Introduction

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, visit his website here.
