Ask HN: Any detailed explanation of computer science
Any detailed easily understandable explanation of computer science from bottom-up like Feynman's lectures explanation of physics.
Boolean algebra
Boolean logic gates / (set theory)
CPU / cache
Memory / storage
Data types (signed integers, floats, decimals, strings), encoding
...
A bottom-up (topologically sorted) computer science curriculum (a depth-first traversal of a Thing graph) ontology would be a great teaching resource.
One could start with e.g. "Outline of Computer Science", add concept dependency edges, and then topologically (and alphabetically or chronologically) sort.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_computer_science
There are many potential starting points and traversals toward specialization for such a curriculum graph of schema:Things/skos:Concepts with URIs.
How to handle classical computation as a "collapsed" subset of quantum computation? Maybe Constructor Theory?

This is also great:
- "Coding Interview University" https://github.com/jwasham/coding-interview-university
Neither these nor the ACM Curriculum are specifically topologically sorted.
