Finding good content on the internet these days is a real challenge. A lot of the times I find myself staring at the monitor wondering what I should search for, just to find that juicy content that goes into the detail of how something works, and also doesn't annoy me with all the bullshit ads, newsletters, and such.
The original idea for the web was really simple, a place for folks to share, store, and find information. It was no more than HTML and CSS. Now that we have google tracking us on practically every corner of the internet, its difficult to find a clean resource you could say. If you're paranoid about your privacy like I am, you know the anger you get after clicking.. I agree.
If you don't want to waste any of your time watching a YouTube video and want answers RIGHT NOW, then here are my thoughts. Unless you are a person with serious brain issues, the following applies to you. Your brain is made to be flexible, and to adapt to new environments, whether they are filled with Netflix & Chill, reading books, doing fun activities, interacting with people, or anything else. And your brain may well have a favorite learning style. But that doesn't mean that you should limit yourself to that learning style only, in fact, you have to challenge your brain to step out of its comfort zone and learn, think, adapt, and consider.
I only realized this after coming into I.T., at the beginning I though that learning was gonna be a simple watch & learn process. Well, after 5 years of being into I.T., I can safely say that I was wrong. Most learning requires the will to read, explore, dig deep, and most importantly.. experiment!
If this seems new to you or even strange, just know that it will show up sooner or later in your career and the sooner you start your reading habit, the easier and more fun it will be! So why not start today? Get yourself a damn book, go read some research papers online, share, learn, adapt, and grow :)
Anyway, I will be leaving you with some good resources down here.
Search for websites containing only HTML and CSS. What your brain should desire is content and nothing more.
Same as the previous website, except you have a much wider index to search through. You can also filter websites if you want to.
Open source project that has many interesting filters to choose from while scraping data from different search engines and keeping you anonymous.
Read the docs!
