We live in an unprecedented era in which we can learn pretty much anything we want for free (or paying very little depending on how much patience you have with ads).

YouTube is undoubtedly one of the best sources of free content. The only challenge is really to find good channels where you learn stuff and have a good time while doing it.

This is the first issue of a series of posts in which I’m going to recommend three channels with excellent videos.

TechWorld with Nana

This is my favorite channel for DevOps-related topics. Nana’s didactics and real-world examples help a lot to get to know new topics or deep dive into a specific subject. This 4-hour long k8s full course is just one of many others. Check it out.

Matt Pocock

Advanced TypeScript wizardry, plus on-the-day updates from the latest TypeScript releases (and other open-source loveliness). Check it out

Fireship

The Gateway Drug for developers. This is how the channel describes itself. 😅

The super funny weekly code report and the 100 seconds pills of knowledge about many different things are very informative and entertaining. Check it out.

What about you? What other YouTube channels do you watch to get up to speed?
