Resources

From ITPedia

This page should be a list of things you might find useful to know while at ITP or doing ITP-related projects. Things on here could be anything from "Where to eat around NYU" to "How to solder properly" to "Here's a list of Fly-Bys that people have made in the past".

When adding things to this page, please try to list WHY they are useful resources to have. Without that, it's hard to figure out what it is or why it's here.
