\"Finding<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In the previous article<\/a><\/noindex> I shared my vision of the process for building a basic system for organizing personal development (applicable to the IT field).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It outlined in general terms and quite conditionally the steps needed to build this system. However, I'd like to add a bit of specificity\u2014sharing resources that will help you gain new knowledge.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

So, I invite all interested parties read more<\/em>!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/noindex><\/p>\n

Introduction<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

In today's information space, it's very easy to get lost. Technologies are rapidly evolving, new gadgets are being released, frameworks and programming languages are improving, and new products are being developed daily while older ones gain functionality. An enormous flow of information rushes past us, making it challenging to catch something truly worthy of our attention.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

To not miss out on the information that interests us, we create lists of our preferences and tastes. They help us navigate the chaos of IT.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Next, I will provide an example of such a list that I compiled for myself. In terms of blogs and podcasts, it mainly concerns .NET<\/em> development, but it includes resources that will be useful to everyone.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

At the end of the article<\/a><\/noindex> there's a link to a repository where I cataloged relevant resources interesting not only .NET<\/em> to developers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Useful Resources<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

IT Event Aggregators<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

One of the most effective ways to gain new knowledge is by participating in events. These can be meetups, conferences, hackathons, or simply gatherings of like-minded people. You can be either a listener or a speaker. It's important to find communities that are willing to share knowledge with the masses, take on organization and hosting of meetings, and provide opportunities for sharing experiences and expertise.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

To find such events, there are several aggregators. Here are the ones I use:<\/p>\n

Blogs<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

A good way to gain new and relevant knowledge might be reading the blogs of practicing developers and technical evangelists. Here I will only present those blogs that I periodically read myself. They are largely aimed at .NET<\/em> developers in a federated network.<\/p>\n

Podcasts<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

If you spend a lot of time on the go (commuting by car or subway) or enjoy combining learning with other activities (like coding or cooking), then audio podcasts are definitely for you. Personally, I like this format the most (alongside watching videos at YouTube<\/strong>), because you can do it in the background without interrupting your main activities.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Here's a partial list of podcasts on .NET<\/em> (and more) that I listen to from time to time:<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

In addition to the types of resources I've mentioned, there are many others: Telegram-<\/em> and YouTube-<\/em>channels, newsletters, webinars, and other formats. I didn't list them all here; you can easily find them yourself. Make sure to choose those that suit you best. The main thing is that the information you receive is valuable to you.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

If you feel capable, have organizational skills, or a knack for public speaking, then you should reach out to the organizers of existing communities and events. They will always help you prepare for your speeches and give useful advice on building your own community. Take the initiative, and you will succeed.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Share in the comments the resources that help you.<\/p>\n

Below are some links that may be helpful on your self-development journey. Wishing you patience and good luck!<\/p>\n
