Resources

A carefully curated collection of tools, libraries, and learning materials that have shaped my development journey. These resources represent the best of what I've discovered through years of building, breaking, and rebuilding software.

Essential Developer Tools

Beyond the utilities hosted on this site, these external tools form the backbone of modern development workflows:

• Version Control: Git, GitHub, GitLab – the foundation of collaborative coding
• Code Editors: VS Code, Neovim, Sublime Text – choose your weapon wisely
• API Testing: Postman, Insomnia, Thunder Client – essential for backend development
• Performance: Lighthouse, WebPageTest – because speed matters
• Database Tools: TablePlus, DBeaver, pgAdmin – managing data with confidence

Learning Platforms

Continuous learning keeps us relevant. These platforms offer exceptional technical content:

• Interactive Coding: Execute Program, Exercism – learn by doing
• System Design: High Scalability, System Design Primer – architect like a pro
• Computer Science: MIT OpenCourseWare, CS50 – fundamentals that never go out of style
• Web Technologies: MDN Web Docs, web.dev – the source of truth for web standards

Open Source Libraries

Standing on the shoulders of giants – libraries that accelerate development:

• Frontend Frameworks: React, Vue, Svelte, Solid – building modern UIs
