About Every-programmer-should-know
Every-programmer-should-know is a GitHub repository that collects technical books, articles, videos, courses, and other references on topics that software developers may find useful. Its sections cover areas such as algorithms, data structures, numbers, strings, latency, memory, distributed systems, machine learning, regular expressions, security, user experience, architecture, code design, engineering philosophy, and development practices.
The author describes the list as highly opinionated and not backed by science. Entries are presented in no particular order and are recommended as suitable regardless of skill level or tech stack. The list links to external resources, so the quality and availability of the linked content are outside the list itself. Contributions from others are welcome.
