I looked into this when I was trying to figure out how to round out my CS education. The lack of community is the primary reason I went with OSSU instead.

Genuine question: why do you believe Teach Yourself CS is superior to OSSU especially in light of the community aspect?

Full disclosure: I’m a “social organizer” for one of the cohorts in OSSU and blog OSSU sometimes

I think https://csprimer.com/courses/ is a good fit if you also want community. I think Oz Nova who is behind csprimer was one of the authors of teach yourselfcs

I’ve been looking closely at this too. $75/month isn’t bad all things considered.

I’d love to hear more personal anecdotes from people who are active in CSPrimer. Downsides I could see (not having joined):

- Some parts of CSPrimer are not finished yet.

- How active is the community really? It’s hard to tell without joining and seeing for yourself.

- How much access to Oz do you really get (same as above)? - How much mentorship do you really get (again same as above).

He is pretty active and holds regular Q&A sessions.

Simple and to the point curriculum.
