Ask HN: Do you use any tools/services to help with your learning?
- mikece 4y agoBooks: lots available through the public library system in the US. One of the libraries to which I have a membership gives me access to Safari Books online so I've already had the change to read through the new 4th edition MySql Cookbook that was published this month. Video training: TONS of options and not limited to the US. Hackathons: find a group who is using a tool/skill you want to learn and offer to help them with anything (getting pizza and drinks, documentation, etc) as long as they teach you about how to use the tool/skill along the way. Mentorship: lots of folks like to share what they know; a Zoom screen-sharing session can go a long way to learning and understanding new skills.
- miletus 4y agoHow much do you pay for those tools/services?
- jethronethro 4y agoPhysical books (usually bought through my employer or borrowed from a library), a pen or pencil (fine point), and a notebook.
