3. Khan Academy - Great for learning the basics of computer science and programming.
4. Codecademy - Interactive platform for learning coding skills.
5. freeCodeCamp - Free coding lessons and projects to build real-world skills.
6. TechCrunch- Stay updated on tech news and trends.
7. YouTube Channels - Such as Traversy Media or The Net Ninja for practical tutorials.
8. LinkedIn Learning - Professional courses on various tech topics.
9. Reddit - Subreddits like r/learnprogramming and r/technology for community support and advice.

"tech" is really broad to give any real depth. It would really differ depending on the role you want to enter - are you a product marketer, growth marketer, sales rep or product manager ?
@caoimhe_murphy What if I just want to learn for fun and to get all the tech jokes?
@udaya_sri I've worked in tech for more than 8 years and I still don't get the tech jokes. It's a constant state of this: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C...
Great list! I'd also recommend checking out HackerRank for coding challenges.it's a fun way to practice and improve problem-solving skills
@yiraika_bacchi Adding that to the list. Thank you!
Don’t forget about podcasts like Syntax and Software Engineering Daily perfect for learning on the go and staying updated with the latest trends.
Hi there, I agree with your list. For hands-on practice, Leet Code and HackerRank are excellent for coding challenges and improving problem-solving skills. It’s a great way to apply what you’ve learned
For more in- depth knowledge, consider reading books like 'Clean Code' by Robert C. Martin or following blogs like Medium’s tech section. They provide valuable insights and best practices. 📚
I’d suggest listening to tech podcasts like Techmeme Ride Home and The Changelog. They’re perfect for keeping up with industry news and learning about emerging technologies while on the go.
