## About

This is a **solid path** for you that want to graduate in a Computer Science course in your own time, **for free**, with courses from the **best universities** of the World.

Here we will <strike>try to</strike> choose a maximum of **3** courses for each category. Futurely, more categories and/or courses can be added to this list or in a more advanced list.

Initially, we will also give preference for MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) type of courses because those courses were created with our style of learning in mind.

## Becoming an OSS student

Your registration for this graduation course will be effectuated after you create your profile in our [students](/students) folder.

> **"How can I do this?"**

Just fork this repository and create a markdown file named with your **GitHub username**. It’s that simple.

Use the model below to create your own file:

```
# Student Profile

**Name**: YOUR NAME

**GitHub**: [@your_username]()

**Twitter**: [@your_username]()

**Linkedin**: [link]()

# Completed Courses

**Name of the Section**

Course|Files
:--|:--:
Course Name| [link]()
```

> **"Why should I do this?"**

Making a [public commitment](http://renewablewealth.com/articles/the-power-of-a-public-commitment/), we have much more chances to **succeed** in our graduation, know better our fellows and share the things that we have done.

For those reasons we are using that strategy.
