Motivation and context

Well, want to get some advice on studying material around engineering subjects?

You could of course look into a million forums and social media group, but I think, if you really want to get the information from real geeks, just type “Github awesome” in the browser! There are a ton of lists of awesome material regarding lots of subjects, and this is my personal version of such a list, dive in!

The list itself

Once a Scout, always a Scout!

I’m a proud member of the World Wide Scout Movement.

Try and leave this world a little better than you found it, and when your turn comes to die, you can die happy in feeling that at any rate, you have not wasted your time but have done your best.
