What?

First-timers guide is a guide to encourage more people to venture into open-source. The word guide can be a little misunderstood here; it means articles written in MarkDown format about various topics in Computer Science ranging from time complexity to Word2Vec. Anyone, literally anyone can contribute to the repository

How?

It's quite simple. Just write an article in MarkDown format about a topic you know; the article should be between 100-150 words and easy to read for a newbie. And then pull a request to start. 🎉
