What it is
This is a curated curriculum for teaching yourself computer science, written in Brazilian Portuguese. It selects courses, mostly from open content published by Brazilian universities and institutes, and arranges them in a suggested order with recommended readings. It is a guide to learning, not a program you install.
- Follow the suggested course order to study computer science fundamentals on your own
- Use the study-technique and Git/GitHub sections to prepare before starting the main curriculum
- Find recommended free courses and readings for each subject
- Ask questions and discuss course problems with other students through the Telegram server or GitHub issues
Great for
- Brazilian Portuguese speakers who want a structured self-study computer science curriculum
- Self-motivated learners who can study mostly on their own
- People who want to build a foundation in core computing concepts rather than a specific job skill
- Learners who want community support through Telegram and GitHub issues
Not ideal for
- People who want training in a specific technology or framework, because the README says the course focuses on fundamentals rather than market skills
- Learners who need a formal degree or certificate from this project, since the course is self-directed
- Readers who need English-language materials, since the course is in Portuguese
- Learners who need close instructor guidance, since the README describes the study as mostly independent
