Use the Index, Luke is "a site explaining SQL indexing to developers—no crap about administration."
I really love this site because it teaches everything you need to know to grok why certain queries are slow and certain queries are fast, and how to optimize queries and choose appropriate indexes. That's super important and most learning resources don't really touch on it. They just leave you with something vague like "put indexes on columns you reference in WHERE clauses". If that sounds like where you're at, this site is for you!
If I had known about exercism.org two years ago, I would've been a happier person 💯...
yes, many know this resource for sure, but I didn't 😅
I would say GitHub is full of hidden gems 💎
Compiled a list of some of my favs a while ago! 📚
Yes I would strongly agree with that 👌
Checking out "peers-written" code is a great way to pickup new ideas and fine tune your coding style.
Assuming high quality code of course 😉
A massive collection of roadmaps with helpful resources everywhere, roadmap.sh. I would've loved to have known about this when I first started programming.
