I’m at the point where I am not 100% where to go for more resources asides W3C and continuing to grind through my JavaScript book. I have occasionally searched for YouTube videos on more advanced topics. LearnWebCode definitely caught my eye with his explanation of OOP in JavaScript, it really rekindled what I learned from PHP and got my noodle buzzing. I’m really starting to enjoy coding in my free time as part of my daily exercises. Just so that I don’t lose focus, my number one priority is to get through the JS book front to back before taking a step into a side project. I think my side project will be a custom WordPress theme that I can maintain on github.

Above is another hour long video from Derek Banas that I really enjoyed (the first 20 minutes) at the gym. I decided to put it on my Watch Later list specifically because I’d like to sit down and code along with him. He does get a little nitty gritty and is fast paced, so coding along with him will probably help connect the dots. Having the ability to pause and think is also a plus side too.

Another video I really enjoyed was actually a talk from Anjana Vakil which was held at JSUnconf 2016 about “Learning Functional Programming with JS” - this one really hit the feels and made me miss attending WordCamps. I really need to get back into attending local conferences and even setting aside money to attend conferences down in San Fran.

I also spotted a goldmine of a resource I found on Ycombinator - Teach Yourself Computer Science - literally an outline of all books and online lectures you can sponge out on. I’m actually considering spending the time and obtaining these books. Also check out the comments thread for more insightful commentary on this site.

I will occasionally post more interesting resources I find and tag them accordingly.
