Scott Young completed the four-year MIT computer science degree curriculum in less than one year. This is a post about how he did it.
During the yearlong pursuit, I perfected a method for peeling those layers of deep understanding faster. I’ve since used it on topics in math, biology, physics, economics and engineering. With just a few modifications, it also works well for practical skills such as programming, design or languages.
Your comment prompted me to sign up to his list, which got the link to his ebook on holistic learning (PDF). He posits holistic learning against rote learning, which appear to be the Programmer's Stone concepts of mapping versus packing.
