Ask HN: What is your favorite YouTube channel for developers?

1081 points by justanton 10y ago

What are the good channels for developers on YouTube to learn about e.g., programming techniques or best-practices?

davzie 10y ago
Shameful self plug: http://youtube.com/c/theskaterdev http://youtube.com/c/theskaterdev Mainly about PHP, Laravel and some soft topics.

I sub to these three: computerphile: https://www.youtube.com/user/computerphile https://www.youtube.com/user/computerphile leveluptuts: https://www.youtube.com/user/leveluptuts https://www.youtube.com/user/leveluptuts google chrome developers: https://www.youtube.com/user/ChromeDevelopers https://www.youtube.com/user/ChromeDevelopers

  computerphile isn't really for developers. It's for non-developers to get a glimpse into the world of developers. Everything they explain there is extremely elementary. However, I quite enjoy Bradey's other channels (numberphile, and sixty symbols) as I am not a professional in physics or math.

    >computerphile isn't really for developers. It's for non-developers to get a glimpse into the world of developers. Everything they explain there is extremely elementary. This is true for the most part but there are some videos which are interesting still, like the interviews with Brian Kernighan. Below are said videos in the order they were published. I don't remember but I think parts of one video might be duplicate from one of the other videos. These videos are for historical perspective, not for learning, so depending on what you are looking for these might or might not be for you. I think most users of Linux, FreeBSD and other Unix family operating systems will enjoy watching them.

  Just thought I'd also mention that he likes to do "case studies" where he reverse engineers effects from different games in Unity using mostly Cg shader code (Ice from Spelunky, Golden Cards from Hearthstone, Bomb explosions from Zelda, etc.)

It depends on what I am trying to improve on. Currently it is the CMU Database Group https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHnBsf2rH-K7pn09rb3qvkA https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHnBsf2rH-K7pn09rb3qvkA because I have never taken any DB courses in school and I felt the need to shore up my skills there.

  +1 for FunFun Function, even though it's mostly about javascript or web development he talks about general development issues in a very charismatic way

  funfunfunction is great! MPJ's attitude and personality is the best part because he tries to keep you from getting overwhelmed and/or burnt out.
  - sotojuan 10y ago
    I feel bad about fff because I really can't stand MPJ's humor or style of presentation but I know he's a great teacher. One day I'll get over it, but for now I'm just glad he's there to help!
    - JasoonS 10y ago
      Honestly, the appeal to me of FFF (hands down my favourite programming youtube channel) is his quirky sense of humour. Each to his own. The more quirky someone is the more polarising to their fan-base they are, I suppose.
      - wingerlang 10y ago
        Looking at his channel (thumbnails, header etc) makes me think of the usual clickbaity channels on YT.

petercooper 10y ago
https://www.youtube.com/bisqwit https://www.youtube.com/bisqwit is by far my favorite and I've spent many hours watching him. He does things like create a Doom-style engine from scratch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQYsFshbkYw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQYsFshbkYw .. create a NES emulator: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y71lli8MS8s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y71lli8MS8s .. work back from a C++17 example to show why new C++ standards are needed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrwwa68JXNk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrwwa68JXNk .. and even building a Tetris clone in GW-BASIC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDnypVoQcPw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDnypVoQcPw .. Right now, he's doing a series on cracking 80s videogame passwords: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzLzYGEbdY5nEFQsxzFanSDv_38Hz0w7B https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzLzYGEbdY5nEFQsxzFan... Sirajology - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWN3xxRkmTPmbKwht9FuE5A https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWN3xxRkmTPmbKwht9FuE5A - is another interesting one. He moves a bit too quickly for me, but does things like explain machine learning in 5 minutes or how to generate music with systems like Tensorflow.
- jstimpfle 10y ago
  > why new C++ standards are needed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrwwa68JXNk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrwwa68JXNk This video is totally retarded. His intentions (making a vector class with a method that has return types dependent on the size of the vector) are misguided from the start. Maybe there is really no better way to do that in C++98/11/14 than his workarounds, but you just wouldn't do that anyway. Total C++ template hell. Not good advice for developers.
- igitur 10y ago
  I love that Sirojology moves so fast. It's easier to pause and resume than trying to skip over irrelevant bits like is necessary with most tutorials.
- blt 10y ago
  I love Bisqwit. The software development content is great, but also his overall personality and philosophy really come through in the videos and resonate with me personally. The level of craftsmanship in his videos is far beyond the typical powerpoint slides mixed with live editing. It would take paragraphs to list all the reasons why, just watch them.
felixangell1024 10y ago
I've been enjoying Jon Blow's (creator of Braid & The Witness) programming language talks and demos. He's making a new programming language for games, and it's very interesting to watch. I think he's even hired a developer to work on the compiler. Here's the playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmV5I2fxaiCKfxMBrNsU1kgKJXD3PkyxO https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmV5I2fxaiCKfxMBrNsU1...

