Site Map

Organized links to almost everything in site

"Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better"
- Maya Angelou
This SiteMap page contains links to almost all of the important content from the site, organized into Code Bits, Stories and Bites, Code Repositories, Engineering content, and links to things you may find Interesting. Content for this site is incomplete but growing. The enabled links are nearly complete, and disabled links show where contents are headed. Think of the disabled links as a specification of things to be added. It is a work in progress with a lot of completed content.

Threads

Threads are linked sets of pages that all focus on a single topic or story. There are many defined in this site, so this table is intended to help you sort them out and find what you need. Maroon links point to incomplete threads. Each thread provides pages with top and bottom menus containing "Prev" and "Next" buttons and "Pages" button for navigating withing the thread. This SiteMap page is part of the Site thread and has these controls.

Code Bits

Bits are small pieces of compilable code that illustrate basic syntax, idoms, and small patterns for the C++, Rust, C#, Python, and JavaScript programming languages. Their purpose is to make it easy to compare small bits of a language you are trying to learn with the same bits written in a language you already know.
 
Code Bits
Comparison of small bits of syntax, idioms, and patterns
Tooling Identifies a useful tool set, instructions for installing and how to build code in C++, Rust, C#, Python, and JavaScript.
C++, C#, Rust,
Python, JavaScript
Most pages in this site will open at page top. These Bits pages open at their last scroll position. This makes it easier to compare code.

Stories and Bites

Stories are sets of linked web pages that focus on one topic, e.g., Rust Story, C++ Story, and others listed below. They collect topic related resources from this site and build it into an ebook like story. Readers are presented a starting point and handed the story's content in an ordered sequence that provides instruction, diagrams, and exercises to help you gain proficiency with the topic. Bites are single pages that focus on one part of a story's content in greater detail or from a different perspective. All bites that relate to one of the stories are linked into an ordered collection of web pages that are easy to navigate. Most bites also have exercises.

Code Repositories

This site hosts more than 100 Repositories of code from several languages. The code is organized first by language, then by type, e.g., Utilities, Tools, Components, Libraries, Projects, and Demonstrations. Each repository page provides documentation for a github repository, describing its design structure, useage, and often sample output. That page links to the github repository so you can look at all of the code for that item.
