Nothing online, I’m afraid. Most of the best classes I’ve taken were at my brick and mortar small liberal arts college and were not computer science. I’ve also taken plenty online courses that I would call useful, and I’m glad I took them [1]. But Grossman’s is the only online course I’ve taken where I felt like there was a deep pleasure and joy in teaching your brain new and unexpected ways to think.

[1] Sedgwick’s algorithms class (useful and clear, but dry as hell), Martin Odersky’s scala course (solid, but probably a little dated by now), several others not worth mentioning.

Thanks.

I like learning new stuff, and expand my mind.

There are many courses on my to-do list that I learned about from HN.

I have found Sedgewick's course to be very dry (not intellectually, but physical vibe-wise) as well and was annoyed that I had to write Java.

Skiena, DPV, and a PragProg book ultimately taught me algorithms.

I have the Odersky course on my list as well.
