Textbooks by the Faculty of the C.S. Department of Kansas State University

This is a good resource.<p>Is there an equivalent to Feynman&#x27;s lectures on physics but for computer science?<p>Which books about computer science will remain relevant in one hundred years, when most engineers will probably be using programming languages and frameworks whose creators are not even born yet? I don&#x27;t work in software, but I like to collect foundational texts in various disciplines. I have some programming experience under my belt, and I&#x27;ve taken a few introductory classes about data structures and algorithms, but my personal library lacks CS texts.

I can understand calling these &quot;texts&quot;, but &quot;books&quot;? These remind me more of the sectioned documentation pages that one often comes across on the &quot;document web&quot;; e.g. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;tldp.org&#x2F;HOWTO&#x2F;Plug-and-Play-HOWTO.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;tldp.org&#x2F;HOWTO&#x2F;Plug-and-Play-HOWTO.html</a><p>To me, &quot;book&quot; implies constant-sized pages and content formatted such that it could be used to produce an actual hardcopy book (e.g. a PDF).

What a great thing. I&#x27;ve been working on an interactive textbook for React and TypeScript, mostly just to better support one of my courses. I feel like faculty should be encouraged and supported to produce free, open materials like this.

The three books I clicked through several chapters of were unpleasantly focused on the features of the C# standard library and details of network administration in Digital Ocean (?!?).<p>Tim Roughgarten of Stanford has split his big algorithms book into four $20 paperbacks, so you can pick and choose an area you&#x27;d like to reinforce your knowledge of for not too much money.

Is there a resource that delves heavy into the application of the OSI model? Specifically, on how tcp actually works under the hood. Or how applications impliment their netcode ontop of udp? Typically we&#x27;d just say recv() and get data, but that doesn&#x27;t detail the underlying process of how packets are handled.

Go cats!
