Ask HN: Best CS refresher material online?

9 pointsby lesikiabout 1 year ago
Recently I&#x27;ve been looking for a good &quot;refresher&quot; for the CS theory I learnt at university - in particular the theoretical, slower-changing stuff that we had to learn but rarely apply in a web programming career.<p>What sparked it was actually an episode of University Challenge where there was a mention of Byzantine Generals - I haven&#x27;t heard that mentioned in about 18 years!<p>Though any professional development I get from this is a bonus, my main motivation is just intellectual curiosity &amp; the desire to re-explore these concepts that I slowly forgot through disuse over the years. As a result, material that is captivating and fun is a strong bonus.<p>Any books, podcasts, youtube channels, online courses HN would recommend?

Does it need to be the best? Or would good enough be good enough? What suits you best might not suit someone else at all. On the other hand, there are are many CS courses archived on Youtube and tons of old textbooks in circulation.<p>And of course, you can always buy a boxed set of <i>TAoCP</i>. It will probably keep you busy for awhile. Good luck.
