Free Access Books/Resources for Computer Engineering (and Computer Science) Students
Important Note
These Books and Resources all use licenses that permit at least personal (non-commercial) use.
⚠️ This Collection is Work in Progress ⚠️
To do:
- Table of Contents
- Complete 'Computer Architecture';
- Add 'Operational Research' in 'Math';
- Electricity Department a bit weak;
- Complete Syllabus (https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Bachelor_of_Computer_Science has a good list);
- Deposit everything here (?)
