Computer Science Resource Guide: Resources on the Web

Self-described as "an evolving scientific literature digital library and search engine that focuses primarily on the literature in computer and information science," this is a free web resource.

Edited by Denis Howe and supported by the Imperial College Department of Computing, "FOLDOC is a searchable dictionary of acronyms, jargon, programming languages, tools, architecture, operating systems, networking, theory, conventions, standards, mathematics, telecoms, electronics, institutions, companies, projects, products, history, in fact anything to do with computing."

"ITL formulates metrics, tests, and tools for a wide range of subjects such as information complexity and comprehension, high confidence software, space-time coordinated mobile and wireless computing, as well as, issues of information quality, integrity, and usability." The website is a gateway to the publications, products, and news of the various ITL programs. Program areas include: biometrics, computer security, health IT, math, networking, statistics, software, and usability.

"CoRR is part of the arXiv e-print service. Submissions to arXiv must conform to Cornell University academic standards. arXiv is owned and operated by Cornell University, a private not-for-profit educational institution."

"Overall, this is one of the most original attempts this reviewer has seen for teaching programming's core principles...Users do not need to install any programs; the editor and compiler are embedded within the website, making it incredibly easy to code, compile, and run programs. Currently, the learning portion of Codeacademy is split into five main tracks containing a number of core lessons: JavaScript Fundamentals, Python, Web Fundamentals, JQuery, and Code Year."
