Any idea why this page was moved to Wikipedia:Computer science basic topics ? Jay 06:55, 16 Oct 2003 (UTC)
I have no idea why this page is called Computer science basic topics. It seems more like programming language basic topics. -- Powo 10:18, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
So I started a section for the hardware topics that are missing. Perhaps separate section needed for the people of software engineering and related concepts? User:AlMac| (talk) 11:18, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
So, if

Perhaps there is a need for list in Portal format, of major collections of computer articles, formatted similar to Portal:Browse. User:AlMac| (talk) 05:00, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
See Portal:Computer Science. -- bmills 16:10, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
Having seen this article listed as needing attention, I have undertaken a rewrite. Hopefully this rewrite addresses some of the concerns which were earlier raised on this page. I have tried to follow the style of the List of basic mathematical topics, which is a mix of broad topic areas and fundamental concepts. I'm sure I've left some key things out (or put some things in that shouldn't really be there). But this new list can hopefully serve as a starting point from which to converge on something everyone is happy with. -- Allan McInnes ( talk) 07:21, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

This doesn't seem to follow the template of some of the other outline articles. It probably needs a revamp. Comments? Mahanga Talk 05:45, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
I think the subsection on foundations should be split off into its own section before the "branches" section. Things like number theory are used in computer science but are not branches of computer science in any reasonable way. — Carl ( CBM · talk) 11:07, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
Guidelines for the development of outlines are being drafted at Wikipedia:Outlines.
Your input and feedback is welcomed and encouraged.

Please add some relevant links to the history section.
Links can be found in the "History of" article for this subject, in the "History of" category for this subject, or in the corresponding navigation templates. Or you could search for topics on Google - most topics turn blue when added to Wikipedia as internal links.

"collaborative networks" is not a well accepted major subfield of computer science-- maybe in IT in general-- so I have removed it. The links were dead in any case. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.45.201.75 ( talk) 06:22, 12 March 2012 (UTC)
" Outline" is short for "hierarchical outline". There are two types of outlines: sentence outlines (like those you made in school to plan a paper), and topic outlines (like the topical synopses that professors hand out at the beginning of a college course). Outlines on Wikipedia are primarily topic outlines that serve 2 main purposes: they provide taxonomical classification of subjects showing what topics belong to a subject and how they are related to each other (via their placement in the tree structure), and as subject-based tables of contents linked to topics in the encyclopedia. The hierarchy is maintained through the use of heading levels and indented bullets. See Wikipedia:Outlines for a more in-depth explanation. The Transhumanist 00:04, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
