There are a bunch of technical documentation all around so use it and cite them. The difference is that is meant to be written to understand how is this seen in a practical level. I am sure I am missing a lot, feel free of suggest the topics here. Also if you think it is needed a better wording. The idea if this list is to have an starting point.

Remember that it is not necessary to write all this from scratch, the objective is to bring all these concepts to a practical level including images, memes and/or code whenever is possible.
