Hack Your Future Study Book

A giant collection of awesome knowledge and resources to help you succeed at HYF and beyond. The goal of this repository is to be the one tab you can't help but pin.

This study book is the work of all the different HYF chapters in different countries. We have gathered all of our combined knowledge about the programming topics you as a student will be learning as well as some extra topics you will be encountering after you have finished your curriculum.

• Links in all languages are welcome! Just let everyone know what language it is in with a little comment - (tr), (ru), ...
• Was a certain link super helpful? Send us a patch with a + after the link. The more + the more helpful!
• Was a link not very helpful, or even confusing? Send us a patch with a - after the link. If a link has too many - and not enough +, we'll remove it.
• All good things come to an end. If you find a link that has gone dead, send us a Patch with a X after the link.
• Are we missing an important topic? Send a PR with a new folder or file (and a link to it in the SUMMARY.md, to keep the GitBook up-to-date ;)). Make sure to check out this guide to see the guide to topic structure.

study's Issues

Value in a table in "What is Structured Query Language (SQL)?" looks weird

There is a table in README.md "What is Structured Query Language (SQL)?" which seems fine on GitHub. But on hackyourfuture.github.io it looks weird.

Index is incorrect

The material compiled in this study book is immensely valuable but it is extremely hard to navigate through the book using the navigation index present on the left side of the book. For example:

1. If we click on the first link on the left top titled "Learning", the book opens and the sections start from learning and end on "Good ideas" present in the left side nav index. However, the sections in between namely "Learning From code", "how to ask questions" and others are not present there. Subsection titled "Good ideas" should move above the others if its a part of main section "learning" while others are not. This thing happens in the GIT section as well and other areas too.
2. most of the time when we click on a link from the left index the page that opens starts from the middle of the page and I have to scroll it manually to the top to start reading from the top.
3. In javascript week 1 we were required to read certain topics like "what is programming" what is java " variables" "values", and others. But it is quite confusing. when i click on the first topic what is javascript, the page that subsequently opens in the book is from the end of the javascript topic. all other topics like variables, functions etc are already gone above.
4. in some sections the youtube videos are not in a sequence. For example in the operators topic, the teacher in the first video says earlier we have studied about what are operators and different types of operators. Today we are going to study....

Conclusion: No doubt the resource collection and the effort to make these and combining them is huge, but navigating through them is too confusing for beginners like me who are already intimidated by the complexity of javascript. I tried to fix some of the things but i was unable to do so using github because whenever I click "edit on github" only that specific page opens and there is no option of fixing the index etc

Not working Link

When I check the link above in "https://hackyourfuture.github.io/study/#/javascript/operators", it gives me 404 not found.
