YouTube

This year, most of my learning came from YouTube. I think a YouTube premium account is an essential product. These are the channels that helped make me a better software craftsperson this year:

Best Tutorials

This list represent my favourite tutorials that I followed in2021. Follow these links to build some pretty cool applications:

Newsletter

The only newsletter that I really read is rendezvous with cassidoo. The newsletter contains weekly updates on what is new in the world of Javascript development.

Books

It is said that a reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. I have always been an avid read. This year I've read some great books. Out of the 40 books I have read this year, this list represented the must reads:

I used to think that audiobooks were a waste of time, however, this year I got into Audible this year. I lift weights and run most days. Normally, I listen to some raging metal to get my blood pumping, however, this year I gave Audible a try and its changed my life. This year I managed to listen to some big ass books that I wouldn't have tried to tackle normally. If you haunt signed up for Audible I recommend you give it a try. The best audioible books I listened to this year are:

Podcasts

I am not a massive Podcast listener, however, there are three podcasts that I regularly listen to are:

  • Property Hub - I own a property rental company within the UK. This podcast talks all about buying properties, the process, the strategies. if you want to start a rental business, listen to this.
  • My First Millions - Discets successful companies and provides interesting interviews with their founders
  • Happyness Lab - A science-based podcast aimed at trying to make you happier

Movies

What resource list would be complete without a list of TV series and movies to watch over Xmas ๐ŸŽ…๐ŸŽ…๐ŸŽ…. I like action movies. Screw these lists with lots of artistic and clever movies. Give me the action ๐Ÿ’ฅ

Documentaries

These two great documentaries that I think everyone would enjoy:

  • 14 Peaks Nothing Is Impossible - Watch Nimsdai Purja climb all 14 of the world's 8,000-meter peaks in seven months.
  • The Rescue - See how the children who got trapped in the cave in Thailand got rescued

TV Series

Being trapped inside due to the pandemic has meant a lot of TV watching in 2021. These are the series that kept me sane this year:

Tech & Apps

To round up this list, here is a bunch of tech and purchases that have made me happy this year:


I hope you have a great seasonal time. See you the same time next year. Happy Coding ๐Ÿค˜
