Four Semesters of Computer Science in Six Hours | Best | Scoop.it

This course is actually for any developer. The first and likely last book about this topic you need to read is Cormen's Intro to Algorithms (MIT). This book, while not super fun to read, will serve you throughout your entire career as a programmer. While computers have made leaps and bounds, we're still using the same algorithms and this book will impart that knowledge to you.
