LearningCS

This is a road plan for the transition into CS Summary Roadplan:
-> Programming (completed)
-> Computer Architecture
-> Algo (started)
-> Math for CS (complete - Maths in Engineering)
-> OS
-> Networking
-> Databases
-> Languages and Compiler
-> Distributed system

Bringing up to par before reading all these materials:

-https://www.udemy.com/course/python-for-data-structures-algorithms-and-interviews/
-Use MEAN stack, Docker, Amazon, TDD

1. Getting the fundamentals right is important

-CS50: Introduction to Computer Science from Harvard | edX

2. Understand algorithmic complexity

-(source to be added)

3. Learning Data Structures

-(source to be added)

4. Learning Algorithms

-Introduction to Algorithms by MIT
https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/6-006-introduction-to-algorithms-spring-2008/

-Algorithm specialization by Stanford
https://www.coursera.org/specializations/algorithms

5. Enhancing understanding in Data Structures and Algo + applications

-Introduction to Algorithm(CLRS)
to do questions and post on Github

-The Algorithm Design Manual by Steven S. Skiena

6. Taking part in competitions and assignments

-Hackerearth, Hackerrank, Topcoder, Leetcode, Hackertrail

7. Learning Distributed Systems design(study materials and tips)

DS&A: (already included above)

-Leetcode
-Interview Cake
-the Algorithm Design Manual
-Arden Dertat's list

System Design:

-High Scalability
