Hey all! Seth & Sam here from College Compendium. We are two university students who owe a lot of our computer science education to a collection of disjoint, online resources we've only discovered after tirelessly searching through forums, education platforms, and course webpages. For anyone who isn't an overcaffeinated college student, however, this endless pursuit of high-quality CS course curriculums is not sustainable, nor is it an efficient way of organizing all that the internet has to offer! So we decided to solve this problem with College Compendium, an open source collection of 650+ university CS courses for builders, hackers, data enthusiasts, creatives, first-time coders, and anyone in between. Spend your time learning, not digging for content! A few things you can do on our site: - Search and filter courses by topic, university, year, curriculum type, and education level. (Play around and see if there is another approach to search!)) - Toggle between grid and table views to adjust how you view data. (For power users, the raw CSV/Excel/JSON is available on our GitHub). - Contribute to the project directly through our site or on our GitHub. We're happy to answer any questions, and would love feedback on the site's navigation, course offerings, and usability! This is Seth and I's first collaboration. How did we do?

Do you support introductory courses? How do I filter for beginner classes? And great product!

@allyson_horn Hi Allyson, yes! We have classes ranging from introductory courses all the way to advanced graduate courses! In the search bar, make sure to type "intro" or "introductory" as a separate word when searching for a language, school, or topic. This will help you narrow down to intro courses.

@esskayesss Great choice!

Thank you for sharing. Is the intention that one can access the courses content (slides or recordings)? I clicked on a few courses but couldn’t find the learning material. Am I missing something?

@janahrend Hi Jan, thank you for checking it out. The intention is to be able to access varying levels of course content - some pages have written notes, some have slides, video lectures, or just reading materials. If you come across any courses that do not have anything listing above, it's possible they were removed (so please let us know if this is the case).

@tweeteratus Maybe! Or a partnership ;).

As someone who has firsthand experience with college-level CS courses, College Compendium provides one source for learning that is organized and thorough. Every college pursues CS education differently and it is important to see the various methods of learning that best suit each individual. College Compendium provides an easy and intuitive learning experience.
