This is a curated list of free computer science books available on the internet, written in Chinese. The collection is organized into eight categories: web development, system administration, programming languages, databases, software engineering, artificial intelligence, mathematics and theory, and miscellaneous topics. Resources without a language label are in English. The web development section covers JavaScript, including tutorials on modern JavaScript, TypeScript, and topics like GraphQL and OAuth. The system administration section includes guides on Linux, the command line, networking, and containers. The programming languages section has resources for languages including C, C++, Go, Python, and Rust. The Python section alone lists more than twenty free books covering everything from beginner tutorials to data science and machine learning applications. This repository is essentially a bookmark list, a starting point for anyone who wants to learn computer science or software development without paying for textbooks. It does not contain the books themselves, only links to where they can be found online. It is aimed at Chinese-speaking developers and students, though a significant portion of the linked resources are in English. The full README is longer than what was provided.
