My top 12 resources for learning Computer Science!

Learning computer science isn't just about coding and competitive programming. It's a field that demands innovation and development.

It can be in any specialization but one thing is for sure every Computer Science learner starts his journey with either Web development or App development.

Youtube is the best source of learning and what's the best part? It's absolutely free! All we invest is time :).

In this article, I would like to share the sources that I find useful and worth following -

• Development

• Web Dev Simplified
  It teaches web development skills and techniques in an efficient and practical manner. It covers topics from basics to advanced using the most popular and trending tech stacks.

• JavaScript Mastery
  The purpose of JavaScript Mastery is to help aspiring developers to take their development skills to the next level and build awesome apps.

• Tech With Tim
  He teaches Python Programming, Game Development, Pygame, Java Tutorials, and Machine Learning videos.

• freeCodeCamp.org
  They are an open-source community of people who learn to code and build projects for nonprofits. They have got excellent teachers who cover almost every topic in Computer Science.

• Guided Projects

• Computer Science
  The content varies from teaching basic languages in an efficient manner to building projects fro solidifying concepts. It covers many different programming languages like Python & C, and topics like Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence (AI).

• Ania Kubów #JavaScriptGames
  One of the best channels to learn game development in JS through guided projects. Ania teaches you JavaScript,
  React, Html, CSS, and Express Tutorials in game form!
  She is from a financial background who has switched to tech because of her obsession with coding & her aim is to teach you how to code, not to care about how silly she looks doing it.

• Coding

• Errichto
  He is a competitive programmer who has been a finalist of multiple big programming competitions like ICPC, Facebook Hacker Cup, and Google Code Jam. His videos include explaining Algorithms, competitive programming, coding interviews.

• KevinNaughtonJr
  He's a software engineer in New York City who makes videos about coding interviews and topics related to programming.

• CS Dojo
  This channel is hosted by Y.K Sugi. He's an ex-Google engineer who makes videos about programming and computer science here.
  
  {To be honest, his video quality is awesome :) }

• AI/ML/Maths

  3Blue1Brown
  Hosted by Grant Sanderson. This channel is some combination of math and entertainment, depending on your disposition. The goal is for explanations to be driven by animations and for difficult problems to be made simple with changes in perspective.
  
  { For me, this is by far one of the best channels I found when it comes to explaining this stuff! }

• UI/UX Designing

• DesignCourse
  This channel is hosted by Gary. He's created close to 100 courses from graphic design to advanced frontend development. He's a very experienced course instructor. He teaches full-stack development along with tutorials related to UI/UX, Frontend Dev, Backend Dev, Graphic Design, and more!

• PiXimperfect
  It's hosted by Unmesh Dinda, is a free resource for learning Photoshop and Lightroom. PiXimperfect believes in learning the concept, rather than learning the steps so that you can translate "your" imagination visually to the world.

• Some other channels worth mentioning

• Programming with Mosh
  

• Traversy Media
  

When it comes to websites, I prefer:

• Qwiklabs
  It provides you a hands-on experience on the Google cloud platform.

• Udacity
  The introductory courses of this website itself are very rich in content!

• GeeksforGeeks
  One of the best spots to get a good list of coding questions and interview/internship experiences.

• CP-Algorithms
  It has got a wonderful list of the number of algorithms used in competitive programming with a good explanation.

• AWS Guide (Github repo)
  A practical guide to learn about AWS Cloud Services.

I hope this has been a useful reference for every reader :)
