A few great sources of wisdom for a computer science students

Hey friends often as a student you are looking for an idea, for your project, seminar or just something to kill time.Some of you might have the passion to bring about the next big change in computing.Now if you are one of the lucky few who get admission to some coveted institutes(like IITs) you can go to your professors, for others its not an option.In most of the second tier colleges the professors have not got even a single paper published, how are they going to help you.So, today I am going to share about a few sites and resources which will help the not so lucky students.
1.Communications of the ACM:
   This is the monthly magazine of the Association for Computer Machinery featuring the state of current research and a lot of interesting columns by eminent computer scientists.This magazine is a must read for a computer science student.Of course you can find topics for your seminar and project work from here and who knows you might even be inspired to develop the next famous algorithm.Reading the current issue requires subscription but you can read the issues from last month and older from magazine archives without subscription here.


2.Stanford Engineering Everywhere:
   Through SEE Stanford is offering some of its most popular engineering classes free of charge to students and educators around the world.This includes the three course introduction to computer science taken by most of the Stanford's  graduates along with seven other courses.This is a great opportunity for students around the world to access truly world class education.
     
3.Careercup.com :


   This is a great website for anyone preparing for coding job interviews.Here you can find the latest questions asked by top companies with solutions. 
         You can suggest any other resources that I have missed in the comment section below and your feedback and sugessions are always welcome :D.

Working in his small office with a few close scholars he solved problems of great importance which shaped development of computer science as a respectable scientific discipline. He was born to a chemist father and a mathematician mother. His mother was a lasting influence on his approach to mathematics and his emphasis on elegance. Those days computers were a novelty and he happened to be a programmer by accident. A. van Wijngaarden, the then director of the Computation Department at the Mathematical Center in Amsterdam offered him a job, which he accepted becoming Netherlands’ first official programmer. When Dijkstra married Maria (Ria) C. Debets in 1957, he was required as a part of the marriage rites to state his profession. He stated that he was a programmer, which was unacceptable to the authorities, there being no such profession at that time in The Netherlands. And, believe it or not,...
