TeachyourselfCS or FunctionalCS which to choose to self learn CS?


Hi HN. Hope you're all safe at home without getting infected. I'm looking to self learn computer science especially since I have a lot of time wfh currently. I already have a background in programming and data structures. I was hoping to follow a curriculum to fill in the gaps I have.

I came across 2 resources

* https://functionalcs.github.io/curriculum/

* https://teachyourselfcs.com/

Can anyone please give me feedback on which one to follow / which is better and why? Any feedback about the resources would be much appreciated. Thank you so much.

I've been following teachyourselfcs and I find it great. The resources mentioned are top notch. I just had a look at the functionalcs link and it seems to have 2/3 resources per subject compared to 1 per subject in teachyourselfcs. I feel this will make it more easy to not get stuck with paralysis by analysis.

I don't know if the other curriculum is superior or not though. Someone more experienced should pitch in regarding that.
