A former Stanford professor / Google Fellow and a University of Virginia professor have teamed up to prove that a high quality computer science education can be provided at low cost. So far the offerings are CS 101 (build a search engine) and CS 373 (build a robot car) but scheduled to come on line this year are
- Theory of Computation
- Operating Systems
- Computer Networks
- Distributed Systems
- Computer Security
- Algorithms and Data Structures
- Software Engineering Practices
- Building Web Apps
Throw in some database classes and calculus and u have a fairly complete program. For comparison the UW computer science program has 7 core classes:
- Programming 1 (CS 101)
- Programming 2
- Foundations of Computing (Theory of Computation)
- Foundations II (Algorithms and Data Structures ?)
- Software Design and Implementation (Software Engineering Practices)
- Programming Abstractions (A & DS ?)
- Hardware / Software Interface
Not a perfect match but fairly good.
