Interesting links and projects:
- The Architecture of Open Source Applications
- Coding Curves by
Keith Peters
- A great collection of information about how computers draw curves using math (lots and lots of math). Lots of visuals, reads fairly easy. It’s great.
Concepts
- Digraphs and Trigraphs: sequences of two or three characters in source code that are treated by single characters by the compiler.
Project Ideas and Collections
- codecrafters-io/build-your-own-x, a collection of links to instructions on how to build basic (or full-featured) versions of lots of things, all in various languages.
