If you want to learn more about a particular topic, chances are there's a video for that. In this section, I'll list out some of my favorite channels along with some of my favorite videos.
Channels
Ever wonder what a reverse proxy is? How about Docker? Or Kubernetes? Nana has your back. She has a ton of videos focusing on Cloud and DevOps with new videos coming regularly. She's great!
Ever hear of Dave Farley, Kent Beck, Sam Newman, etc? Well, now you have and you'll be glad you did. To quote the website:
"Modern Software Engineering is where good developers come to become great."
I particularly like Dave, but all the presenters are exceptional. They cover a wide range of software development topics.
Derek Comartin publishes CodeOpinion. He covers lots of architectural patterns such as Hexagonal, Clean, Onion, Vertical Slices, and Event-Driven. If you want to learn more about those architectures, CodeOpinion is a good place to start.
Individual Videos
Test-Driven Development (TDD)
Perhaps the best TDD video I have ever seen is TDD, Where Did It All Go Wrong by Ian Cooper. I highly recommend watching it.
Agile
Gabrielle Benefield has a great presentation called Frankenbuilds: If Agile is so Good, Why Are Our Products so Bad? From the title, it might sound like a knock on Agile, but it isn't. She talks about measuring value. Sometimes we get so focused on building new features that we lose touch with what our customers really need.
