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.

Here are the ressources I use on a daily basis:
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.
I have a lot of resources. I stick with the high quality ones though.
Here is my PHP resources.
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:
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.
At least for Flutter the docs and the code it self is very well written to understand the ongoings
References / learning:
Questions:
Other:
Dash/ Kapeli for docs.
MDN for examples .
I like to use YouTube.
Last resort is StackOverflow
Awesome stuff you got there at Freebies Hunt sir!
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
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 😎
Definitively regex101.com for regexes. Time savior!
I have actually used that site last week 😂it really helped me a lot with testing my regex against different strings.
All the documentationz and downloaded into Dash for offline and alfred integrations:
I have to say Google, but perhaps that’s too obvious. I do consider that being able to search for and find solutions is a skill that is learned and honed. That’s always where I start.
Second is Github. Looking for my own past solutions and/or solutions from the organizations I’m apart of. Great way to ensure that you’re staying consistent.
Since you work on Android:
These will keep you busy. Careful with the impostor syndrome though, because there's a truckload of information being published every day :P
Oh yeah I am subscribed to the Android Weekly newsletter, very interesting stuff every time.
The others are new to me, thanks for sharing.
The Rust Book
The Rust Cookbook
Both invaluable references for Rust development, especially beginners.
I don't have any experience in Rust but thanks for sharing these resources, they look very detailed.
