A bottom-up (topologically sorted) computer science curriculum (a depth-first traversal of a Thing graph) ontology would be a great teaching resource.

One could start with e.g. "Outline of Computer Science", add concept dependency edges, and then topologically (and alphabetically or chronologically) sort.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_computer_science

There are many potential starting points and traversals toward specialization for such a curriculum graph of schema:Things/skos:Concepts with URIs.

How to handle classical computation as a "collapsed" subset of quantum computation? Maybe Constructor Theory?

From "Resources to get better at theoretical CS?" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15281776 :

- "Open Source Society University: Path to a self-taught education in Computer Science!" https://github.com/ossu/computer-science

This is also great:

- "Coding Interview University" https://github.com/jwasham/coding-interview-university

Neither these nor the ACM Curriculum are specifically topologically sorted.
