Learning Resources

Most of these I have not used. I’m putting this list here in the hopes you find it useful

Other link lists

• Teach Yourself Computer Science
• Fantastic [Programming] Learning resources

Programming and Computer Science

• Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs or for JavaScript. I hear there’s also a Python version floating around.
• Computer Science from the Ground Up

Systems Programming

Pretty much anything that uses the C Programming Language is lumped in here.

• Beej’s Guide to C Programming - Got my start with C by reading the first few chapters of this. I recommend.
• Beej’s Guide to Network Programming
• POSIX Threads Programming
• Operating Systems: Three Easy Pieces

Computer Graphics

• Lode’s Computer Graphics Tutorial: Raycasting - Basic 2D raycasting. Fun to follow along and implement it yourself.
• Learn OpenGL - Requires decent knowledge of C++
• WebGL2 Fundamentals - Requires a decent knowledge of JavaScript
• Ray Tracing in One Weekend

Rust (Programming Language)

• The Rust Book
• The Rust Reference
• Google’s Comprehensive Rust
• Rust Language Cheat Sheet
• Code That Counts - demonstrating various optimizations for the simple task of counting.
• Rust GTK4 Book - Using the GTK GUI framework with Rust.

Cryptography

• CryptoHack
• Cryptopals - Puzzles related to breaking ciphers

Other

• Practical Typography - Easy read and much recommended to anyone who has anything to do with making text.

Challenge Sites

Websites where you learn by completing tasks in a sequence.

• Project Euler - The intersection of mathematics and programming.
• CryptoHack - Cryptography
• Advent of Code - Yearly event where a new programming challenge is released every day up to Christmas. Plenty of things to be learned by doing the problems in the years of backlog.

Blogs

I find the things these people do neat

Technical

• 30fps.net - Computer Graphics.
• Paul Bourke - 360° images and Computer Graphics.
• Linus Åkesson - Combines music, old hardware, and impressive software. Known for making crazy things. Here are some of my favorites:
  • Parallelogram
  • Lunatico
• mitxela - Check out this one about plotters

Non-technical

• brr.fyi - Now ended blog about living on Antarctica and the south pole.

This list is incomplete; I add pages as I find them.
