Discussion on: What are good Resources to learn about core IT Topics?

Thank you for your response.

That's actually the problem. The topics I mean are the ones I'm not typically exposed to, so there is no list.

So maybe creating a list would be a great starting point.

I know that there is a lot of prerequisite knowledge necessary to fully understand those topics, but that's not what I'm after. I'd like to get an overview of these technologies. What they are, their advantages, disadvantages, and very broadly how they work.

Reading Wikipedia pages is probably very close to what I want, thanks for the hint.

If the topics I mentioned are not core IT topics, could you give examples on topics that are? For some reason categorizing more broadly than specific technologies or areas (e.g. backend, frontend) is quite difficult for me, and I'm eager to improve in that.

developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/L...

developers.google.com/web/fundamen...
