Canvas LMS is a full-featured learning management system designed for K–12, higher-ed, and professional training, with a strong emphasis on usability and openness. Instructors build courses from modular content—pages, assignments, discussions, quizzes—and organize them into learning paths with prerequisites and due dates. Rich grading tools like SpeedGrader streamline assessment with rubrics, inline annotations, and audio/video feedback, while the gradebook supports weighting, outcomes, and late/missing policies. A robust API, standards like LTI/IMS Common Cartridge, and SIS integrations make it straightforward to connect Canvas with publisher content, analytics tools, proctoring, and institutional systems. Role-based permissions, accommodations, and accessibility features support diverse learners at scale, and mobile apps keep students engaged on the go.

Welcome to the second edition of the Pro Git book. The entire Pro Git book, written by Scott Chacon and Ben Straub and published by Apress, is available here. All content is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 3.0 license. Print versions of the book are available on Amazon.com. What is “version control”, and why should you care? Version control is a system that records changes to a file or set of files over time so that you can recall specific versions later. For the examples in this book, you will use software source code as the files being version controlled, though in reality you can do this with nearly any type of file on a computer. If you are a graphic or web designer and want to keep every version of an image or layout (which you would most certainly want to), a Version Control System (VCS) is a very wise thing to use.

VYM (View Your Mind) is a tool to generate and manipulate maps which show your thoughts. Such maps can help you to improve your creativity and effectivity. You can use them for time management, to organize tasks, to get an overview over complex contexts

The Art of Programming (Second Edition) is a curated collection of programming problems and solutions originally derived from the Microsoft 100 Interview Questions blog series, later refined into a long-running tutorial and ultimately a published book. Created by July, the series began in 2010 and has since evolved into an in-depth exploration of algorithmic thinking, data structures, and coding interview preparation. The repository brings together 42 classic programming problems from the original series, enhanced with detailed explanations, formula derivations, and optimized solutions. In July 2023, work on the second edition was announced, which expands the project with updated content, new problems inspired by recent big-tech interviews, and introductions to modern machine learning techniques such as XGBoost, CNNs, RNNs, and LSTMs. This collection serves both as a historical record of algorithm problem-solving and as a living resource for programmers preparing for interviews.

sicp-pdf is a LaTeX-based PDF version of Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs (SICP), the classic textbook by Harold Abelson, Gerald Jay Sussman, and Julie Sussman. It builds upon the earlier Unofficial Texinfo Format (UTF), which itself was derived from the MIT Press HTML version, but enhances the project by fully converting the source into LaTeX. This conversion allows for high-quality typesetting, improved design options, and the integration of OpenType and Unicode features through XeTeX. The repository contains both Texinfo and LaTeX sources, with automated scripts to keep them in sync during builds. Users can recompile the book locally with a recent TeX Live distribution and the necessary fonts, while Inkscape is required for SVG-to-PDF image conversions. The project is continuously refined to address formatting issues and ensure the text and figures render correctly across platforms.

Magic of CSS is an open source educational project by Adam Schwartz that explores advanced CSS concepts through practical lessons. It is structured as a series of chapters that cover topics like the box model, layouts, positioning, typography, and animations. The repository is designed to go beyond basic CSS tutorials, teaching how to harness the language for complex, responsive, and visually appealing designs. Each lesson is supported by examples and code that demonstrate real-world use cases. The project emphasizes both the technical and creative potential of CSS, showing how small details can greatly improve user experience. It has become a valuable reference for developers aiming to deepen their front-end skills.

Canorus is a free cross-platform music score editor. It supports an unlimited number and length of staffs, polyphony, a MIDI playback of notes, chord markings, lyrics, import/export filters to formats like MIDI, MusicXML, ABC Music, MusiXTeX and LilyPond

Main goals: * Prepare operating system based on Linux kernel and free software for use at home from scratch by building sources. Binary packages/images are also available. * Each package is installed in separate directory, so you can use different versions of applications and libraries by design. * There is only one user 'kanapi' with root permissions, so you don't have to login, remember passwords, etc. * Simple configuration * Automatic compilation.

VirtualX is an open source online examination system and can be used across organization types such as Colleges/Universities, Schools etc. This tool allows Administrators, Examiners, and Question Setters to add/edit/delete questions and schedule tests, quizzes, exams and generate reports. Some of the key features of this tool are Role based security among different question setters, schedule exams for examinees and send email with login details, managing questions of 11 different types (Multiple choice, Multiple selection, fill ups, true/false, yes/no, Likert, matrix, drag/drop, image based, hierarchical and multiple choice), categorizing questions for easy accessibility, assign marks to every individual question, randomizing the presentation of question, secure delivery of questions during exams, easy mark based evaluation process, display result, reports and graphical analysis on demand etc. This multilingual tool has other features like blog/discussion as well as document sharing.

The Kid-Safe system is designed to be installed on PCLinuxOS. The project's primary goal is the Kid-Safe LiveCD, which is built using this package. The system includes KDE Kiosk Restrictions, Internet Filtering, Games and More. Designed for all ages.

Nahual está pensado para que todos puedan programar. Creemos que cualquiera puede programar y que es necesario llegar a los lugares donde la Universidad no llega. Por eso generamos cursos y documentación que permiten aprender acerca de los distintos oficios del desarrollo de software: Programador HTML, Tester, etc. IMPORTANTE: el código fuente del proyecto fue migrado a https://github.com/nahual. Las nuevas versiones serán actualizadas para su descarga en Sourceforge al encontrarse estables.

analyze is a collection of in-depth source code analyses of popular open source projects, primarily focused on programming languages, compilers, operating systems, and distributed systems. Maintained as a knowledge repository, it contains detailed write-ups that explain the internal mechanisms of complex software systems. The project is designed for developers and researchers who want to deepen their understanding of how widely used technologies are built and maintained. Each analysis breaks down design choices, implementation details, and architectural patterns, making difficult topics more approachable. The repository emphasizes clarity and structured explanations, serving both as a study resource and a reference for engineers exploring system internals. By gathering analyses of diverse projects in one place, analyze helps learners and practitioners bridge the gap between theory and large-scale production code.

This is a modified version of the CRC algorithms by Lammert Bies. It supports more algorithms and has been ported to several languages. It's also useful for learning how to do hexadecimal calculations and bitwise operations in various programming languages. Disclaimer: These test programs demonstrate the calculation of CRC. I made these translation with a basic knowledge of each language. They may or may not be appropriately formatted / secured / robustified / idiot proofed or any similar programming issues.
