Open Source Society creates Path to a free self-taught graduation in Computer Science


The Open Source Society created a curriculum of free MOOC course that will give you that Computer Science university experience. It's really a nice job they've done and the fact that it's hosted on github means it's meant to be updated from time to time. So if you have been looking for a university degree in computer science, here is an opportunity to fulfil your dreams.

It might not be comprehensive at the moment, but it sure would give you more than a basic knowledge of computing.

Courses listed include Algorithm, Intro to computer science, Java, Python, UX design and whole list of other courses from computer science and related fields. 

These MOOC courses were taken from EDX (a collaboration of Harvard, MIT, Berkeley, Caltech, Dartmouth Uni etc), Coursera and udacity. All these sites host very good courses that are worthy of your time and will greatly improve your knowledge base. 

You can check out the programme on github. The page is quite detailed on what you ought to do.
