Udactiy Data Structures and Algorithms Nanodegree?

Hi everyone, I'm really interested in the OMSCS program, but don't have any CS experience with my undergrad degree. I'm a self-taught programmer and have almost 2 years of experience as a software engineer. I want to get some foundational CS experience no matter what, and especially as I consider the OMSCS program. but I don't really have the money right now to afford courses from a college.

Just today, I saw Udacity's Data Structures and Algorithms Nanodegree, which is significantly cheaper than the college course options I'm seeing, and so I wanted to ask here if anyone thought that could be helpful in trying to get accepted, in lieu of college courses. The syllabus includes things like...

  • Big O
  • Data Structures: lists, arrays, linked lists, queues, stacks
  • Recursion
  • Algorithms: binary search, sorting algorithms like bubble sort, merge sort, quick sort, etc
  • Advanced algorithms

And I also wasn't sure how connected the OMSCS program still is to Udacity and what, if any, advantage there might be in having taken something like this from Udacity.

Thanks for any tips!

Udacity has a Data Structures and Algorithms program. It's expensive, but it's pretty good. You have to write your own algos as assignments in the class.

New Udacity "Data Structures And Algorithms" worth it?

Hi! I just noticed Udacity released a new nano degree about Data Structures and Algorithms. I'm a self taught developer and i think this is a topic that has a lot of theory that i don't know very much about (i went to a bootcamp, Ironhack, but they teach no CS related topics at all).

The syllabus is not very detailed and not give much info about the specifics of the topics that it covers.

​

Do you think this nano degree is worth the $600 given that Udacity have a reputation of having "better than average" courses? Also, any books or courses recomendations about this topic that are not that heavy would be appreciated.

For what language in particular? Other than coursera and MIT:
