There are no decent educational resources for experienced programmers (except books for narrow specific technical topics).
I know that from personal experience as an engineer and an educator.
There are strong economical reasons for that:
1. Experienced engineers can only learn something worthwhile from much more experienced ones
2. Extremely experienced engineers are rare kind on its own
3. Being a good teacher is a standalone set of skills and attitudes
4. It is extremely small set of intersection between being good engineer and a good teacher.
5. Courses from such people would cost a fortune to cover time and effort.
6. Experienced developers while being a paying audience, are at the same time extremely picky and hard to educate (because they already feel smart and know how to do things). Which makes situation even worse.
7. At the same time there are millions of noobs ready to consume almost anything you throw at them.
So imagine you are an engineer capable of teaching something. What would you do?
