As an unaffiliated IT professional, I have a certain independence on the technology stacks and techniques that I follow, but that comes with the flip side of having to chart my own continuing education as well.
For strategic executive topics and a look into upcoming technologies, these YouTube channels have been the most valuable to me:
- GOTO Conferences
- Continuous Delivery
- freeCodeCamp.org
- Mark Richards
- Thoughtworks
- The Linux Foundation
- NDC Conferences
- Google Cloud Tech
- IBM Technology
- Association for Continuing Machinery
The content from these sites have the added bonus of being generally listenable, so I run them as podcasts while walking, driving, or doing chores.
Let me know what other sources you recommend!
