The edX version of MIT's computational thinking courses, split into two parts.
6.00.1x covers Python fundamentals and algorithmic thinking; 6.00.2x goes deeper
into data structures, stochastic thinking, and simulation. A solid alternative to
the OCW version if you prefer a more structured format with graded assignments.
Free to audit (full access to all materials). Verified certificate available for
an additional fee if needed.

The official textbook companion to MIT's 6.100L course. Covers computational thinking, Python programming,
algorithms, data structures, and basic statistics — written by John Guttag, one of MIT's core CS educators.
Worked through this alongside my internship at NAIC. More structured than the lecture slides alone —
worth having open while going through the OCW course.
MIT's official introductory CS and Python course, freely available on OpenCourseWare. Covers Python fundamentals,
computational thinking, algorithms, recursion, data structures, and object-oriented programming — with full
lecture slides, problem sets, and exams included.
Went through this during my internship at NAIC. Solid foundation before jumping into anything ML-related.
