I'm interested in computer science and learning all about it and thought this may be helpful. if so let me know where to start

Question

newbie

Answer 1

Not sure what you're asking? If you're asking if learning more about programming and computers would help you with computer science, then yes, of course.

https://www.sololearn.com/Courses/

^Start there and go through whichever courses you want to know more about. I'd start with something like C++, C# or Java.

Answer 2

Do this course https://www.edx.org/course/introduction-computer-science-mitx-6-00-1x-11
very good intro to cs and completely free

Answer 3

Fata1 Err0r sorry about the wording but you understood what I was asking luckily lol. I appreciate the suggestions from you as well Programmer

Answer 4

Awesome Fata1 Err0r. I hate that I have to get a piece of paper just to say I know what I'm capable of but that's how it is unfortunately. I could also use the links that Programmer provided cause it has courses as well

Answer 7

You can try
www.w3schools.com
www.tutorialspoint.com
and it is better to start from html because it is much easier than the others

Answer 8

lol No worries Darrius.

Here is a technique that I use, which may be of use to you as well. Go to a bunch of different college/university websites. They typically have a course catalog available for you to view. Go to their courses for computer science (or related) and it'll list what courses make up that degree program. Write down everything that makes up that degree. Afterwards open up Google and search for books on each of the courses that were listed; majority of the time I find the exact books that the colleges use for free. Search for something like: "<course name> free pdf ebook" and you'll typically generate hits. Read through all of the resources that you find for it. This will essentially give you a college education on the subject for free (or whatever your internet bill costs). If you do this prior to attending a college, you'll already have the education you'd obtain from the college and can easily pass your courses to obtain the piece of paper if you desire.

Answer 9

Well, in this type of field (technology), you can easily get the same education without having to go to college. The reality is that your portfolio and ability to show/explain what you know means much more than a piece of paper pretending to represent your abilities. This isn't the case for all fields (obviously you'd want a surgeon that went to school and didn't google the info). I've been in this job for the better part of the past decade and I don't have a degree, but I work alongside those who do as an equal. Always practice what you learn and create things with the knowledge; add all of it to your portfolio to showcase who you are as a developer.

Best of luck to you bro!
