Does anyone know where I can find knowledge on computer science? I want to work with computers(coding) and I want some good, solid teaching that I can follow along with. They have Treehouse and Codecademy, but I want more. Trying to work with Ubuntu Linux, some other ones I can't remember.

Github

GitHub launched a new program called the GitHub Student Developer Pack to give students free access to popular development tools and services. GitHub partnered with Bitnami, Crowdflower, DigitalOcean, DNSimple, HackHands, Namecheap, Orchestrate, Screenhero, SendGrid, Stripe, Travis CI and Unreal Engine to launch the program

Stack-exchange
MIT has some great content online

If your have an android phone (it may be on the iphone)..I used learn python and learn c++ app, both are pretty interactive and the c++ has videos associated with three modules.

I use Codeacademy to learn some programming and VisualGo for some basic algorithms, more advanced stuff comes after that and you can just start googling the language name or the algorithm name (in the case of algorithms, it may be easier to google the task you are trying to complete).

Thanks, guys. I checked out GitHub, pretty cool. I'm currently using Codecademy, making progress on Javascript. Trying to learn HTML, jQuery, and Python. The end goal is to code in Ubuntu Linux, but one step at a time. :)
