What are some online courses to learn computer science algorithms?

Thanks for the A2A. http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/6-189-a-gentle-introduction-to-programming-using-python-january-iap-2011/ https://www.edx.org/course/mitx/mitx-6-00-1x-introduction-computer-1841#.U5r7ioUjTfU ( Introduction to Computer Science and Programming Using Python) http://www.openculture.com/computer_science_free_courses Good luck!

Since you have specifically asked for Python based tutorials, I will recommend these: 1. https://www.udacity.com/course/cs101: It is an intro course that teaches you Python and various programming concepts. 2. https://www.udacity.com/course/cs215: This one takes up from where the intro course left off. 3. https://www.udacity.com/course/cs313: You can take this one after the previous two. Depending on your previous experience, you may skip the intro course.

Thanks for A2A ... there is a cource on Udacity about software debugging .. its a really nice course and could like introduce you to real world programming. http://www.udacity.com/course/cs259

Just started on coursera today. Introduction to algorithms. Robert sedgewick. Pretty good.

http://freevideolectures.com/Course/1941/Introduction-to-Algorithms http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/6-046j-introduction-to-algorithms-sma-5503-fall-2005/video-lectures/ https://www.udacity.com/course/cs215 Try these and pick out the one which really drives you :)

If you are willing to learn some Javascript (should be pretty straightforward if you know Python), I wrote a course for Codecademy that teaches asymptotic complexity.  This is a really important foundation for learning CS algorithms.  A thorough understanding of the topic will give you the vocabulary you need to understand the tradeoffs inherent in the use of pretty much any algorithm you'll ever encounter. It can be found at: http://www.codecademy.com/courses/big-o/0/1

Thanks for A2A. I suggest you go for basic concept of python from http://www.tutorialspoint.com/python/,https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/index.html. Then for algorithms and data structure visit this site http://interactivepython.org/runestone/static/pythonds/index.html. This site give you all the ideas and concept about python and most interactive one . Hope this will help U .

There was many  site which can help you to get your computer science algorithms courses. But i  recommend you to go in eduCBA. because that is one of the best site to do any courses. Because they also provide us a certificate after over courses was done. http://www.educba.com/

Learning C is a must as it is more efficient & low-level. If you know C , you can command any other programming language very easily. try http://www.geeksforgeeks.org/ start solving problem based on Arrays from DS section from GeeksforGeeks(as any type of problem can be solved using Array & also helps in Dynamic programming).  best way to develop skills are: 1. Start coding from above website. 2. learn C programming & Dynamic Memory Allocation. 3. learn C++ with STL(STL provides DataStructure) or Java with Collections 4. Solve Puzzlebooks(George Summers) & learn tricks on Number Systems as  much as possible. 5. Read Introduction to Algorithms      Book by Charles E. Leiserson, Clifford Stein, Thomas H. Cormen. Finally switch to python
