Resources

Annotated directories of the tools and references worth knowing, with a note on what each is for.

These are not link dumps. Every entry says what a tool does and when to reach for it, so you can assemble a toolchain and a reading list with judgement rather than copy one blindly. The directories favour dependable, current choices over exhaustive lists. Where this site explains a concept a tool relates to, the entry links across.
