The Best Developer Resources to Give you an Edge!
This page is entirely dedicated to providing useful, easy to digest and engaging articles, courses, videos and more about coding, software development, and developer productivity. All hand-picked by me.
So, if you are looking to get into development, step up to the next level or indulge in dev-y goodness, you should definitely bookmark this page and give it a share too.
These are the best developer resources that I myself have read or used and I recommend them entirely off the value I got from them.

Write Pythonic Code Like a Seasoned Developer [PAID]
Now I feel that I should start off by saying that this is a course you have to pay for. However, the quality of this course is outstanding and the knowledge you get from it is invaluable.
This course was created by Michael Kennedy whom you probably know from his popular podcast Talk Python To Me. It covers writing pythonic Python code, best practices and patterns; the kind of stuff that you don’t learn from textbooks and courses, but that you attain from years of experience. As I said, invaluable information.

Muji A5 Dot Grid Notebook

Even though us developers are for the most part, technological-types, a surprising number of us have an analog side to us and enjoy working with pen and paper – me included.
There is something about the feeling of writing with a nice pen onto thick, slightly off-white paper.
Using a pen and paper to design UX flows, wire frame, draw flow diagram, plan architecture and come up with ideas is my usual choice due to the free workflow and the speed it offers. Because of this, I came to the conclusion that a best developer resources list would not be complete without a good notebook.
The Muji dot grid notebook (Amazon link) was recommended to me by my boss. It has quality paper, is a nice size and there is a dot grid on each of the pages.
The dot grid is not as intrusive as lines, so you can draw freely, but provides guidelines for sketching out wire frames and diagrams.
