⁉ How to use it

Up to down, use color coding to know the topic's difficulty of the topic, green are easy/basic, yellow are intermediate and red are for advanced/hard topics. I recommend doing the projects #1 and #2 while learning, personally i feel practicing while learning makes more sense and give you more oppurtionity in understanding how really things work. Below, you'll find categories for every topic and many helpful links

New to software engineering?!

If you are new to software engineers, don't have enough experience. I'd recommend kicking off your learning path by checking CS50 Course from Harvard you'll learn the entry point to Computer Science world
