Not a course, but what what Jennifer Dewalt did (180 websites in 180 days [0]) might help you..

Why is everyone so up in arms about what this girl did? How exactly are you going to learn algorithm analysis by building websites?

The phrase "up in arms" means angry, perhaps angry enough to reach for a weapon. I've never seen anyone angry about what she did.

Building websites won't work, but implementing algorithms in a book like CLRS http://mitpress.mit.edu/books/introduction-algorithms will.
