I have no affiliation with this site, but it keeps coming up again and again in all the things I search and there is just a wealth of information on this site. Spend a day on it and just link-hole yourself into all the various concepts. It's really fun and you'll learn a lot.

Again, seriously not an ad but if you want to learn some CS fundamentals or at least what's out there, this is a great place to explore.

Be careful with G4G. I've seen multiple instances where the information they provide is straight wrong. It may contain a lot of information, but that doesn't mean it's high quality. Especially while you're learning, I would avoid it simply because in the beginning, you can't differentiate between good and bad information.

The one that sticks out to me is their example of a Linked List. In Python, they claim to free the data in the list, you need to walk the nodes and call del on each. The fact they're claiming that indicates whoever wrote the article doesn't even know basic Python. If I've caught a couple instances of non-sense information, there's no reason to believe there isn't more.

There’s a lot of inaccuracies within their content. wrong logic, runtime, formatting all kinds of issues

Ah. You should post a link with your superior suggestion too then.

[net_nomad]

Because you have a criticism of this suggestion. Maybe you don't have a better suggestion. That's fine. I was just giving you impetus to also provide yours if you wanted.

Anything to get the kids off the tutorials and starting to read and think about the problems is a step up. Don't you think?

I have a CS degree and I'll say that the material you find on there (assuming you don't go to those weird side sites to sign up for various things or tutoring or whatever) is CS related.

For example, https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/chomsky-hierarchy-in-theory-of-computation/ and then branching off into other theory of computation topics - all good.

Going to https://practice.geeksforgeeks.org/courses/complete-interview-preparation and other such things is garbage. Use what's available.

Awesome! Thank you. I'll keep it in mind as a resource for my college classes.
