An opinionated and curated list of Computer Science concepts in the spirit of Josh Kaufman's The Personal MBA (https://personalmba.com/)
My name is Peter Zaffina and I'm passionate about using technology to improve people's lives. I'm a self taught technologist with a focus on designing systems to help small local government businesses solve their workflow problems.
I'm living proof of the character Will Hunting's quote:
You wasted $150,000 on an education you coulda got for $1.50 in late fees at the public library.
― Matt Damon, Good Will Hunting
I've compiled a list of references to help guide others with their self development journey.
