  I highly recommend Gregor Kiczales‘s CS classes from UBCx as a starting point [0]

  Gregor’s courses are based on the “How to Design Programs” book that Matthias Felleisen at Northeastern, Shriram Krishnamurthi at Brown, and others wrote.

  They have a great paper discussing the pedagogical philosophy called The Structure and Interpretation of the Computer Science Curriculum [1]

  I built https://algodaily.com to serve as a gentle intro to CS fundamentals for non-traditional students. Check it out and see if it's what you're looking for.
