Learn how to learn

Popular course by Barbara Oakley is enjoyable experience with great practical advice on learning new skills. Free weekly newsletter is helpful, even long after completing the course. https://www.coursera.org/learn/learning-how-to-learn

Another great resource for inspiration and advice is Dr. Richard W. Hamming’s lectures, particularly Intro to The Art of Doing Science and Engineering: Learning to Learn. Last lecture in the course is You and your research - a masterpiece. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AD4b-52jtos&list=PL2FF649D0C4407B30&index=1

Mike Acton’s CppCon’14 talk

Main topic is physical reality of compuing and creating software: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rX0ItVEVjHc

DeltaChat

Open source, end-to-end encrypted and decentralized messenger https://delta.chat/ Feel free to send me a message there!

Raylib

A simple and easy-to-use library to enjoy videogames programming https://www.raylib.com

NOTE for ADVENTURERS: raylib is a programming library to enjoy videogames programming; no fancy interface, no visual helpers, no auto-debugging… just coding in the most pure spartan-programmers way.

The Witness

My favourite game, by far. http://the-witness.net

I follow it’s creator, Jonathan Blow, closely, as he works on a new game and a new programming language. https://www.twitch.tv/j_blow

TIS-100

Deep and fun game about programming http://www.zachtronics.com/tis-100/

I recommend to check out other games by Zachtronics as well.
