Computer Science Wiki

General Introduction

In order to get started with learning computing, you'll want a primer on how to use Linux. So, first take a look at linux-basics.md if you haven't already, you'll need to know what's in there before reading anything else.

Data Structures

Here is a collection of wiki entries regarding data structures:

Wiki Entry	Usage Case
hashmaps.md	NOTE: TODO
heaps.md	When you want to add elements to a datastructure quickly, and you want to efficiently peek and remove the "smallest" element out of the data structure
bbst.md	NOTE: TODO

Advanced Linux

For using Linux at a more advanced level, you'll need a deeper understanding of how it works. This includes an explanation of what Linux does, and it also includes a full description of what bash can do.

Wiki Entry	Usage Case
linux.md	Explains everything you need to know about the Linux Kernel
bash.md	Explains the full usage send semantics of bash

Creating and Hosting a website

Here is a collection of the wiki entries that will help one learn how to create and host their own website:

Wiki Entry	Usage Case
apache.md	Used for learning how to host static HTML/CSS/JS files. (NOTE: Deprecated in favor of NodeJS and other modern backends with built-in static file support)
nodejs.md	NOTE: TODO (Used for learning how to setup a NodeJS backend, with static file serving and optional Typescript)
mysql.md	Learning how to setup a MySQL instance, and send commands to create and modify the MySQL database

Systems-level computer science

For learning how a computer works on a CPU-instruction-by-CPU-instruction hardware-level basis, you can use the following wiki entries:

Wiki Entry	Usage Case
operating-systems.md	NOTE: TODO
filesystems.md	Explains the details of the ext4 filesystem
optimizing-compilers.md	Will explain how a compiler can take your C code, and optimize it to go 3-10x faster than what those lines of C directly translate to in assembly
