This is the Curriculum for "Learn Computer Science in 5 Months" By Siraj Raval on Youtube

A YouTube companion curriculum from Siraj Raval outlining a 20-week self-study path through CS fundamentals, data science, and mobile dev. It's a link list, not a course. Aimed at complete beginners who want a structured reading order.

- Covers a reasonable breadth of CS topics in a logical progression — Python first, then data structures, then algorithms, then applications

- All resources point to free or low-cost courses (Coursera, edX, MIT OCW, Automate the Boring Stuff), so the cost barrier is near zero

- Short enough to read in five minutes — no fluff, no padding

- Several links are dead or point to outdated course versions; the edX and Coursera URLs from 2017-2018 have largely rotted

- Last touched in 2021, blockchain week is still in there with no irony, and mobile dev points to Swift/Android docs that have since been completely overhauled

- This is literally a README with 20 bullet points — zero exercises, no projects, no checkpoints, nothing to tell you whether you actually learned anything

- Siraj Raval has a documented history of plagiarism and misrepresentation; following his recommended path is fine, but treating his name as a quality signal is not
