A community-maintained collection of advice, curated links, book lists, and course recommendations for NUS Computer Science freshmen, originally written by seniors in 2012. It is a Markdown document on GitHub, not software.

Use cases

  • advice for starting a computer science degree
  • what should CS freshmen learn first
  • recommended books and lectures for CS students
  • introduction to CS specializations like grad school or game programming
  • NUS School of Computing course recommendations
  • learning resources for new programmers

When to choose

  • you are an NUS computing freshman seeking senior advice
  • you want a curated reading list of classic CS essays, books, and lectures
  • you want informal guidance on CS specializations and university life

When to avoid

  • you need structured courseware or interactive tutorials
  • you need up-to-date NUS curriculum details, as much content dates from 2012
  • you are looking for software or a tool rather than a document
