This is my modified version of John Washam's Google Interview University, adding in additional resources and removing the Google interview focus to make it solely about CS and programming in general.
This will all be done in line with my regular web development work and practice, which always takes precedent since it's what the job is in!

GIU - I will program an implementation of each subject in C, C#, and Python. - I may not have time to do each of these, but I'll try to do all. I will have a seperate GitHub repo for each language, organized in folders for each subject. - Before writing any code on PC, I will draw it out on a whiteboard or on sketchbook paper. - For subjects with no implementation, I'll take copious notes.
- Work on problem recognition, learning when to use the right data structures and algorithms.
- Implement Algorithm Design Canvas?
- Use large sketchbook as a sofa whiteboard
- Purchase a whiteboard?
- Challenge Sites:
- LeetCode, TopCoder, Project Euler, Codewars, HackerRank, Codility, InterviewCake, InterviewBit
- C++ Primer Plus
- Unix and Linux System Administration Handbook
- The Linux Command Line
- Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software
- Site Reliability Engineering
- Learn vi(m) [IN PROGRESS]
- Take list of additional learning from GIU
