CPBox

A database containing all the resources needed to succeed in competitive programming competitions. Resources include API Documentation / Language tools, articles, books, blogs, calendars, courses, communities, notebooks, tutorials, videos, and websites. ​

Audience

This app will serve as a repository for anyone wanting to learn or review programming concepts, especially those regarding algorithms and data structures. They will be able to find the resources for their programming needs. ​

Experience

After the user enters their criteria, the app will display resources which fit some or all of the user's criteria (ordered from most similar to least).