Youtube.com/thenewboston something very soothing about his videos and humor
- Jemmeh 10y ago
  +1 -- This is where I learned to code actually. He has some really nice -long- courses for quite a few languages. When I first started I went through his VB.NET videos -- it's 200 videos, and it starts with something as simple as variables, but by the end you're doing real projects like calculators and simple video games.
- lowken10 10y ago
  I love thenewboston... He is great for introduction to a variety of technologies.

  Bucky! It has been many years since I saw that name. Made me smile, it is where all my real programming started. I would love to send him something out of gratification.

I'm going to use this opportunity to list some relatively unknown yet excellent software dev related channels that I've come across over the years. * Derek Banas (https://www.youtube.com/user/derekbanas https://www.youtube.com/user/derekbanas): staggering amount of content on a huge variety of programming topics; tutorial-style; this guy is so productive it scares me sometimes :( * Mark Lewis (https://www.youtube.com/user/DrMarkCLewis https://www.youtube.com/user/DrMarkCLewis): CS professor; lots of videos on general CS, functional programming; focus on Scala * VoidRealms (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYP0nk48grsMwO3iL8YaAKA https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYP0nk48grsMwO3iL8YaAKA): excellent C++-focused content, great Qt series * mathematicalmonk (https://www.youtube.com/user/mathematicalmonk https://www.youtube.com/user/mathematicalmonk): great ML and probability videos * mycodeschool (https://www.youtube.com/user/mycodeschool https://www.youtube.com/user/mycodeschool): general CS, algorithms, data structures * HandmadeHero (https://www.youtube.com/user/handmadeheroarchive https://www.youtube.com/user/handmadeheroarchive): excellent series by Casey Muratori that explains a huge number of topics related to game dev, gfx programming; has a really long series of videos documenting how he's building an indie game from the ground up i.e. custom engine I will update once I think of others :)
- malnourish 10y ago
  Derek has helped me more than once. He was instrumental in wrapping my head around design patterns (and combined with the gang-of-four's and head first I feel like I really learned).
- jbronn 10y ago
  I had no idea that Mark Lewis was on YouTube! He was one of my favorite professors at Trinity and I'm grateful to know he's still at it and reaching others outside of San Antonio.

agumonkey 10y ago
I don't think they have dedicated pages, but searching for the classics Dan Friedman and Gerald Sussman is guaranteed brain tease. The minikanren relational interpreter is still high in my top videos ever, and Sussman watch engineering talk was packed with surprises.

https://www.youtube.com/user/handmadeheroarchive/featured https://www.youtube.com/user/handmadeheroarchive/featured https://handmadehero.org/ https://handmadehero.org/ Coding a game engine from scratch, but don't think it's just about games. The techniques covered range from beginner to highly advanced and programmers in any field, at any skill level, can learn a lot. For example, check out the live editing/reloading for C code in Week 5. https://hero.handmade.network/episodes https://hero.handmade.network/episodes
- Tyr42 10y ago
  I'm just going through this right now, and it's pretty amazing. I really like how he develops this prototype, and just writes the code which actually solves the problem first, then breaks it up to try and reduce repetition only after he sees how it looks uncompressed.
  - swah 10y ago
    Yep - that was a bit of an eye opener for me. He is a super smart guy but if you saw a snapshot of this game source your first reaction would be to suggest a series of (micro) improvements...

