What are your favourite dev resources?

We as developers are lucky to have tons of resources out there that can help us, maybe even too many. I would like to know what are some of the resources that you use most of the time.

For me I will list here some of the resources that I use, please add yours in the comments.

General searching, any language/framework:

• Stack Overflow, I think this is the same for most developers.

Android (I mostly work on native Android applications):

• Android Developers, the official docs from Google
• Android Arsenal, to search for libraries that I can use

PHP/Laravel (I sometimes work in PHP and most projects are with Laravel):

• PHP.net, official documentation for PHP
• Laravel, official documentation for the Laravel framework
• Laracasts, community forum for Laravel and Laravel related topics

Server related documentation:

• DigitalOcean Community, I am a big fan of the tutorials here! I learned a lot from them

---

With the information gathered from this post I will make a follow up post that I think will speed up (basic) searching on your favourite resources.

I recently came across refactoring.guru/
It's a clear, but fun place to teach you about code smells and how to avoid them.

I love how they build their website! Looks very interesting to go through.

[Tari R. Alfaro]

I have a lot of resources. I stick with the high quality ones though.

Here is my PHP resources.

• PHP
• PHP the Right Way
• Paragonie Blog
• Stitcher

Must say, gotta love it when websites have beautiful UI and UX without the need of JavaScript, looking at Stitcher and PHP the Right Way. <3

I also follow EFF and Information Security Handbook closely.

Thanks for sharing! PHP: The Right Way looks very interesting, will check it out.

Apart from dev.to:

• a couple of weekly newsletters. I love Ruby Weekly. There are more of them on other dev topics.
• books. I have a huge list to read, here's a part of it
• twitter. I cleaned up my feed, so most of it is useful in terms of learning or finding out of new stuff (I mostly use other sites to waste my time :)
• podcasts (One day I'll make a list of those I listen to)
• reading code (e.g. of opensource projects on github)
• I also like Stephen Grider's Udemy courses, but I only learn from them occasionally

[Glenn Carremans]

Thanks for thinking out of the box and sharing resources besides websites 😄indeed there are lots of other mediums that we can use to gain knowledge.

Awesome stuff you got there at Freebies Hunt sir!

[Orim Dominic Adah]

DevDocs extension on my local, especially when I don't have internet.. It's just awesome. I hope they add RxJS documentation to it soonest

[Glenn Carremans]

Of course DEV! I learned a lot of things since I discovered this awesome community.

Very interesting list, I will check some of them out.

Cool project, maybe I can add a couple of missing resources 😎
