Mr azminewasi,

Off and on for the last 5 years I've been downloading and organizing course material from all the top computer science schools in the US (plus some from Cambridge (UK), plus McGill, U Waterloo and U Toronto (all in Canada), plus other US schools.

Also grabbed a few physics and math and medical courses, but mostly it's computer science.

I have around 315 sets of course materials: lecture slides, syllabuses, homeworks, source code, handouts, readings, old exams, resources, etc. I'm shocked I have that many - looks like I got obsessed.

All this material was on publicly accessible websites, and I'm not selling any of it.

I tried to attach some pics to show you what I have:

pic 1 course counts by school
pic 2 courses I got from Johns Hopkins
pic 3 details of an OS course from Johns Hopkins
pic 4 topics I have courses for

Are you interested in adding anything I have to your website? Let me know and I'll zip some up (one course per file) and send them your way and you can add them to this site.

Thanks

Oh, Nice! Thank you for reaching out!

Two questions -

  1. Do I have to upload these materials somewhere, or you have the links to access them publicly?
  2. Also, do you want to add these materials into this repo (where they belong subject/topic-wise), or, you want me to do that?

I just tried to attach a .zip file (for one course) to this reply, but it was too big.

I haven't used GitHub much. Should I create my own GitHub repository and let you import the files from there?

I created a private repository for the course files, but the .zip files are too big. The .pdf lecture slides alone are almost always bigger than 25mb zipped up.

I found an article on using the command line to upload files >25MB and <100MB. I'll post back when I've tried that.

In the meantime, what topics/courses are you most interested in adding to your repo?

There are a lot of topics (specially core CS topics) which I can cover. But, I don't want to upload things in the repo - I just want to create a collection of links where people can find these courses freely.

I can do it! If you can upload, that will do.