I do Python mostly. For Python there are conferences called PyCon. Type that into youtube search, and you'll find many channels. These are usually grouped per year and/or location. Watch videos there. The videos are not really for beginners, but for intermediate/advanced skill levels.
TimSchumann 10y ago
Can't believe this hasn't been mentioned yet, so I'm gonna throw it out there. Gary Bernhardt of Destroy All Software. Access to the videos costs $29/month but is well worth it IMO. He covers a very wide range of topics from beginner to advanced. To sum things up in a few words -- his content is focused on a general understanding of computer science and puts concepts, abstractions, and methodologies before any specific program, tool, or programming language. https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/screencasts/catalog https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/screencasts/catalog Look at the episode titles for a better idea of what I'm getting at, there's literally something for everyone. He's also started streaming on twitch occasionally. https://www.twitch.tv/gary_bernhardt/videos/all https://www.twitch.tv/gary_bernhardt/videos/all
- sehr 10y ago
  Are they available on YouTube?
  - TimSchumann 10y ago
    I don't believe so. The author self distributes them through his website. Access to all of the videos for a flat monthly fee.
    - jasonkostempski 10y ago
      Hence why they haven't been mentioned. So, does each "Season" require a subscription? That's how that page makes it look. Even if not, a subscription model for static content is a horrible deal.
      - TimSchumann 10y ago
        > So, does each "Season" require a subscription? Nope, all content is available for the one subscription fee. > Even if not, a subscription model for static content is a horrible deal. I think it depends on the quality of the content. Not that I'd advocate it, but I don't think there is anything stopping you from paying a one month subscription fee and ripping all of the content from the site either. I tend to think of it as a donation similar to tipping someone on Twitch. If I'm getting value out of it, which I am, I want him to keep creating content. And I can stop donating whenever I want.

I was preparing for interviews and came across Tushar Roy's channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZLJf_R2sWyUtXSKiKlyvAw https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZLJf_R2sWyUtXSKiKlyvAw I really like the way he provides most simplistic explanations to the algorithm problems. Really helpful if you are preparing for an interview. If you like physics and want some really good explanations to simple questions, you can check Derek Mueller's channel(Veritasium) on youtube. He is a physicist and has some really good videos. I especially like his video on " Most radioactive places on earth" and a separate video on Chernobyl. Also, check his video on Uranium : Twisting the dragon's tail : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cO57Zm-WNmg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cO57Zm-WNmg
spike021 10y ago
Not so much programming techniques or best-practices, but I've really enjoyed watching Computer Science and Math-related lectures on MIT Opencourseware's channel. I highly recommend that one. If you're trying to re-learn math (and probably going the Khan Academy route) then I highly recommend checking out PatrickJMT's channel. He produces simple, but excellent mathematical videos in a style similar to tutoring (which is how he started doing the videos in the first place). I actually find his style to be much more engaging than Khan (nothing against Khan of course).

I'm a bit of a David Beazley fanboy and Python lover. I've watched all of his keynotes and lectures at this point and I have yet to find one that wasn't incredibly informative. You can watch the video for whatever the main topic is about, but finish the talk having picked up a wealth of other bits of useful information. In addition, I have incredible amounts of respect for people that are willing (and capable) to live code what they're teaching. For one of the best examples of how to effectively live code, look no further than when he implemented a concurrent system from scratch at PyCon 2015: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCs5OvhV9S4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCs5OvhV9S4 Channel (with some of his videos): https://www.youtube.com/user/dabeazllc https://www.youtube.com/user/dabeazllc

  I like live coding as well. For example: https://www.twitch.tv/notch/v/38122203 https://www.twitch.tv/notch/v/38122203 . Notch of Minecraft fame coding a new game from scratch over a period of two days. You get to see what tools they use, what their thought process is and so forth. It's especially good if they know what they're doing, as you can learn when watching it.

