Concept Kind

This dimension sorts computing concepts by their basic kind, a theoretical idea, an engineering technique or a mathematical result. Wikipedia notes that computer science "spans theoretical disciplines (such as algorithms, theory of computation, and information theory) to applied disciplines (including the design and implementation of hardware and software)." Browsing by concept kind keeps ideas from the same kind of discipline grouped together.
