## Usage

* A directory is maintained for each course within which is a README that provides information regarding the course. The README may have the following sections if applicable :
  * **Prerequisites** - Courses that need to be completed prior to attempting the particular course
  * **Textbooks** - List of textbooks with links to their soft copies
  * **Code** - Implementation of course concepts
  * **Videos** - List of links of video explanations of course concepts
  * **Websites** - Useful websites
  * **Articles** - Cheat-sheets, tutorials, blog-posts etc.
  * **Communities** - Online forums related to the course concepts
  * **Apps** - Mobile apps that may enrich the learning experience
* There are also [scripts](https://github.com/acmbpdc/openlib.cs/tree/df322e1c7dd85cc35429e622fb70de585f7faa1d/scripts/README.md) that provide certain useful features (WIP)

## Guidelines

* This repository provides links to the required study material such as **textbooks**, **solution manuals** and **reference books**.
* Copies of the study material can be borrowed from the library while appearing for **open-book exams**. Moreover, printouts of the same can also be taken into the exam hall if required. Written notes are also allowed.
