As a reminder, Greg's Great Guides are intended for beginners and novice-level programmers only. Any type of structured engineering education would likely cover all of these topics in year one (or year zero!).
However, if you have a genuine interest in technology, and would like to spend your free time learning new stuff and building new things, then these guides are for you!
What are you waiting for? Get Going with Greg's Great Guides!
