Why?

People keep asking me how to get started and I always tell them to go through these resources.

Your First Computer Science Class

Just take this free online course from Harvard. Seriously, don't bother with a bootcamp if you're just looking for the basics this will do it.

Git and Source Version Control

A great book for getting familiar with git and version control is Pro Git by Scott Chacon and Ben Straub. The book is freely available through a creative commons license and it comes in almost every format needed (pdf, mobi, epub, web, etc). It's a little lengthy but to get started one only really has to read the first three or four chapters.

Linux Command Line BASH:

Another great free book on linux command line BASH by William E. Shotts, Jr. I always recommend going through the first and second section. It's been a while since I last read through it but I remember some parts of third section being pretty hardware/os specific so it was hard to do all the examples.

Math Resources

College Level Mathematics: A series of college level math textbooks that are freely licensed and good for referencing. Collected and supported by the American Institute of Mathematics and the National Science Foundation.
