I was looking up a computer science term on Wikipedia the other week and as is wont to happen, one thing led to another and I was about 5 or 6 articles deep on a trail of discovery and research to build up my knowledge.
As I realized I was randomizing myself and getting way off the original track, I decided to start assembling the links in one location for my own reference if not some other geek without the funds for their own degree.

Perhaps a better approach would be to have a look at the websites of the CS departments of various universities. Many have the full course notes (often with exercises) available for anyone to download. MIT's OpenCourseware is one example. This would give you a more structured curriculum (one problem with teaching yourself is that you often don't know what you don't know).

I just found Google's CS Curriculum Search, which appears to be exactly what you would need to find all the best CS materials from university websites.

Wikipedia is so riddled with errors that it would do more harm than good to someone with no other experience. Just use Google to find reputable web pages. Forget Wikis for this purpose.
