someone wrote a 680 page interactive book on cs algorithms

btw this is the link ->

okay so i found the guy who created this crazy work man @ElijahYilma 🫡

People don’t hate learning difficult things. They hate bad packaging.

I "purchased" the free demo of the book for Linux. It is written in Unity and you need to execute a binary. ./IDSA_build_38_Linux_demo.x86_64 (not obvious) The navigation was not intuitive or initially visible. (Hover over the center right of the screen to get navigation.) Don't click on the "0" page number, that will get you lost for a few. After getting past those (a couple of minutes) it seemed to work okay. My largest issue is that I need the computer to read text to me and I am unable to selected the text for my computer to read :-( Developing a cross platform, interactive application is not trivial. Unity is interesting, but, at least this version, does not play well with text to speech.

it's not 'someone'. tag the author @ElijahYilma man. it's right there on the website.

wow, this is really cool! feels like it’s only a matter of time to get things like this generated with AI. imagine giving a model a topic and getting a fully interactive canvas at this level of quality... maybe we can already, just need a good prompt?

But it's paid

This is the CS equivalent of the girl with an organized binder, notes in 6 colors of ballpoint pen.

@Maurathat The cognitive challenge of visualizing these algorithms in your head is part of the learning process

Whr to get this I need it Plz share link

here u goo

Thanks

That someone is @ElijahYilma :)

bro i had no idea before posting it, and i didn't expect that it will go viral although later i mentioned that guy

hi. turn any document (youtube video, audio file, pdf, ...) into interactive book. Immediately! example: try for free.

banger from your profile in long time.

yess serr

It's not "someone", was created by Elias Yilma (@ElijahYilma). It is credited on the website.

well damn. he beat me to it

@_AmShZ_

Interactive CS textbook is the format we should've had a decade ago

Sick! I’m totally going to check this out!

Super cool!

mega banger

mini banger

Damn I so wanna build this for Rust with the community.

Plz, how is it coded ? Final format ?

Que isso bixo, moveu as montanhas!

@Nil053

this was my dream when learning about CS!

interactive books were so overdue

@kostyafarber_ 😏

@andrewarruda @llmgram

Yes someone wrote it and your mode of operation is to derive views on top of it

can I get a printed version with moving parts? 🤔

It's like writing a book on ancient Egyptian language. Useful if you are passionate about history I guess

This is awesome currently reading the CLRS book and it’s taking me months to take notes and do all exercises. I’ll go through this when I am finished with the book! Thank you

akele akele banger kha gye bhaiya 🙂
