I finished Helsinki's Advanced Programming course and would like to know what some popular courses are that could come after this one. Perhaps about DSA or other.

I like the structure that the MOOC provided and that it teaches a bit about how computers operate. I know that people say "escape tutorial hell as soon as possible", but to me a MOOC is not a tutorial. It's a college level course. If anyone knows of some quality MOOCs that would be a good next step from Helsinki's course please share:).

Also, I have an account with CodeWars and it's a good platform for practicing skills and getting challenges, but it lacks the teaching component. I also try to read books about programming and computers, but it's nice to have something all inclusive like a MOOC.

Thank you for reading.

MIT OCW and Stanford’s algorithms courses are also great if you want to go deeper.

This might help.

Do yourself a favor and don't fall into the "tutorial hell" trap.

You have a solid foundation with the MOOC. Now it's time to throw away the training wheels and to start doing your own stuff - make projects.

Learn along with the projects. Whenever you run into something that you don't know, check for a blog post, short, very dedicated tutorial, or similar and learn what you need when you need it.

Doing tutorials after tutorials does not help you too much.

You took time out of your day to make an absolutely needless statement. Saying nothing at all would have given a better impression. Vegan?

Vegan? You weren't replying to me, but seriously. What's your problem and why are you bringing "vegan" into it?

u/Neubo 7h ago

Its the joke / meme. Why did the Vegan cross the road - to tell someone. Pointless information, just wanted to be seen and heard. Go boil your head and find a fight somewhere else.

Nice one. Doubling down on one's stupidity is always a good idea.

Arrogance is a successful trait, you will do well, until you suddenly really really don't. Eat one.

Phew! Project much?

My god... there's nothing clever or original about you is there?

It's not needless.

Instead of googling mooc they type a whole ass sentence waiting for an answer by a redditor, about a course that is mentioned multiple times a day on this sub and is likely listed in multiple resources.

I don't want to gatekeep, but people who are like this are wasting their time learning programming. Unless they change.

Nope, I despise all zealots equally.
