ACM's "Navigating CS Lingo Terms and Acronyms" list #202

Open rolsanmordua opened 4 years ago

Proposed by Dr. Alison Norman, a common terms and acronyms list for underclassmen with everything from "ACM" to distinctions between "front-end" and "back-end". A place fo students to familiarize themselves with terminology that isn't hard but can be intimidating and have a high entry barrier.

Mentioned at orientation, pods, kickoff, etc.

My suggestion: crowd source it and make it dynamic-resources based so it can continue growing as new acronyms and terms pop-up. Have a basic system to check terms before they're added to avoid abuse.

Managed by Academics and maintained by Web. Crowdsourced by members and UTCS community. Linked under Resources? Shared with other UTCS orgs and orientation organizers.

How would that be different from the A to Z's that we currently have?
