What is this?
A curated Chinese-language collection of popular computer science e-books, kept as a GitHub repo with about 11.6k stars — a go-to reference for CS study materials.
Is this an app I need to install, or just a list of books?
Just a list — a GitHub repo that indexes e-books by topic. Nothing to install or run; you browse the categories and fetch the books you want.
How do I actually get the books?
The remaining open-source e-books are distributed through the author's WeChat public account '帅地玩编程': you send the keyword '开源电子书' (open-source e-books) and the curated collection is sent back to you.
Can I still download every book the repo mentions?
No — all books associated with publishers were taken down, so the repo itself no longer hosts them; only the open-source e-book set remains available, via the WeChat account.
Everything here is in Chinese — who is it meant for?
Chinese-speaking CS students and developers, especially those building fundamentals or preparing for technical interviews; the author even runs a companion site about interview experiences.
What is the interview site the author launched?
Besides the book list, the author (Shuai Di) opened a small site dedicated to interview experiences (面经) — candidates' real interview questions and write-ups — and the README invites readers to come play with it.
Is the collection still maintained?
The repo is not archived and sits at about 11.6k stars; the README still carries fresh announcements like the interview site launch, so the project looks alive.
Do I need to read Chinese to use it?
Effectively yes — the category names, the book titles and the WeChat delivery flow are all in Chinese, so non-Chinese speakers will get little out of it.
