EDUCATION THROUGH ONLINE FOR FREE

Free Online Training Courses

This site offers about nine e-learning courses, from UNIX shell programming to A+

Certification training. Note that these courses may not be so "deep" given that all

the courses do not last more than a few hours. It is primarily an incentive program for their more full fledged e-learning courses. However, the course will give you feel of

an online learning environment and you can decide for yourself whether such an approach is suited to your personal preferences.

Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs

http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Electrical-Engineering-and-Computer-Science/6-001Spring-2005/CourseHome/index.htm

For any geek looking for a foundational program in programming,
MIT Course 6.001-Structure and Interpretation of Computer

Programs is the bedrock.

This course creates a solid awareness of the programming environment and uses a version of a high level programming language called LISP.
In many ways all the popular programming languages of today are subsets of LISP. What can be written in one line in LISP may require 3-4 or even more lines in other languages.
Course 6.001 uses an academic version of LISP called Scheme.
The Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs is also a text book that is somewhat of a classic in soft-ware engineering circles.
The entire textbook is available online too, so you have access to the exact same literature as MIT students.

And if you are too lazy to read but would rather watch, you

can download the video lectures of the course from here:

Online C & C++ courses

www.macs.hw.ac.uk/~rjp/Coursewww/

Any programmer worth his or her salt should understand C and its elder brother, C++. As programming languages go, C and C++ are high level, but basic languages, that are important to gain an understanding of how programming affects the machine. If you are a bit overwhelmed by the MIT course you may skip that and delve right into Professor Pooley's course on C and C++. To effectively use C++ you will need to know C. Both courses are available online and divided into sections. At the end of each section there is a "Programming Milestone"-an exercise seg-

ment that will test your grasp of the preceding chapters. After working out the exercises you can check your answers by click-ing on the link provided.
