Networking and Programming Languages

As mentioned in the video, I think "Programming Languages: Part A/B/C" should be included so that people don't get too focused on only a single language.

I also think networking/web-technologies (at least basics) should be included. It's important to know how the internet works and how computers communicate and share information.

Semester/Term Format Idea

I commented this on your original open-source-cs degree. I figured I'd do it for this one as well. Here is an example schedule broken up into terms inline with the prerequisites listed on the repo and an estimated time of completion.

Term Schedule Idea

Time Estimations: 66 weeks [~ 1.25 years]

This assumes that the user abides by each term and waits until the term is completed to assume the "cool off period" and does not continue onwards to the next semester.
This assumes max cool off period of 3 weeks is assumed by user in between terms.

Term 1

(13 weeks)

Course	Duration	Schedule
1 Intro to Computer Science	10 weeks	M/W/F
2 Mathematical Thinking in Computer Science	6 weeks	T/TH

4 Python Data Structures	4 weeks	M/W
5 Calculus 1A: Differentiation	12 weeks	T/TH
6 Introduction to Probability and Data	5 weeks	M/W
[if done with # 6 -> # 7]
7 Intro to Statistics	8 weeks	M/W

Cool off period: up to 3 weeks

Term 2

(15 weeks)

Course	Duration	Schedule
1 Using Python to Access Web Data	4 weeks	M/W
2 Introduction to Data Science with Python	3 weeks	M/W
[if done with # 2 -> # 3]

Semester Schedule Format

It'd be cool to see a semester/term schedule format showing a certain number of courses taken per term.
This example adheres to the pre-reqs presented on the original repo and includes an estimated time completion for the whole degree

Term Schedule Idea

Time Estimations: 78 weeks (~ 1.5 years).

This assumes that the user abides by each term and waits until the term is completed to assume the "cool off period" and does not continue onwards to the next semester.
This assumes max cool off period of 3 weeks is assumed by user in between terms.
