Path to a free, self-taught education in Computer Science
Can someone point out where the science in all this is? At best, there are some courses in algorithms in the 'Core Theory' and others in the 'Advanced Theory' section, with a random spattering of in other sections.Computer Science would be computational theory, complexity theory, a proof based cryptography course, the mathematics of computer geometry/machine learning type stuff.About 80% of the courses here are software engineering courses - about using computers to build things. The quote 'computer science is as much about computers as astronomy is about telescopes', comes to mind.Just call it 'a self-taught education in Software Engineering'.
