## Introduction <a name="introduction"></a>
The Freeside Student Resources list consists of multiple categories of professional and academic resources which are aimed at aiding University of Hull Computer Science students to gain further knowledge; however, most resources will be able to help learners from outside the university.

List originally comprised by [@closebracket](https://github.com/closebracket), visit his website [here](https://love.edwardcharl.es).
