Ask HN: What is your favorite YouTube channel for developers?
What are the good channels for developers on YouTube to learn about e.g., programming techniques or best-practices?
- jefflombardjr 9y agoCan't recommend Fun Fun Function enough - awesome sense of humor and super informative. If you want to level up, you'll be a better developer watching one of these every week. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCO1cgjhGzsSYb1rsB4bFe4Q https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCO1cgjhGzsSYb1rsB4bFe4Q
- ssemmaprise 9y agoI <3 MPJ! He's the best.
- t3h2mas 9y agoCame here to post this channel. It jives well with my curiosity. I was happily surprised to see him have 2 luna-lang videos come out less than a week after luna-lang made it on my to-play-with radar.
- Prof3ssorSt3v3 9y agoI have my own channel on YouTube for programming videos but I have to give credit to MPJ for being the excellent inspiration for me to start posting. His videos are both informative and entertaining.
- sethgecko 9y agoThis guy is awesome, focuses in information theory/cryptography https://www.youtube.com/user/ArtOfTheProblem https://www.youtube.com/user/ArtOfTheProblem
- ssemmaprise 9y agoI really like the sense of humor and fun that Dan Shiffman has on The Coding Train: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvjgXvBlbQiydffZU7m1_aw https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvjgXvBlbQiydffZU7m1_aw
- hivacruz 9y agoI like "The Coding Train" a lot. Very entertaining, the guy is fun. It might look not serious enough for some people but I personally learn a lot of things watching his videos. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvjgXvBlbQiydffZU7m1_aw https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvjgXvBlbQiydffZU7m1_aw
- iwakura 9y agoBisqwit's video focusing on systems and graphics programming are total gems. https://www.youtube.com/user/Bisqwit/videos?view=0&flow=grid&sort=p https://www.youtube.com/user/Bisqwit/videos?view=0&flow=grid... Not particularly useful for web developers which is what most programmers are nowdays, they will still blow your mind though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQYsFshbkYw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQYsFshbkYw
- Froyoh 9y agoLiveOverflow: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClcE-kVhqyiHCcjYwcpfj9w https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClcE-kVhqyiHCcjYwcpfj9w Does a great job of explaining various software exploits, vulnerabilities, and other cool stuff
- rpeden 9y agoI enjoy Bisqwit: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKTehwyGCKF-b2wo0RKwrcg https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKTehwyGCKF-b2wo0RKwrcg He often focuses on some pretty esoteric topics. In one video, he prototyped a simple 3d rendered in QBasic. I'm not sure if you pick up best practices from Bisqwit, but you'll probably learn some interesting programming techniques.
- ivanfon 9y agoTheHappieCat. She talks about various computer science topics, usually with a focus on games. She also occasionally does tutorials for engines/languages. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBsuOBu-dxj5bx1KMgmar5g https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBsuOBu-dxj5bx1KMgmar5g
- themango 9y agoTraversy Media is an awesome resource for beginners and seasoned developers alike! Brad curates succinct tutorials all while humbly delivering the content in a way that makes it feel like you're pair programming with a buddy! https://www.youtube.com/user/TechGuyWeb https://www.youtube.com/user/TechGuyWeb
- busymichael 9y agoCoding Tech takes programming related talks from all types of conferences and aggregates them into their one channel. Always interesting and always high level. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtxCXg-UvSnTKPOzLH4wJaQ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtxCXg-UvSnTKPOzLH4wJaQ Also, Siraj: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWN3xxRkmTPmbKwht9FuE5A https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWN3xxRkmTPmbKwht9FuE5A Siraj gives you the quick and dirty on how complex problems are solved with code. Not really tutorials, but more of a "how to" you can use to start your research.

