What this means? That you should do one course at a time. + +The courses already **are** in the order that you should consume them. Just start in the **Introduction** section and after finishing the first course, start the next one. + +**If the course isn't open, do it anyway with the resources from the previous class.** + +### Should I take all courses? + +**Yes**! The intention is to conclude **all** the courses listed here! + +### Duration of the project + +Maybe to finish all the classes we will spend **more time** than with a regular CS course, but I can **guarantee** to you that your **reward** will be proportional to **your motivation/dedication**! + +### How can I track my progress? + +You should create a repository on GitHub to put all files that you created for each course. + +You can create one repository for each course, or just one repository that will contain all files for all courses. The first option is our preferred approach. + +### Cooperative work + +**We love cooperative work**! But is quite difficult manage a large base of students with specific projects. Use our channels to communicate with other fellows and to combine and create new projects. + +### Which programming languages should I use? + +My friend here is the awesome part of the liberty! You can use **any** language that you want to complete the courses. + +The **important** thing for each course is to **internalize** the **core concepts** and be able to use them with whatever tool (programming language) that you touch. + +### Stay tuned + +[Watch](https://help.github.com/articles/watching-repositories/) this repository for futures improvements and general information. ## Next Goals +- Create a slack automatic invitation. - [Adding our university page at Linkedin](https://help.linkedin.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/40128/~/adding-a-new-university-page), so in that way we will be able to add **OSS University** in our Linkedin profile. ## References
