For curiosity I did a search on "Lecture" keyword in book's list and the result is :

Lectures on scientific computing with python
Scipy Lecture Notes
Lectures Notes on Algorithm Analysis and Computational Complexity (Fourth Edition)
Practical and Theoretical Aspects of Compiler Construction (class lectures and slides)
Lecture Notes of Linear Algebra
Computer Musings (lectures by Donald Knuth)
High-Performance Scientific Computing ((class lectures and slides))
UNIX Application and System Programming, lecture notes

Hope that time goes well. Still I'm not so confided with medium-high level Git operations but it's an experience matter i guess. Git seems be not a trivial tool

Merged. I would appreciate a review of other titles in our list that would fit in the "computer science" heading.

I looked at the three titles with "lecture notes" in the title. Two of them were more book than notes, the other I would remove except I don't know if the author is significant enough to merit an exception. (We'd include a collection of Donald Knuth's envelope backs and napkins if they were online!)

What you mean? maybe your request is related with issue #3053 ? By the way take a glance there when you can and tell what you thing about

I'm based on your knowledge/experience here and on that topic in particular; as you have already seen was for me i would take all free open material(really i did my best to convince you about Lectures LOL) because for me (also lectures. notes, exercises whatever) is knowledge and it's for free (I'm very sensible about people which money divide make them almost impossible take access to knowledge) although aren't books.

Why here we're focused only on books and not and trash all other free material? were so difficult create corresponded files free-programming-category.md ? i already question you that but i got no response back

And return in theme what are the books you would remove?

We'd include a collection of Donald Knuth's envelope backs and napkins if they were online!

Don't get what you mean can you rephrase? maybe you mean we're interested in everything Knuth had written?

OT: In my student's era i used to read few pages of his book on data structures every saint night before go to bed and so far that pays me :)

1. you created a new category "computer science". It is likely that other books in our list should be moved into the new category, if it is to remain viable.
2. The list is called "free programming books". So there are three criteria, free, programming, and book.
3. DEK's "Computer Musings" is included in our list of books even though it probably belongs in courses. Its presence should not be construed as defining what we consider to be a book. There are exceptions to every rule.

Got it thanks. That's a classification really hard work see #3053 However as concern me personally when compatible with every day life's commitments i start do it little by little

The list is called "free programming books". So there are three criteria, free, programming, and book.

ok for free and programming but on book(vs lecture etc whatever ) i have to get it yet(Sorry the silliness but what is the precise definition of a book? ) maybe with time. On the other hand you are here so np

DEK's "Computer Musings" is included in our list of books even though it probably belongs in courses. Its presence should not be construed as defining what we consider to be a book. There are exceptions to every rule.

Agree in exceptions on exceptional beings
