list: <a href="https://github.com/mvillaloboz/open-source-cs-degree" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/mvillaloboz/open-source-cs-degree</a>
