Audio supplements

1 points · submitted Sep 2022 by u/totally_k · Resource · archived

Hey all, I just started learning (prior experience = MySpace html variations). I am loving it! I’m only a few weeks in, focusing on Ruby and just arrived at the (stumbling) blocks.

Now, I have a loooooooong drive I have to make on Sunday and I’m reluctant to lose any time that could be spent getting my head around these wonderful new concepts.

So, I’m reaching out for any suggestions on audio content that can unlock some more understanding for me.

Lectures, books, podcasts etc.

I would recommend finding youtubers who post content for the language your learning. Anytime I'm trying to learn a new concept I'll search for a youtuber who has covered it, and after a while I found some for the languages I've tried to learn who make it easier to learn. I don't know for Ruby, but I'm sure there's plenty out there given its popularity.

To be honest, I haven't had much luck in the way of podcasts on programming subject matter. I looked for a while when I was first learning and couldn't find anything. You could look for lectures from professors that you could listen to on youtube that would work for a drive (as long as you have unlimited data lol).

As for a book I'd recommend checking out the O'Reilly book for the language you're interested in, you can likely find the pdf of the book online I'd check zlib
