Hi, I’m Wendy. I started a computer science degree without much idea of what I was getting into. After graduating, I wanted to write some basic introductions to various topics in the hope that I can answer some questions people may have. I know I found it hard to look up some of the terms I heard mentioned, and I’d like to clarify some of them.

The focus of this blog is things that aren’t necessarily covered in formal courses and you may never be required to know, but may come up in conversation, extracurriculars, or side projects. I also plan to include very brief overviews of what some computer science courses will cover, and various areas within computer science.

A list of the topics I’ve covered can be found here. Feel free to read them in any order you choose; they should not be dependent on one another.
