### Core theory
|

|
||||
The Princeton Algorithms courses are highly recommended as a more practical, implementation-focused complement to the more theory-focused Stanford Algorithms courses.
|
||||
Ideally, students would do both sets of courses since they complement each other nicely.
|
||||
However, Part II of Princeton Algorithms is rarely available, so Stanford Algorithms is the recommended choice if you cannot do both.
|
||||
Another difference is that Stanford Algorithms assignments can use any programming language;
|
||||
Princeton Algorithms assignments use Java but don't require extensive Java experience.

## Advanced CS
|
||||
|
||||
Unfortunately, advanced topics in computer science generally have less coverage in online courses.
|
||||
(This is because seldom few make it past beginner-level courses, there is low demand.)
|
||||
Therefore, some of these courses may not be available regularly.

## Electives
|
||||
|
||||
Some of these courses are offered less frequently, but you are encouraged to take them whenever they are available if you're interested.
|
||||
- Compilers is recommended to any student who took a strong interest in the Programming Languages courses.
|
||||
- Natural Language Processing is recommended to anyone who thinks they want to specialize in machine learning, artificial intelligence, etc.
|
||||
- Cryptography is recommended to anyone who wants to learn more about zero knowledge systems and other advanced topics in cryptography.
|
||||
- The Princeton Algorithms courses are highly recommended as a more practical, implementation-focused complement to the Stanford Algorithms courses recommended as part of Core CS.
|
||||
However, Part II is rarely available, so they are electives at this time.
|
||||
Note that the assignments are in Java, but don't require extensive Java experience.
