Preface and vision:

Essentially, the cirrcular computational model is a community-driven intuition from the Guidelines for Computer Science Education published by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) on the ACM Digital Library (ACM-DL) as a result of a joint work force among ACM, IEEE-CS community, and the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI). The intuition behind these huge organizations task force is to provide a knowledge model (KM) that displays a strong intermix among multiple disciplines by introducing knowledge areas (KA) that represents components composed of knowledge units (KU) and learning outcomes.

Consequently, the vision of this repository is to summarize the essential sections from the CS-2023 and the CE-2023 files, and introduce some useful resources to tackle down the essential topics from the presented Knowledge Areas.

Outline of the model:

1. Knowledge Areas (Units and Learning Outcomes).
2. Applied Computation (Corresponding Competency Model).
3. Specializing Areas of knowledge.
