Academic Resources for Computer Science

September 2017 release. The content and code on this repo is intended for computer science instruction as a collaboration with Microsoft developer advocates and Faculty / Students under MIT license. Please check back regularly for updated versions. Source: https://github.com/MSFTImagine/computerscience.

This repo provides technical resources for faculty, students, and Microsoft developer advocates for use in computer science learning. The modules cover common cross-platform scenarios including mobile app dev, web dev, internet of things, data science, machine learning, and devops. Content delivery is divided into four groups: complimentary course content, tech talks, events materials to support hackathons or coding challenges, and course labs.

Most hands-on learning focuses on how to deploy cross-platform technologies on Microsoft Azure although most of the concepts can be applied across many cloud platform solutions. Academic users can get free Azure from various programs including: Azure Free Account (requires credit card) or Microsoft Imagine (requires student verification but no credit card). , .

Your feedback is appreciated - please fork this repo and contribute!
