    The Missing Semester of Your CS Education 📚

  • jq

    Command-line JSON processor

    I would add jq to the data wrangling section https://stedolan.github.io/jq/

    Being moderately competant at jq on a team that doesn't know jq is a super power.

  • Appwrite

    Appwrite - The Open Source Firebase alternative introduces iOS support. Appwrite is an open source backend server that helps you build native iOS applications much faster with realtime APIs for authentication, databases, files storage, cloud functions and much more!

  • KeenWrite

    Free, open-source, cross-platform desktop Markdown text editor with live preview, string interpolation, and math.

    > have lamented my LaTeX being utterly useless

    ConTeXt integrates Lua. KeenWrite[0] is my text editor that converts Markdown to XHTML then pipes that XML document into ConTeXt for typesetting[1]. ConTeXt does an amazing job of keeping presentation logic separated from the content. Meaning, once you've created a theme template, it's easy to pick it back up to create new ones.

    There's a video series showing how to use KeenWrite.[2]