- nspriego 9y ago3blue1brown if you haven't already seen a vid of his yet I'd highly recommend it. You wont see any code, but he explains computer science and math concepts really well. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYO_jab_esuFRV4b17AJtAw https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYO_jab_esuFRV4b17AJtAw
- Lordarminius 9y agoTraversy media ++ Coding Tech Derek Banas videos (for a quick 60 minute introduction to covered topics) ...among others
- mpowell94 9y agoSentdex is my favorite, learned python and django from him
- wodenokoto 9y agoI generally find the videos from PyCon informative and the presenters are generally good at presenting. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrJhliKNQ8g0qoE_zvL8eVg https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrJhliKNQ8g0qoE_zvL8eVg
- terminalcommand 9y agoIf you're interested in Go, JustforFunc is pretty interesting: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_BzFbxG2za3bp5NRRRXJSw https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_BzFbxG2za3bp5NRRRXJSw The author covers some interesting and advanced details of Golang in an entertaining fashion.
- andygrunwald 9y agoI second that. You can even tweet Franscesc about possible topics and he will listen.
- aczerepinski 9y agoAgreed. I especially enjoy the code review episodes.
- kingherring 9y agoI have a programming channel of my own where I do live programming streams: https://www.youtube.com/user/KingHerring https://www.youtube.com/user/KingHerring I haven't seen anyone else do this. Check it out if you're into that sort of thing; I also plan on doing more tutorials when I have the time. There's a lot of other good YouTubers I list on the channel's suggested channels sidebar. EDIT: cbaggers is great for lisp weenies. He also does streams. https://www.youtube.com/user/CBaggers?app=desktop https://www.youtube.com/user/CBaggers?app=desktop
- Davertron 9y agoJames Long (jlongster) does this from time to time. I haven't watched any of his videos yet but I find it hard to believe that they wouldn't be interesting considering his talks/articles etc. https://www.twitch.tv/jlongster https://www.twitch.tv/jlongster
- mattrick 9y agoThe Google Chrome Developers channel has great videos on various topics relating to web development: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnUYZLuoy1rq1aVMwx4aTzw https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnUYZLuoy1rq1aVMwx4aTzw

- Aryal007 9y agoIt could depend on which programming language one is using. For eg: I use python and I love sentdex. But it could be different depending upon your language of choice. https://www.youtube.com/user/sentdex https://www.youtube.com/user/sentdex
- drizze 9y agoComputerphile, lots of their videos stay away from the details of code, but the concepts they talk about are fascinating. https://www.youtube.com/user/Computerphile https://www.youtube.com/user/Computerphile
- aalhour 9y agoSeconded. Came here to post Computerphile. What is your favorite video, btw? Mine is the series on Turing and the Enigma. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzH6n4zXuckodsatCTEuxaygCHizMS0_I https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzH6n4zXuckodsatCTEux...

- sashaikevich 9y ago- DevTips (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyIe-61Y8C4_o-zZCtO4ETQ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyIe-61Y8C4_o-zZCtO4ETQ) for HTML and CSS. Some pretty things and a well-documented process (errors and all) - CodingTrain (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvjgXvBlbQiydffZU7m1_aw https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvjgXvBlbQiydffZU7m1_aw) for JS is good. You know how you sometimes come across a video of a teacher, and go "man, I wish I had teachers like this when I was in school"? Well, this guy is like that - really enthusiastic and great to watch. - Avelx (https://www.youtube.com/user/avelx https://www.youtube.com/user/avelx) is another great channel! He explains JS and programming concepts very, very well. Then, for some more advanced stuff (frameworks, libraries, etc) there's: - LeanWebCode (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHRp19HU7Y2LwfI0Ai6WAGQ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHRp19HU7Y2LwfI0Ai6WAGQ) - Kirupa Chinnathambi (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZCQ3LXtU3IUzMBQBqN69KQ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZCQ3LXtU3IUzMBQBqN69KQ) - Traversy Media (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC29ju8bIPH5as8OGnQzwJyA https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC29ju8bIPH5as8OGnQzwJyA) - TheNewBoston (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJbPGzawDH1njbqV-D5HqKw https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJbPGzawDH1njbqV-D5HqKw) - Finally, I want to mention Steve Griffith for some lesser known JS methods and examples of great code (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTBGXCJHORQjivtgtMsmkAQ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTBGXCJHORQjivtgtMsmkAQ)
