Quantum computing is computing at its most esoteric. It's an experimental, enormously complex, sometimes downright confusing technology that's typically the domain of hardcore academics and organizations like Google and NASA. But that might be changing. Today, IBM unveiled an online service that lets anyone use the five-qubit quantum computer it researchers have erected at a research lab in Yorktown Heights, New York.

are tools and project materials necessary to build a general-purpose computer system from the ground up. We also provide a set of lectures designed to support a typical course on the subject.

Computer programming instructor asked some of his students to develop a software program to determine if a rape victim would kill herself. Uhhhh.... Wut. If statement? (Terrible..)

"l be put most spectacularly on display by HoloLens, a wearable computer that uses tricks of light to project three-dimensional virtual objects on top of the environment around the user, allowing them to interact with the "holograms" using voice and gesture commands.They're not really holograms, in the purely technical sense-there are no lasers involved, and the display is not using diffraction or interference to create a holographic projection. Instead, they use a high definition stereographic display and fool the eye into seeing things laid atop the real world, placed in the same context as real-world obje"

"The concept is interesting and well-formed, but in order to earn better than a 'C', the idea must be feasible." This was the response from a Yale University professor after reading about Fred Smith's initial idea of forming a reliable overnight delivery service in a computer information age.

I'm trying to amass a list of programming books that are freely available on the Internet. The books can be about a particular programming language or about computers in general.
