Alright, faggots. You're going to take a first-year computer science class at MIT.

>But Python is for plebs!

Well, good thing that Harvard is running a course that uses C and recommends Linux. No excuses. This one is even self-paced.

>But muh blub languages

I SAID NO EXCUSES. Here's a course that uses Scheme. This one is also self-paced.

Those are your choices. If you don't choose any of these, you're a lazy sack of shit.

Even if you already know the basics of programming, you will almost definitely get something out of these if you haven't had a formal education yet.

If we do it together, we can make threads about it and encourage each other. I'm doing the third one, and I've been programming for 2 years.

Sure.

I'll join you through Systemic Program Design.

I'm going to check out the Harvard one, I initially passed on it because it seemed like they use a multiple languages meant they wouldn't really get that deep into the subject, but the reviews seem to be very positive.

It's pretty popular. I was talking to a woman at my university who helps put things on EDX, and she had heard of it and wanted to take it.

I started on it last year, but life got in the way. From what I saw it was pretty good, but obviously it's still only a first year introductory course. I would have been taking it this time, but I just couldn't resist a modern course in Scheme.
