The Open Source Computer Science Degree

This is my curated list of free courses from reputable universities like MIT, Stanford, and Princeton that satisfy the same requirements as an undergraduate Computer Science degree, minus general education. Everything is open source online and free.

In Germany we call somebody like you an "Ehrenmann". Roughly translates to "man of honor".
Thanks, this free semi college degree is what I need !

[menaschemmoni]

I am from Africa and our universities teach stuff that is decades old. Completely outdated. I am very grateful. Please add more courses if you get an opportunity. Thank you so much.

oh my god! Thank you!
I just restarted coding (after I had "some intrest" in school and learnd some java)
I started learing python with some free tutorials, but I thought:
"Hmm...where can I get well bundeled information, besides the university?"
Well - here you come my hero...I'm gonna praise you for that :)

Job Application: Do you have a degree in computer science?
Me: Umm... well uh... it's complicated.

"The reason this is called the open source computer science degree, is because all the classes are open source."

Mind = blown

I just watched this whole video and then realized that it was posted 4 years ago LOL
Are you planning to make an updated 2023 version ?
Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos, it is SO incredibly helpful <3

You’re a bloody legend, mate, appreciate your hard work putting this together.

My intro to CS vote goes to Harvard CS50 on EdX. That course was taught supremely well.

Just discovered your channel and I think YouTube deserves people like you :)

Thank you for the knowledge, Forrest. I'm in my mid 40's and starting a second career after retiring from law enforcement. I just started my first job as a front end developer and this is going to help a lot in progressing in my new career.

The world needs more people like you.
Thank you.

So I lost my college admission today because we couldn’t afford the registration fees (payable today). Through this I can still at least get the knowledge now. You have no idea how much I appreciate this man!

[alantinoalantonio]

Damn, this is awesome. Currently considering going back to school for a C.S. degree. Im an older dude with a B.S. in Finance. This helps tremendously!! Thanks a million!!

[AmirAli-gvkn]

I second you. I'm graduating soon and throughout my undergrad I almost took all of the mentioned courses as the knowledge provided by instructor weren't enough. I really regret getting enrolled into institution because more or less I graduated (about to be) with the help of material available over Internet.
Thanks man!

Other than open-source, I learnt a lot on tech Platforms like Coursera and Udemy - typically, these cost under a $100 per course - but the info I gathered was invaluable compared to CS level courses at traditional universities. I applaud you for creating this content. I think the masses are starting to realize that colleges are becoming overpriced for the value that they can provide, IMHO.

[nikolassehman]

This is a fantastic concept! I am totally into this! I love CS, but I think this could go a lot bigger! What if there were these sort of degree programs for a TON of other paths (ie mathematics, Engineering, biology, physics, hell even libral arts paths). I know that would be a ton of work, and I'm sure it's easily moving outside your wheelhouse, but imagine a "Open Source University"... That could be big

[cbppklz]

Great to work on this during summer so I can get ahead before starting college

[deangelosantillan]

As a high school graduate who's interested in getting into computer science all I can say is thank you for making this :)

[DroskiYT]

As a struggling CS major graduating soon, thank you so much for this. I've been trying so hard to find some supplemental material and this is pretty much everything Im required to take.

People like you restore my faith in humanity.
