Best resources to learn X – looking for collaborators and feedback

Hi! For the past few months I've been working on bestresourcestolearnx.com – it's a collection of excellent books, articles, courses, and other learning resources on programming, CS, and math. The idea is to help people in tech learn new stuff more effectively.

The idea is not new – there are many awesome lists and other compilations of links like free-programming-books. But they provide you with links only. As a learner, I'd like to get a brief description of different resources, how they relate to each other, and which one better fits my needs. I would also like to get a brief intro to the topic I'm about to learn – to get some context. So I'm trying to build a place like that – see Best resource to learn Shell, for example.

So far I've covered topics I'm familiar with (I'm a backend dev with interests in CS and math). There are > 30 topics and 90 resources, so you may already find something useful, but the project is still at the very early stage.

I believe a website like this can be really useful for developers and people in tech in general, but I see why there is none – it's quite a lot of work to distil the best content. I won't be able to cover all the topics worth covering so I'm looking for people to collaborate on the project. More specifically, I'm interested in:

  • Contributors – if you like the idea and want to cover some topic(s) you know about.
  • Partners – if you have wide interests in tech and learning and would like to work on the project together. It's a non-commercial project at the moment, but I have ideas how to monetize it in a good way.

Foremost, the website needs topics on fronted/JS frameworks, DevOps (k8s, cloud), programming languages. Here's the topics roadmap I came up with: https://github.com/r4victor/brtlx#topics-roadmap.

I would also like to get a feedback on the project. Would you bookmark it? What topics are you interested in?

Please tell me what you think. Thanks!
