Git-it is a desktop (Mac, Windows and Linux) app that teaches you how to use Git and GitHub on the command line. This application contains challenges for learning Git and GitHub, by using real Git and GitHub, not emulators. You'll be learning the awesome (and not so scary) command line and GitHub which means when you finish all of the challenges you'll have real repositories on your GitHub account and green squares on your contribution chart. You will need this app, Git-it as well as a text editor. You'll also of course need Git and the first challenge in Git-it helps you get that set up. But if you want to get a head start, go for it! You'll continue to use Git and your text editor throughout your bright social coding future. We recommend installing GitHub Desktop (free) because it installs Git in the most consistent way across supported operating systems (Windows and Mac).

The Golang Regex Tutorial is a comprehensive learning resource that introduces regular expressions in the Go programming language. It is organized into chapters that progress from beginner-friendly basics to more advanced applications. The tutorial includes explanations, practical examples, and a cookbook section that shows how to apply regex solutions to real-world problems. It also provides insights into alternatives and variations of regex usage within Go. The repository is designed to help developers understand not only the syntax but also the practical implementation of pattern matching in Go. With its structured format, it serves both as an introductory guide and as a reference for intermediate users who want to strengthen their understanding of regular expressions in Go.

Web-CAT is a plug-in based web application for automatically grading programming assignments in many programming languages. This project also provides Eclipse plugins for electronic submission and feedback services directly from the Eclipse IDE.

sicp-pdf is a LaTeX-based PDF version of Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs (SICP), the classic textbook by Harold Abelson, Gerald Jay Sussman, and Julie Sussman. It builds upon the earlier Unofficial Texinfo Format (UTF), which itself was derived from the MIT Press HTML version, but enhances the project by fully converting the source into LaTeX. This conversion allows for high-quality typesetting, improved design options, and the integration of OpenType and Unicode features through XeTeX. The repository contains both Texinfo and LaTeX sources, with automated scripts to keep them in sync during builds. Users can recompile the book locally with a recent TeX Live distribution and the necessary fonts, while Inkscape is required for SVG-to-PDF image conversions. The project is continuously refined to address formatting issues and ensure the text and figures render correctly across platforms.

WordFlashReader is an Rapid Serial Visual Presentation (RSVP) program useful for anyone who has an electronic text or book they wish to read. It flashes each word of the text sequentially and pauses for punctuation. Opens *.txt, *.html, and *.pdf files.

This VM is created for 2 reasons: 1. Very little initial setup work required to make a Library Management System live, within minutes. 2. This system should keep running for Years, without requiring Updates / Breakages. If you are new to Virtual Machines, then please watch the Video below ( taken from my other project. just replace td with koha wherever mentioned ) After starting this VM, please access these websites ( Just Accept Any Warnings ) : Public Website Address: https://koha.local Staff Website Address: https://koha.local:4430 Staff Username: staff Staff Password: change_this from any PC on your Local Network. For better performance, Increase the CPU Count & Memory in the VM's Settings, as available on the physical machine. Also, read the koha guidelines, given on the Wiki Page of this site, for choosing the right hardware resources. Backup the system regularly, to avoid any issues, as in the video. Google Search helps in finding more about Koha.
