So I have realised that I'm quite a shoddy programmer.

This is what happens when you learn from "Instant" online courses : You skip over the fundamentals.

So to remedy that I"m on a journey.

I am currently following a course of udemy:

###

Computer Science 101: Learn Computer Science to become a better Programmer and Software Engineer.
-------------------
The course basically teaches you what the Big(0) is and also teaches the various memory models like Arrays and Linked Lists (It's more of a close to the metal approach)

####

This course is helping me understand memory, after @design_RG exposed me to drum memory. I got fascinated with the way the register works and everything and now i want to first understand CompSci fundamentals before jumping into languages.

But the problem is that I feel Memory is only part of the equation.

The reason I decided to get into CompSci at 29 was because I was interested in Logic.

I wonder if anyone knows a good cheap online resource to understand the fundamentals of Algorithms.

As I've always known that these courses that teach the rocks of this craft always have the word Data Structures and Algorithms in them,

I have a course that covers Data Structures in a language agnostic way.

Anyone know of a similar cheap course that covers Algorithms too?? Does this even exist or is it a product of my imagination?

I'm a terribly shoddy programmer in many respects too :) maybe try codewars.com/ which I haven't used yet, but I was looking for something else 'like' this that used to exist years ago, unfortunately I don't recall and it was probably swallowed by the internet.

doing kata is always a good method of polishing your skills.

@binsrc Just reminded me one more thing. You can also try hackerrank.com/
They have challenges designed to improve Algorithms and logical parts.

Dunno, but that looks pretty fun. Nothing beats actual problem solving.
