Ask HN: What term/concept should I learn next? (creating software, need help)

1 pointsby warriorkittyover 8 years ago
Every day I have about 2 hours of free time to learn something new. Problem is, when I start searching for something new, I immediately lose myself in a big number of topics I&#x27;m interested in.<p>After 2 hours, I read about 10 topics and after 2 days I can&#x27;t remember most of it.<p>I would like to create my own software with a list of groups and a list of concepts&#x2F;topics in those groups where I would randomly get a topic&#x2F;concept and a list of links to read.<p>For example:<p>Algorithms<p>- sequence search<p>- graph search<p>Compiler theory<p>- top-down parsing<p>- distributed processing<p>So, once a day I would open my software, choose a list of groups and get a random topic.<p>I need HN to start with a list of groups and topics that are interesting so I can publish this application and maybe we can all learn new things.<p>Also, there could be a topic linked to the randomly chosen topic which will say &quot;If you don&#x27;t understand merge sort, try with bubble sort.&quot; with a link to bubble sort.<p>What do you think?

Sounds like an app version of <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;xlinux.nist.gov&#x2F;dads&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;xlinux.nist.gov&#x2F;dads&#x2F;</a><p>There&#x27;s not much regarding explanations there, but as a list of connected concepts (most pages have &quot;see also&quot;), it&#x27;s really good.<p>The idea is interesting. I would be tempted to try it if the price wasn&#x27;t high.
