What is this? Well, it’s a guide to a bunch of concepts that you might see in networking. It’s not Network Programming in C—see Beej’s Guide to Network Programming1 for that. But it is here to help make sense of the terminology, and also to do a bit of network programming in Python.
Is it Beej’s Guide to Network Programming in Python? Well, kinda, actually. The C book is more about how C’s (well, Unix’s) network API works. And this book is more about the concepts underlying it, using Python as a vehicle.

Back Issues of Legowelt’s ‘Shadow Wolf Cyberzine’ Internet’s No.1 lifestyle opinion glossy for the modern Cyberpunk Electronic Music afficinado. Originally an e-zine in classic ASCII BBS txt haxor style, from Issue 11 onwards it comes out on paper. Released yearly around Christmas with some special issues at other times.
In 2023 I decided to release the Shadow Wolf Cyberzine in paper zine format, so from Issue 11 on it will be on paper, I will scan it soon and put it here, it will be available on the Legowelt bandcamp very soon or ask for it at shows and sometimes recordstores have some copies etc.
An open source typeface for hardware people! It renders text like serial data viewed on an oscilloscope, i.e., as a series of visual pulses. The site has a realtime playground so you can see what it looks like. Note that only ascii values are generated currently! There are 1-bit utility characters that can be used to generate arbitrary waveforms, so read the docs on Github.
Free fonts have met their match. We know how hard it is to find quality freeware that is licensed for commercial work. We've done the hard work, hand-selecting these typefaces and presenting them in an easy-to-use format.

This is a curated list of free courses from reputable universities like MIT, Stanford, and Princeton that satisfy the same requirements as an undergraduate Computer Science degree, minus general education.
Slither Into Python and Slither Into Data Structures and Algorithms were started as lockdown projects. I published Slither into Python as a free to read online book with the option of a $5 ebook version and Slither into Data Structures and Algorithms as a $10 ebook. Both books received a lot of attention but the hosting company I was using went under in late 2021 and as a result the site went down and I never bothered getting it back online again. However, I still receive emails to this day requesting copies. I give those ebook copies away for free and decided that since it was still being requested, I'd put the ebooks back online completely free of charge. At the time of writing this, Python is on version 3.11. Both books are on 3.7. For a beginner there aren't many changes that should concern you between those versions and both of these books will still serve as great starting points!

This book takes a single line of code—the extremely concise BASIC program for the Commodore 64 inscribed in the title—and uses it as a lens through which to consider the phenomenon of creative computing and the way computer programs exist in culture. The authors of this collaboratively written book treat code not as merely functional but as a text—in the case of 10 PRINT, a text that appeared in many different printed sources—that yields a story about its making, its purpose, its assumptions, and more. They consider randomness and regularity in computing and art, the maze in culture, the popular BASIC programming language, and the highly influential Commodore 64 computer.
