Repository Structure

You can find useful content inside the semester folders. Currently, there are 3 semesters. Each semester folder contains a subfolder for each course and a README describing the semester. Each course folder also includes a brief README explaining the subject.

The structure is as follows:

• Semester 1:

  • PG (Programming)
  • LSD (Digital Systems Logic)
  • Eletr (Electronics)
  • CDI (Calculus)
  • TMD (Discrete Mathematics)

• Semester 2:

  • AED (Algorithms and Data Structures)
  • ALGA (Linear Algebra)
  • LIC (Computer Science Laboratory)
  • RC (Computer Networks)
  • AC (Computer Architecture)

• Semester 3:

  • IPW (Introduction to Web Programming)
  • ISI (Introduction to Information Systems)
  • PSC (Programming of Computational Systems)
  • TDS (Software Development Techniques)
  • PE (Probability and Statistics)

All assignments are located inside their respective course folders. Some assignments have dedicated GitHub repositories, such as:

Project	Course	Semester	Focus	Tech
SSnake 2.0	Programming (PG)	1	Event-driven architecture, state management	Kotlin
LIC Assignment	Computer Science Laboratory (LIC)	2	Hardware–software communication, low-level systems	VHDL, Kotlin
IPW Assignment	Introduction to Web Programming (IPW)	3	Full-stack web application	JavaScript, HTML, CSS
TDS Assignment	Software Development Techniques (TDS)	3	Software architecture, testing, design patterns	Kotlin

Note: Reports are written in Portuguese (the course teaching language). Documentation and code are mainly in English but may contain some Portuguese sections.

Useful Learning Resources

You can find a curated collection of learning materials inside the LearningResources folder.

This folder is organized by topic, where each subject has its own dedicated directory and descriptive README.md. It serves as a centralized space for structured study resources, reference material, and high-quality content collected over time across different areas of computer science and software engineering.
