## Overview

This is a curated computer-science learning-resource repository, not an application. Its primary workflow is for a reader to browse the README’s subject-organized book catalog, locate a title, and follow its resource link. The README also points readers to supplementary notes and a separate Top 50 list. The topic nodes summarize documented sections rather than separate implementations; no source excerpts were provided, so relationships are based only on README text.

Main entry points: [`README.md`](https://github.com/forthespada/cs-books/blob/master/README.md) (Book catalog), [`Doc/other.md`](https://github.com/forthespada/cs-books/blob/master/Doc/other.md) (Engineer notes), [`Doc/当当Top50.md`](https://github.com/forthespada/cs-books/blob/master/Doc/%E5%BD%93%E5%BD%93Top50.md) (Top 50 list)
