Things people build with this

USE CASE 1

Browse a categorized list of computer science e-books in Chinese to find a title on algorithms, networking, or a programming language.

USE CASE 2

Find a Chinese translation of a well-known international CS textbook such as an algorithms or operating systems book.

USE CASE 3

Download interview preparation materials from a single organized page instead of searching for each book individually.

USE CASE 4

Access beginner to advanced books on Python, C, C++, Java, Go, or databases from one reference page.

Links point to Baidu Pan which requires a Baidu account, may be inaccessible or slow outside China.

No license is specified, the repository is a reference list only.

In plain English

CSBook is a Chinese-language collection of download links for hundreds of computer science e-books, organized by topic. The repository itself contains no code, it is a curated list of links pointing to files stored on Baidu Pan, a Chinese cloud storage service. Each entry includes the book title, a direct download link, and an access code needed to retrieve the file from that service. The books are grouped into broad categories covering algorithms and data structures, computer fundamentals (operating systems, assembly language, computer networks), Python, Linux, C, C++, artificial intelligence, design patterns, Java, databases, Go, and interview preparation. Within each category there are multiple titles, ranging from beginner introductions to more advanced texts. Many of the algorithm entries include both Chinese translations of well-known international textbooks and books written originally in Chinese. The description and all content in the repository is in Chinese, and the download service used (Baidu Pan) is primarily accessible to users in China. Someone outside China may find the links difficult or impossible to use without a Baidu account and a method to access the service. The project addresses a practical problem for Chinese developers and students: technical books are expensive to buy individually, and having a single organized page makes it easier to find a specific title. The maintainer notes in the README that physical books are not practical for someone who reads while working, so e-books fill the gap. The repository has no license or contributing guidelines listed. It functions purely as a reference page rather than a software project, and there is nothing to install or run.

Copy-paste prompts

Prompt 1

I want to download the algorithm books from the csbook list. Give me a Python script that reads the README, extracts all Baidu Pan links with their book titles, and saves them to a text file.

Prompt 2

I am a Chinese developer preparing for technical interviews. Based on the csbook categories, suggest a 4-week reading plan covering algorithms, data structures, and system design.

Prompt 3

Write a script to check which Baidu Pan links in the csbook README are still active by making HEAD requests and logging any that return an error.

Prompt 4

Translate the csbook README category headers into English and list the topics covered under each category.
