Hello, am wondering for those who are studying computer science or finished (Doesn't matter what country) could share their first year material/class notes and books to read on the subject. I would like to try gaining knowledge before possibly starting the degree next year and would be best to have starter knowledge from educational environment notes/study pathway and books that others have. Just asking rather than being all over the place on internet books and crap.

Cheers

Bruh it's easy. Just go in there, and you'll be the best in your class if you have a little knowledge.

My university offers almost all their educational resources online for free. You can find the required courses at http://www.calendar.ubc.ca/Vancouver/index.cfm?tree=12,215,410,421 The computer science stuff will be listed as CPSC. To find the related course material you would google search "UBC CPSCS  (course number here)" for example UBC CPSC 210 which is Software construction in Java will turn up results for course registration but if you scroll down abit you can find the online recorded lectures https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuBUhZjInWsEUm-sON5HNMQ for other classes like CPSC 110 you get an edX course online which you can look through for free https://edge.edx.org/courses/course-v1:UBC+CPSC110+2017S/info .

This is heavily theory oriented and less "heres how to code" but I believe most universities teaching computer science rather than computer programming are doing this.

Thanks dude this is great gonna try collect each resource now and put it into a folder (: 

Gonna try the same for Software Programming if they have this too (will check soon) 

P.S In New-Zealand it's all theory as well and little to none programming,  just going to try to do theory degree in CS while self teaching computer programming but just depends on what i learn beforehand like or hate, might just switch to computer programming and do online CS from educational materials online.