- pluma 10y ago
  Okay, couple of things: The elephant in the room: it's a channel with introductory courses from CodeBabes, a site with the premise that the videos are presented by scantily clad ladies who undress as the material gets more advanced. But my actual concern is that the presenters have a thick accent and are obviously reading from a script they didn't write themselves. And stupid sex jokes aside, I'm not convinced the educational material is actually any good. But if you value form over function, I guess this might be interesting.
GrumpyCoder 10y ago
As a newbie gamedev. found these channels helpful. Coding Math (https://www.youtube.com/user/codingmath https://www.youtube.com/user/codingmath): covers all the math you need for games and each ep. have code examples. Bisqwit (https://www.youtube.com/user/Bisqwit https://www.youtube.com/user/Bisqwit): c++, emulators and other cool stuff even his setup is interesting(dosbox+his own editor). ThinMatrix (https://www.youtube.com/user/ThinMatrix https://www.youtube.com/user/ThinMatrix): his videos on VAO and VBO were a savior for me when learning opengl. Daniel Shiffman (https://www.youtube.com/user/shiffman/ https://www.youtube.com/user/shiffman/): his videos are quite beginner friendly explains whole process of creating classic games like snake or creating art with code like fractal trees. Vittorio Romeo: (https://www.youtube.com/user/SuperVictorius https://www.youtube.com/user/SuperVictorius): walks you thru all modern c++ features by creating a game with them.

I do not, in fact, have a favorite YT channel for developers. I hate with a fiery passion the recent fad of making everything that is supposed to be text, maybe text with a few pictures into a video. You cannot search a video. You cannot skim a video. You cannot copy and paste code sample from a video. You cannot watch it offline as easily as you can read a page.

  Different learning styles... Sometimes a video is far more effective for me than reading docs or posts. Especially if its a new language/framework/concept.
  - Veen 10y ago
    I've been learning Vim recently and no amount of trawling through the docs and tutorials inspired me half as much as Derek Wyatt's videos[1]. It's not that I memorized functions and key mappings by watching videos , but without an engaging demonstration of them in video, I'd have had no clue what the possibilities are to begin with. If I'd just read about it, I'd probably have lost interest. Often I use videos to get an understanding of the landscape and the possibilities of some subjects, and then turn to documentation and tutorials for a deeper comprehension. For me, videos aren't a replacement for reading. [1]: http://vimeo.com/user1690209/videos http://vimeo.com/user1690209/videos

Can we go meta? Youtube is doing a lazy job at making me watch more Youtube. I receive notifications for certain channels while I'm at work - later at home, I have no idea how to watch "most interesting stuff from the last days" in a easy way. Then I go open channels manually! Come on! They can easily improve and win the TV and Netflix on the living room... all the creative content is there. Show me some sort of auto generated playlist with the new content from channels I'm subscribed and that are trending.

  YouTube is huge. If you just search the videos from the last week and sort by the number of views, there will be lots of stuff from the popular YouTubers that you don't care for, like makeup tutorials, reactions, some 15 year old ranting incoherently. YouTube main page has recommended videos, which, if you use YouTube regularly, it not bad at all - it learns from your voting and viewing habits.

  >computerphile isn't really for developers. It's for non-developers to get a glimpse into the world of developers. Everything they explain there is extremely elementary. This is true for the most part but there are some videos which are interesting still, like the interviews with Brian Kernighan. Below are said videos in the order they were published. I don't remember but I think parts of one video might be duplicate from one of the other videos. These videos are for historical perspective, not for learning, so depending on what you are looking for these might or might not be for you.

He does things like create a Doom-style engine from scratch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQYsFshbkYw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQYsFshbkYw .. create a NES emulator: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y71lli8MS8s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y71lli8MS8s .. work back from a C++17 example to show why new C++ standards are needed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrwwa68JXNk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrwwa68JXNk .. and even building a Tetris clone in GW-BASIC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDnypVoQcPw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDnypVoQcPw .. Right now, he's doing a series on cracking 80s videogame passwords: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzLzYGEbdY5nEFQsxzFanSDv_38Hz0w7B https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzLzYGEbdY5nEFQsxzFan... Sirajology - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWN3xxRkmTPmbKwht9FuE5A https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWN3xxRkmTPmbKwht9FuE5A - is another interesting one. He moves a bit too quickly for me, but does things like explain machine learning in 5 minutes or how to generate music with systems like Tensorflow.

> why new C++ standards are needed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrwwa68JXNk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrwwa68JXNk This video is totally retarded. His intentions (making a vector class with a method that has return types dependent on the size of the vector) are misguided from the start. Maybe there is really no better way to do that in C++98/11/14 than his workarounds, but you just wouldn't do that anyway. Total C++ template hell. Not good advice for developers.

I love that Sirojology moves so fast. It's easier to pause and resume than trying to skip over irrelevant bits like is necessary with most tutorials.

