Academic Resources for Computer Science
August 2016 release. The content and code on this repo is in Preview. It's intended for review and collaboration with Microsoft developer advocates and the academic community under MIT license. Please check back regularly for updated versions. Source: https://github.com/MSFTImagine/computerscience.
This repo provides technical resources for faculty, students, and Microsoft developer advocates for use in computer science learning. The modules cover common cross-platform scenarios including mobile app dev, web dev, internet of things, data science, machine learning, and devops. Content delivery is divided into three groups: Complimentary Course Content, Tech Talks, and Workshops.
Most hands-on learning focuses on how to deploy cross-platform technologies on Microsoft Azure although most of the concepts can be applied across many cloud platform solutions. Academic users can get free Azure from various programs like Free Azure Trial, Microsoft Imagine, Azure Pass, Visual Studio Dev Essentials, or Azure for Research.
Your feedback is appreciated - please fork this repo and contribute!
If you want to report any issues we need to fix. Please log an issue. Include the content section (Tech Talk, Workshop, Course Content), module number and title, along with any error messages and screenshots.
