This is cool - but unfortunately no C# Can anyone recommend c# talks?

  NDC Confernece has some awesome ones.
  - Insanity 7y ago
    Techorama (Belgium) and TechDays (Netherlands) post some good talks from their conferences as well.

Some of the music-related talks in the 'Miscellaneous' section I've seen before (I don't think I've seen all of them though!) and they're fantastic. Highly recommended!

  They’re some of my favorites (the Hammond organ one is just hilarious)! Sometimes it’s just hard to categorize things, and things end up in a low-visibility section like Miscellaneous.

No C#!?

No TypeScript. No C# but there is F#?

  Original curator here. I don’t have experience with either TypeScript or C#, so I rely on other people pointing me at great talks in this space! I do have a slight skew towards functional programming, so this list probably reflects that—I’m still the person who’s added most talks, and probably one of the few or even the only person who has watched all of them.

I was surprised Gary Bernhardt wasn't on the list of notable speakers, so I scraped the names I could find and counted them. Here are the talk authors with 4 or more talks listed: Rich Hickey: 15; David Nolen: 14; David Beazley: 10; Scott Meyers: 8; Douglas Crockford: 7; Brandon Rhodes: 7; Sandi Metz: 7; Chandler Carruth: 6; Rob Pike: 6; Simon Peyton Jones: 6; Edwin Brady: 6; Aaron Patterson: 6; Garrett Smith: 5; Zach Tellman: 5; Herb Sutter: 5; Kevlin Henney: 5; Evan Czaplicki: 5; Joe Armstrong: 5; Reginald Braithwaite: 5; Conal Elliott: 5; Gary Bernhardt: 5; Bodil Stokke: 4; Adrian Cockcroft: 4; Cliff Click: 4; Guy Steele: 4; Kyle Kingsbury: 4; Philip Wadler: 4;

  Super interesting work, thanks! At one point I just stopped adding people to the list, but I guess that doesn’t make much sense. Gary Bernhardt and more than just a few other people from your scrape deserve to be on that list!

Wow, I really like this list. Did I overlook it, or is there any work to export this to a YT playlist?
- hellerve 7y ago
  Sadly not! It’s also worth pointing out that not all of the talks are hosted on YouTube. Maybe `youtube-dl` can help you anyway, though!

    Indeed, a job for "git annex addurl" in a loop.

  you can use regex to mine the youtube talks curl https://github.com/hellerve/programming-talks/blob/master/README.md | grep -oP "http(?:s?):\/\/(?:www\.)?youtu(?:be\.com\/watch\?v=|\.be\/)([\w\-\_]*)(&(amp;)? [\w\? =]*)?"

I really like this list, and will be watching plenty of these in the future. Out of curiosity, I googled for other resources for "awesome talks" and found https://github.com/JanVanRyswyck/awesome-talks https://github.com/JanVanRyswyck/awesome-talks https://github.com/SaraVieira/awesome-talks https://github.com/SaraVieira/awesome-talks The second one is a bit too clever for its own good. It's visually appealing (you know, after git cloning it, installing npm and serving it locally because for some reason it's an entire web app), but obscures the full extent of all the talks available and the main page feels tedious to navigate. There is a full listing if you go to categories, but I find it harder to parse than, say, a simple text list as in the original link. I'm not sure what the thumbnails add information-wise, since all you see is some person on a stage in most cases. My original intent was to see if similar resources existed for other fields, since I found the "misc" section to be interesting. But I'm realizing now the whole "awesome(tm)" movement is a programmer thing, and doesn't really exist outside of that. Which seems unfortunate, imo. I don't know any good places to find decent talks or lectures for topics other than CS/programming.

For Java I would add some of Marc Reinhold's talks. Also he has a very nice voice - that is a pleasure to listen to.

  Thanks for suggesting him! I was unaware of his talks, and instantly fell in love! The first talk just made the list, and I’m planning on looking through more of his talks in the coming days.

I mostly find interesting tech talks using this YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtxCXg-UvSnTKPOzLH4wJaQ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtxCXg-UvSnTKPOzLH4wJaQ It has a lot of tech talks however some are not that great, nice to see a better curated list.

I am surprised by the lack of talks by Jonathan Blow. This is a fantastic list despite any and all missing talks.
