It is a single big index (a README) linking out to many separate free books, tutorials, and cheat sheets organized by topic and language.How is the list organized and where should I start?It's split into two big sections: language-agnostic topics (OS, AI, distributed systems, design patterns, web, big data, etc.) and language-specific sections (Android, C/C++, Java, JavaScript, Python, Go, Rust, Swift, and more); pick your topic or language from the table of contents.