I love Bisqwit. The software development content is great, but also his overall personality and philosophy really come through in the videos and resonate with me personally. The level of craftsmanship in his videos is far beyond the typical powerpoint slides mixed with live editing. It would take paragraphs to list all the reasons why, just watch them.

I've been enjoying Jon Blow's (creator of Braid & The Witness) programming language talks and demos. He's making a new programming language for games, and it's very interesting to watch. I think he's even hired a developer to work on the compiler.

Youtube.com/thenewboston something very soothing about his videos and humor

Jemmeh 10y ago
+1 -- This is where I learned to code actually. He has some really nice -long- courses for quite a few languages. When I first started I went through his VB.NET videos -- it's 200 videos, and it starts with something as simple as variables, but by the end you're doing real projects like calculators and simple video games.

I'm going to use this opportunity to list some relatively unknown yet excellent software dev related channels that I've come across over the years. * Derek Banas (https://www.youtube.com/user/derekbanas https://www.youtube.com/user/derekbanas): staggering amount of content on a huge variety of programming topics; tutorial-style; this guy is so productive it scares me sometimes :( * Mark Lewis (https://www.youtube.com/user/DrMarkCLewis https://www.youtube.com/user/DrMarkCLewis): CS professor; lots of videos on general CS, functional programming; focus on Scala * VoidRealms (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYP0nk48grsMwO3iL8YaAKA https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYP0nk48grsMwO3iL8YaAKA): excellent C++-focused content, great Qt series * mathematicalmonk (https://www.youtube.com/user/mathematicalmonk https://www.youtube.com/user/mathematicalmonk): great ML and probability videos * mycodeschool (https://www.youtube.com/user/mycodeschool https://www.youtube.com/user/mycodeschool): general CS, algorithms, data structures * HandmadeHero (https://www.youtube.com/user/handmadeheroarchive https://www.youtube.com/user/handmadeheroarchive): excellent series by Casey Muratori that explains a huge number of topics related to game dev, gfx programming; has a really long series of videos documenting how he's building an indie game from the ground up i.e. custom engine I will update once I think of others :)

I'm just going through this right now, and it's pretty amazing. I really like how he develops this prototype, and just writes the code which actually solves the problem first, then breaks it up to try and reduce repetition only after he sees how it looks uncompressed.
- swah 10y ago
  Yep - that was a bit of an eye opener for me. He is a super smart guy but if you saw a snapshot of this game source your first reaction would be to suggest a series of (micro) improvements...

I do Python mostly. For Python there are conferences called PyCon. Type that into youtube search, and you'll find many channels. These are usually grouped per year and/or location. Watch videos there. The videos are not really for beginners, but for intermediate/advanced skill levels.

TimSchumann 10y ago

Can't believe this hasn't been mentioned yet, so I'm gonna throw it out there. Gary Bernhardt of Destroy All Software. Access to the videos costs $29/month but is well worth it IMO. He covers a very wide range of topics from beginner to advanced. To sum things up in a few words -- his content is focused on a general understanding of computer science and puts concepts, abstractions, and methodologies before any specific program, tool, or programming language. https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/screencasts/catalog https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/screencasts/catalog Look at the episode titles for a better idea of what I'm getting at, there's literally something for everyone. He's also started streaming on twitch occasionally. https://www.twitch.tv/gary_bernhardt/videos/all https://www.twitch.tv/gary_bernhardt/videos/all

sehr 10y ago
Are they available on YouTube?
- TimSchumann 10y ago
  I don't believe so. The author self distributes them through his website. Access to all of the videos for a flat monthly fee.
  - jasonkostempski 10y ago
    Hence why they haven't been mentioned. So, does each "Season" require a subscription? That's how that page makes it look. Even if not, a subscription model for static content is a horrible deal.
    - TimSchumann 10y ago
      > So, does each "Season" require a subscription? Nope, all content is available for the one subscription fee. > Even if not, a subscription model for static content is a horrible deal. I think it depends on the quality of the content. Not that I'd advocate it, but I don't think there is anything stopping you from paying a one month subscription fee and ripping all of the content from the site either. I tend to think of it as a donation similar to tipping someone on Twitch. If I'm getting value out of it, which I am, I want him to keep creating content. And I can stop donating whenever I want.

