Well what can we say, everything these days has something to do with computers, internet and some sort of technology. The development of this area is so fast that we’re not the one who dictate if technology should wait for us but most of us are struggling even to just keep up with the current pace. There are just way too many new information and new set of skills that are emerging in today’s modern world. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of them and hopefully movies and stories which are branded as fictions do not turn into non-fictions in the future. New and easier programming languages are sprouting to cater to newer demands and technological advances in various industries today. Basically it’s either we start learning them or we’re losing a lot of opportunities.
The good news is with advancements, resources will also be in abundance. Free ebooks, videos, tutorials, trainings are widely available on the net these days, with a majority of them are available for free. This post echos such effort, listing down 247 free computer science ebooks covering a reasonable amount of topics. We have posted a few other similar posts as well, so feel free to browse around the site, the different categories which you can find on the right bar. Have fun going through the long list below and don’t forget to bookmark our site, share it with your friends and feel free to leave your comments below.
