I'm looking for a good book on the fundamentals of CS. Any suggestions?

• cs-topics

  822 37 0.0

  My personal curriculum covering basic CS topics. This might be useful for self-taught developers... A work in development! This might take a very long time to get finished!

Not a book but https://teachyourselfcs.com/ if you want typical curriculum and also not a CS book but good "Computer Science Fundamentals" (free online).

Also I recommend starting from "Code: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software". Coolest book ever.

• book

  626 14,290 8.7 Rust

  The Rust Programming Language

  

It might feel very low level at first but once you understand these fundamental building blocks of computers you will be really well equipped to build upon this knowledge and learn higher level concepts. I also think the Rust Programming book (https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/) is a great resource for general programming knowledge. Some sections e.g. on the borrow checker and lifetimes aren’t 100% applicable to general programming knowledge but I still recommend it. It is more of a 201 level book instead of 101 though.

I would suggest to read beginning part of SICP, with out actually diving into reading chapters, why SICP matters ? => (https://people.eecs.berkeley.edu/~bh/sicp.html).

Take a look at Norvig's essay (https://norvig.com/21-days.html) and suggestions from teachyourselfcs.com.

https://github.com/ossu/computer-science is also a good one.