Really helpful if you are preparing for an interview. If you like physics and want some really good explanations to simple questions, you can check Derek Mueller's channel(Veritasium) on youtube. He is a physicist and has some really good videos. I especially like his video on " Most radioactive places on earth" and a separate video on Chernobyl. Also, check his video on Uranium : Twisting the dragon's tail : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cO57Zm-WNmg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cO57Zm-WNmg

Not so much programming techniques or best-practices, but I've really enjoyed watching Computer Science and Math-related lectures on MIT Opencourseware's channel. I highly recommend that one. If you're trying to re-learn math (and probably going the Khan Academy route) then I highly recommend checking out PatrickJMT's channel. He produces simple, but excellent mathematical videos in a style similar to tutoring (which is how he started doing the videos in the first place). I actually find his style to be much more engaging than Khan (nothing against Khan of course).

I'm a bit of a David Beazley fanboy and Python lover. I've watched all of his keynotes and lectures at this point and I have yet to find one that wasn't incredibly informative. You can watch the video for whatever the main topic is about, but finish the talk having picked up a wealth of other bits of useful information. In addition, I have incredible amounts of respect for people that are willing (and capable) to live code what they're teaching. For one of the best examples of how to effectively live code, look no further than when he implemented a concurrent system from scratch at PyCon 2015: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCs5OvhV9S4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCs5OvhV9S4 Channel (with some of his videos): https://www.youtube.com/user/dabeazllc https://www.youtube.com/user/dabeazllc

Notch of Minecraft fame coding a new game from scratch over a period of two days. You get to see what tools they use, what their thought process is and so forth.

Okay, couple of things: The elephant in the room: it's a channel with introductory courses from CodeBabes, a site with the premise that the videos are presented by scantily clad ladies who undress as the material gets more advanced. But my actual concern is that the presenters have a thick accent and are obviously reading from a script they didn't write themselves. And stupid sex jokes aside, I'm not convinced the educational material is actually any good. But if you value form over function, I guess this might be interesting.

As a newbie gamedev. found these channels helpful. Coding Math (https://www.youtube.com/user/codingmath https://www.youtube.com/user/codingmath): covers all the math you need for games and each ep. have code examples. Bisqwit (https://www.youtube.com/user/Bisqwit https://www.youtube.com/user/Bisqwit): c++, emulators and other cool stuff even his setup is interesting(dosbox+his own editor). ThinMatrix (https://www.youtube.com/user/ThinMatrix https://www.youtube.com/user/ThinMatrix): his videos on VAO and VBO were a savior for me when learning opengl. Daniel Shiffman (https://www.youtube.com/user/shiffman/ https://www.youtube.com/user/shiffman/): his videos are quite beginner friendly explains whole process of creating classic games like snake or creating art with code like fractal trees. Vittorio Romeo: (https://www.youtube.com/user/SuperVictorius https://www.youtube.com/user/SuperVictorius): walks you thru all modern c++ features by creating a game with them.

I do not, in fact, have a favorite YT channel for developers. I hate with a fiery passion the recent fad of making everything that is supposed to be text, maybe text with a few pictures into a video. You cannot search a video. You cannot skim a video. You cannot copy and paste code sample from a video. You cannot watch it offline as easily as you can read a page.

Different learning styles... Sometimes a video is far more effective for me than reading docs or posts. Especially if its a new language/framework/concept.
- Veen 10y ago
  I've been learning Vim recently and no amount of trawling through the docs and tutorials inspired me half as much as Derek Wyatt's videos[1]. It's not that I memorized functions and key mappings by watching videos , but without an engaging demonstration of them in video, I'd have had no clue what the possibilities are to begin with. If I'd just read about it, I'd probably have lost interest. Often I use videos to get an understanding of the landscape and the possibilities of some subjects, and then turn to documentation and tutorials for a deeper comprehension. For me, videos aren't a replacement for reading. [1]: http://vimeo.com/user1690209/videos http://vimeo.com/user1690209/videos

Brian Will (https://www.youtube.com/user/briantwill/videos https://www.youtube.com/user/briantwill/videos). I came into his channel from looking at his Clojure videos, but he has many other videos on other languages, basic (but easily misunderstood) programming concepts, and opinionated and educational videos on general programming paradigms.

His way of teaching is quite different from many others.

