My favourite learning resources

A handpicked list of resources I found useful. They are in no particular order.

Courses

Wes Bos' courses
In general high quality video courses on various topics (many of them focusing on JS).
LevelUp Tutorials
Scott Tolinski's project, he has a great delivery in his video courses. His business model is slightly different from Wes'. You pay a monthly fee and get access to all his courses. Scott is prolific author whilst maintaining a good quality.
Frontend Masters
Delivers what it says on the box – videos. I especially appretiated the courses made by Kyle Simpson.
Sitepoint Premium
A multitude of various video courses and books. I bought a lifetime membership when it still was called Learnable and it was one of the best investments into my self-education I made.
Codecademy
One of the first interactive course platforms I stumbled upon around 2012(?). They're still great, even better.
Learn Git Branching
An interactive course that will let you try all the git commands without the fear for breaking anything. It has a nice visual representation. I learned to navigate the commit tree thanks to this course.
Webpack Learning Academy
After these free video courses, Webpack started to make some sense.
Free Code Camp
Interactive course platform and community. I really like this for its noble values – providing programming courses – and the quality is also pretty good.
Crypto Zombies
This is kind of funny, but I guess a good intro into blockchain programming.

Clean Code, Robert C. Martin Series
This book showed me how to write code which is easier to understand. Since we started applying the principles outlined in this book on our team, the understanding of code in between developers became a breeze. Uses Java syntax for examples.
You Don't Know JS, Kyle Simpson
I came across this series when I already had pretty solid knowledge of Javascript. Or at least so I thought! These books go into the inner workings of the JS engine and explain how it actually works. The first version was so good that I happilly supported Kyle in his effort to write and publish the second edition.
CSS: The Definitive Guide, Eric A. Meyer
This book was hard to read as it's essentially a reference guide with explanations. BUT it was this book that gave me the understanding of how the CSS box model works.
The Coding Career Handbook, Shawn @swyx Wang
Another great book. Swyx collected his tips based in a wide spectrum of knowledge from the IT industry.
Pure React, David Cedia
David taught me to think React. This deffo helped me to understand how React works. I recommended this book to all my collegues and it really shows who read it and who did not.
ECMAScript 2015: A SitePoint Anthology
A collection of articles about Javascript ES6.
Jump Start Git, Shaumik Daityari
A consise description of what Git is and how to use it.
Professional Git
Quoting the classic: "We gotta go deeper!" This is an indepth look into using Git.

Git for a four year old
The inner workings of git. This is a must-watch!

AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) – Explained With an Analogy Concise and clear explanation of the basic building blocks for AWS authentication and authorisation service - IAM. I love the analogy and the way it puts this often very abstract problem into an easy to understand explanation.
