Problem

I'm a self-taught programmer and have been coding for 8 years. Due to this experience, I'm already very familiar with the principles of programming (such as if-statements, classes, polymorphism, etc.).

However, I never learned "computer science," only programming. What are some good resources for someone in my position to self-study computer science - that is, resources which move at a quick pace and assume basic programming knowledge?

Solution

Computer Science is a multifaceted discipline - and Algorithms and Data Structures is important part of it. You can try free video-courses, like Algorithms, Part 1, from Princeton University - it's running right now.

Another remarkable free video-course Algorithms: Design and Analysis, Part 1, from Stanford has finished recently - hopefully it will be repeated in the future. Part 2 of this course will start this Monday.
