Introduction

In software development circles there is a culture of creating so called "awesome lists". Those lists contain links to all kinds of resources for a topic, which can be as broadly defined as "computer science", "software development", "software engineering" or as specific as a single programming language or an area of application of programming languages such as "web development", "machine learning". Probably such lists exist for many other things than programming as well. Their character is mostly informal, which makes them easily extendable. Here is what not to expect from such a list:

• comprehensiveness or completeness
• being finished
• always containing the most up to date links to relevant projects
• containing the links to the best options for all purpose or goal

While those things might be desirable, the list is a community effort. It is up to the author and community to share their knowledge. No one knows everything there is to know and new projects are initiated frequently.

The following list is such an "awesome list" for the programming language GNU Guile. Its purpose is to make it easy for people to find tutorials, resources or any kind of knowledge about GNU Guile.

Anyone, who knows something, that should be added to the list, is welcome to suggest edits or make pull requests.
