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."

"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." (CHOICE magazine review.)

"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."

"GeeksforGeeks is a comprehensive educational portal that empowers learners across domains—spanning computer science, school-level subjects, commerce, essential software tools (Excel, Word, etc.), exam preparation resources (GATE, JEE, NEET etc.), and provides them with top notch interview preparation services. With over 50 million registered users globally, and millions of daily visitors, GfG provides a vast and growing collection of tutorials, interview guides, concept explainers, coding challenges, practice problems, and structured courses, catering to both academic and professional needs.

"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.

"The Software Engineering Institute (SEI) at Carnegie Mellon University is a Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC)—a nonprofit, public–private partnership that conducts research for the United States government. One of only 10 FFRDCs sponsored by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), the SEI conducts R&D in software engineering, systems engineering, cybersecurity, and many other areas of computing, working to introduce private-sector innovations into government."

"ACM brings together computing educators, researchers, and professionals to inspire dialogue, share resources, and address the field's challenges. As the world’s largest computing society, ACM strengthens the profession's collective voice through strong leadership, promotion of the highest standards, and recognition of technical excellence. ACM supports the professional growth of its members by providing opportunities for life‐long learning, career development, and professional networking."

"The Association for Women in Computing (AWC) was founded in Washington, D.C. in 1978 and is one of the first professional organizations for women in computing. AWC is dedicated to promoting the advancement of women in the computing professions. Our members include many types of computer professionals, such as programmers, system analysts, operators, technical writers, Internet specialists, trainers and consultants."

"The Institute for African American Mentoring in Computing Sciences (iAAMCS, pronounced ‘I am CS’) aims to significantly increase the number of Black/African Americans pursuing and completing the PhD in computing fields through a national mentoring model. iAAMCS provides opportunities for hands-on computing research practice through summer and academic year research experiences, robotics competitions, and methodological trainings. Professional career development is offered through conference attendance, writing workshops, targeted presentations, and technical webinars. Additionally, a network of student peer mentors is supported through a scalable web-based application model. Throughout these experiences, students are also exposed to and work alongside leading mentors in computing who are able to share successful strategies for navigating the academy and the profession."

"ISSA is the community of choice for international cybersecurity professionals dedicated to advancing individual growth, managing technology risk and protecting critical information and infrastructure.
The Information Systems Security Association (ISSA)® is a not-for-profit, international organization of information security professionals and practitioners. It provides educational forums, publications, and peer interaction opportunities that enhance the knowledge, skill, and professional growth of its members."

"The Network Professional Association (NPA) is a nonprofit trade association made up of and for IT/Networking professionals who share the common core pillars of Career Growth, Professional Development and Ethical Integrity. The NPA also serves as an advocate for the IT/Networking profession."

"The USENIX Association is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, dedicated to supporting the advanced computing systems communities and furthering the reach of innovative research. We are known for organizing conferences and publishing research, but our greatest strength lies in building communities in computing systems. We represent the interests of our communities in a variety of ways, including our professional affiliation with the Computing Research Association."

In his role as a computer scientist and New York Times bestselling author, Cal Newport is known for his writing about the impact of technology on society, and the struggle to work and live deeply in a world increasingly mired in digital distractions. On the Deep Questions podcast, Cal answers questions and shares case studies about putting these ideas into practice in the real world.

Programming Throwdown educates Computer Scientists and Software Engineers on a cavalcade of programming and tech topics. Every show will cover a new programming language, so listeners will be able to speak intelligently about any programming language. (Patrick Wheeler/Jason Gauci)

This podcast features interviews with Computer Science researchers. Hosted by Dr. Jack Waudby researchers are interviewed, highlighting the problem(s) they tackled, solutions they developed, and how their findings can be applied in practice. This podcast is for industry practitioners, researchers, and students, aims to further narrow the gap between research and practice, and to generally make awesome Computer Science research more accessible.

"CISA works closely with public sector, private sector, and international partners, offering technical assistance, information security, and education to protect our nation’s critical infrastructure from a broad range of threats. "Through CISA Central, CISA coordinates situational awareness and response to current cyber, communications, and physical incidents."
