Starter Pack

We can start to curate our own starter pack of resources and tips for SUTD students. Might want to think about how we can fold this into another repo as well to keep things lean.

I think we can define the key purpose of this to be a one-stop "shop" for both incoming and SUTD students to discover what resources they have at their disposal.

PS Maybe this can actually be a wiki under another repo?

I've started with some draft content. Please keep more content coming! Over time, we should expand each item to give a short brief of what it is, and a link to get it.

Also, how to deal with "packs" like GitHub student pack, or Jetbrains Suite etc.

I think one thing we want to pay attention is that: as there are so many knowledge in CS, if we squeeze everything in one readme. People would be overwhelmed by the content, they need to learn and hard to locate.

I suggest we can only have links to other modules. for example, we can have a link in the readme says "Unix/Linux" and this link will be linked to a repository or a submodule in our starter pack that have more learning resources and tutorials.
Content management is really an important issue:

1. As there are so many content that need to be contribute, shall we allow everyone to contribute in with regulations, or we only have certain people to contribute.

2. When posting courses, do we want only the course/resource link, or we want to add some student's personal feelings about the course and how to use them?

I have try to draft my programming starter pack as well as machine learning starter pack.

I think a wiki is also important for everyone to edit. Also we can make use of the SUTD reddit account and have more interaction with students about what content to put in.

@tlkh more suggestions and advice on how to change the architecture is welcomed.

We can also send this to our friends and let them see if they want to add anything;)

Ok, sorry for the delay. Yes I agree that we should have a links system to other modules. That is what I envision for this page!

With regards to content management, not everyone will have push access to every repo (only the admins and repo owners have push access) The rest of the people can fork and send pull request as per normal.
