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 try to 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 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, 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.