It would be usefull if HN have an "add post to favorites". If not, I'm forced to comment to save the link. :) BTW, I learnt some Android programming with a 2012 playlist in youtube (Android bootcamp). I guess is dated now.

Nobody mentioned Confreaks yet? I'm surprised. https://www.youtube.com/user/Confreaks https://www.youtube.com/user/Confreaks Confreaks records, broadcasts and covers conferences, talks and presentation relevant to all kinds of developers. Neatly organized in a playlist per event and uploaded reasonably quick I consider their coverage as extremely valuable for someone like me who isn't able or willing to attend all those great conferences and talks that are still very much relevant to me.

Will anyone recommend some Youtube channels for: - C++ learning from scratch - OOP - Architecture and Design? Thanks

rekshaw 10y ago

famous gaming youtuber Quill18 also has a side channel called quill18creates, in which he creates various types of games from scratch. His content is pretty cool! I listen to him at 1.5x speed. His channel is really good if you want to get into game development, especially with the Unity engine.

in_the_sticks 10y ago
He's also got a Twitch stream (name: quill18). He mostly plays games but there's Patreon-funded content on the programming side now and then as well - the most memorable was probably him writing a simple tower defense game in an hour.

Coding for Entrepreneurs: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWEHue8kksIaktO8KTTN_zg https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWEHue8kksIaktO8KTTN_zg Depending on your level, it might be quite basic, but the titles of the videos are simply superb, and each video deals with a concrete topic so it's easy to follow along. Not Youtube, but /r/watchpeoplecode has some great videos, often from Twitch: https://www.reddit.com/r/WatchPeopleCode/ https://www.reddit.com/r/WatchPeopleCode/ Next Day Video has some great talks: https://www.youtube.com/user/NextDayVideo/videos https://www.youtube.com/user/NextDayVideo/videos Not coding, VPRO from the Netherlands (English language) has some great "hacker" interest documentaries, e.g. the future of renewable energy, growing vegetables under LEDs or high frequency traders: https://www.youtube.com/user/VPROinternational/videos https://www.youtube.com/user/VPROinternational/videos Hardware hacking (admittedly I haven't watched it much): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfo1-oOnGqp1UgygGqlZL4A/videos https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfo1-oOnGqp1UgygGqlZL4A/vid... CGP Grey: https://www.youtube.com/user/CGPGrey/videos https://www.youtube.com/user/CGPGrey/videos Great For coding/concerntration music, this music has some really nice electronic music: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqaay_q0YERQBEg4o5EjvZw https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqaay_q0YERQBEg4o5EjvZw (warning the "cover" images are quite porn-y and NSFW, but the music is good) EDIT: Mighty car mods is a hilarious pair of lads from Australia, they do funny and informative car mods to some sweet Japanese cars: https://www.youtube.com/user/mightycarmods/videos https://www.youtube.com/user/mightycarmods/videos Jeorg Sprave is a German guy who makes truly insane catapults, slingshots, bows, cannons, modified Nerf guns, etc and demonstrates their use: https://www.youtube.com/user/JoergSprave/videos https://www.youtube.com/user/JoergSprave/videos

Google Chrome Developers (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnUYZLuoy1rq1aVMwx4aTzw https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnUYZLuoy1rq1aVMwx4aTzw), lots of good shows about JavaScript goodness, including some very state of the art stuff (HTTP2 for instance). A few good shows including a live one.

swah 10y ago

Can we go meta? Youtube is doing a lazy job at making me watch more Youtube. I receive notifications for certain channels while I'm at work - later at home, I have no idea how to watch "most interesting stuff from the last days" in a easy way. Then I go open channels manually! Come on! They can easily improve and win the TV and Netflix on the living room... all the creative content is there. Show me some sort of auto generated playlist with the new content from channels I'm subscribed and that are trending.

imaginenore 10y ago
YouTube is huge. If you just search the videos from the last week and sort by the number of views, there will be lots of stuff from the popular YouTubers that you don't care for, like makeup tutorials, reactions, some 15 year old ranting incoherently. YouTube main page has recommended videos, which, if you use YouTube regularly, it not bad at all - it learns from your voting and viewing habits.
- swah 10y ago
  Sure, but at least the channels I subscribe and have notifications turned on.. (notifications turned on = strong signal that I care about those). Etc.
