guide to cs 61a [work in progress]
this is an in-progress unofficial handbook that i hope will help you understand the concepts you may have trouble in while taking 61a. note that this may not be up to date with course material as time goes on, but if you shoot me an email i'd be more than happy to bring it up to speed!
