You can browse edX for more courses. Some courses by MITx, on science and humanities, are on my TODO list. Afaik, all courses follow this auditing thing. You can access course materials for free, but certificate requires payment. **Note** : If you audit a course, it is made available only for the course duration. Beyond the last date, you cannot access the course anymore. Coursera is another website working similar to edX. * * * Teach Yourself CS is a great website that collects resources about CS topics.

The formatting on that web page is all messed up. There are charts missing, there are references to colours that do not exist. It’s like someone copy pasted the article and never bothered with the formatting. I’m afraid this may cause more confusion than elucidation. ---

> [@anon79501528](#): > > The colours in brackets and the chart you say is missing is at the top of the page? I don’t know. Usually then you write “Observe the chart:” with a colon at the end, that means that the chart follows. If you mean some other chart, you number it and refer to the number. And the colours are referring to the `ls` output (not to the chart at the beginning of the article! The chart is only about the second bullet – “UGO”). However, the `ls` output is not coloured. It’s a mess. > [@anon79501528](#): > > I’m sorry you don’t feel this meets your standards Don’t try to present this as an issue with “my feelings” and “my standards” (whatever that means).

It means your standards are clearly high in terms of clarity and flow of content.
