Saw this recently.

basecs: Exploring the basics of computer science, every Monday, for a year.

It's by Vaidehi Joshi, a software engineer who works at Tilde, a company that includes Yehuda Katz, who worked or works on Ember.js, Rails, JQuery and Rust.

Browsed a few of the posts there. Seems good.

I conduct online courses on Python programming, Unix/Linux (commands and shell scripting) and SQL programming and database design, with personal coaching sessions.

Here are the course details and some testimonials.

DPD: Digital Publishing for Ebooks and Downloads.

Learning Linux or any other Unix-like OS, like macOS or *BSD?
Hit the ground running with my vi quickstart tutorial. I wrote it for two Windows system administrator friends who were given charge of Unix systems. They said it made it easy for them to start using vi on Unix. Since vim is a superset of vi, it works for vim too.

VIDEO: Good article and video about asymptotic complexity of algorithms

By Vasudev Ram

I saw this nice tutorial about the asympotic complexity of algorithms (Big-Oh notation etc.) via this HN thread:

A Gentle Introduction to Algorithm Complexity Analysis (discrete.gr)

It is by Dionysis Zindros of the University of Athens, Greece.

The HN thread has only a few comments as of now, but one of them led to another good resource on this topic:

Asymptotic Notation, by Jackson Steinkamp of Harvard's CS50 program

The video is also embedded below. It is short, but gives a good idea of the topic.

In my next post, I'll do that analysis of the prime number checker that I ported from Q to Python.

Here is the embedded video:



- Enjoy.

compilerbook.org - Introduction to Compilers and Language Design by Prof. Douglas Thain

By Vasudev Ram

Came across this book today:

Introduction to Compilers and Language Design (compilerbook.org)

(a free online textbook by Douglas Thain)

Prof. Douglas Thain is Associate Professor, Computer Science and Engineering, University of Notre Dame, USA.

Excerpts from the page:

[ This online textbook is being released chapter-by-chapter during 2017. The complete book will be available for purchase in the spring 2018 semester.

This textbook is suitable for a one semester undergraduate course in compilers. Guided by this book, students can undertake construction of a compiler which accepts a C-like language and produces working X86 code. The textbook and materials have been developed by Prof. Douglas Thain as part of the CSE 40243 compilers class at the University of Notre Dame.

You are free to download, use, and print these PDFs for personal and academic use. Commercial printing or distribution is prohibited. Instead of copying PDFs, please point students to this page (compilerbook.org) so that they can access the latest version. If you enjoy holding a physical book (like I do!) you will be able to order an inexpensive hardcover edition in 2018. ]

I just read a bit of the book so far, but it seems quite good.
