This is uploaded to this knowledge base server so it should be always accessible.

I've been working on this since December of 2024. After several revisions, the 2025 version was out in April 6 (which is the link above). I might still update this when I have time.

If you can't be bother to read here's a short description I just came out from my mind:

If this Gitbook is still alive when I graduate (which is May of 2026) I will put my final version in another page. A Chinese version is also about to come out in the summer of 2025 for those Chinese proficient readers (and my first language is Chinese so the language quality will be much better). Stay tuned.
