In this article, I share my most-watched YouTube channels for software development and programming. 2021 definitely feels like YouTube is dominating life, YouTube boasts over two billion users who combined watch one billion hours of YouTube videos every day. These is some pretty impressive stats, seeing YouTube was only founded in February 2005. It is hard to imagine a time without YouTube now!
When it comes to learning about how to code, my advice to anyone new or veteran is to pick the thing that works for you. Some people learn through reading, some through watching others, some are more practical and like to start a project and learn how they get on. In terms of programming, there is a lot of great content for software developers. Want to learn Javascript, C#, GO, frontend development, then YouTube has you covered.
Whenever you are just starting out with software development or you simply want to improve your programming skills within a certain area, you will need the right resources. In this article, I will share with you over 30 YoutTube channels that I personally watch. All these channels will help you to level up your skills. Sound good?
