### 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.
