Best books for learning computer science from scratch?

Question

IT education

I'll start with the fact that until the 5th grade we paid for computer science lessons , but they didn’t teach us anything so cool, I already knew everything that was shown. Further, the lessons became free, but they still taught on / off the PC and all its equipment. In grades 10-11, the teacher might not come to class at all, and if he did, they created mails and passed tests all year ...

So, I want to start studying computer science, but I don’t know which sources and books to do it best. I thought to start with the books of the school curriculum from the 7th grade, but I realized that there is 80% of the water, 15% of the nonsense of the "academicians" who wrote these books, and only 5% of really good information. Tried to find it myself, didn't find anything.

Maybe you know textbooks where computer science begins with the school curriculum, but without and soall the obvious stories about what a computer is, that it has a mouse monitor, etc., or sources with topics on which you can study computer science.

I will enter the university in a year, crown hello and thank you, so I want to prepare and then not run at a gallop, not understanding what they are talking about in lectures. I will enter Cybersecurity, and in these industries I want to study computer science, also for a broad understanding of the essence of this offspring and not write code like 90% of programmers.

Answer 1

but I realized that there is 80% water, 15% nonsense of the "academicians" who wrote these books, and only 5% of really good information

How did you define it?

don't write bad code like 90% of programmers

Brave claim.
Start with Code. The Secret Language of Computer Science by Charles Petzold is an excellent book for understanding the basics of computer science. Next, take textbooks on OS, Networks, Algorithms. Lastly, I highly recommend "Grocaem Algorithms".

Answer 2

but without all the obvious stories, what is a computer, that it has a mouse monitor, etc.

OK. If I'm not mistaken, this is even written in textbooks for universities. from fools.

))))
The series "classics of computer science" is quite interesting.
