/Slack-Stock-DAG

This repository holds a list of cool resources for the BITS Pilani CS Group.

Each file contains pinned resources from the corresponding channel on the Workspace. The resources are in the form of lists only temporarily, until we finalise a good enough way to use and display a directed acyclic graph for the same. It is meaningful because:

  • It's a waste to do two tutorials on the same topic only because the second one has a project.
  • One can't do an advanced course without prereqs, but the advanced course will teach a lot.
  • This is the way one usually follows while learning, just in a zigzag way. It'll be much more natural with a graph.
  • Send PRs if you create / find resources other than the ones mentioned.
  • This should especially help beginners who are unsure how to start with any topic.

Once the DAG is completely set up, the next aim is creating a template for everyone to comfortably keep flags on the resources they have finished (probably a red-green DAG). This will be really helpful in the long term, for this allows everyone to show what they know, both to others and themselves. A link to that page would be quite more efficient than a "Intermediate: C++/Python" on your resumè

Apart from the abovementioned benefits over many pre-existing "Awesome Lists" on Github, there's a sidelined benefit that helps a lot in the long run. That is, it is constrained, and biased. Created by seniors from the same university from the same country, this provides a very good path for a junior who'd find themselves in quite a similar situation.
