learnbyexample weekly

Motivation

I come across various programming resources while researching for the books I write and as part of social media browsing.

I hope that this free newsletter (delivered every Friday) will help you discover awesome programming resources. Just like writing a book boosts my understanding and provides a quick reference about those topics, this newsletter will help me keep track of these resources for my own use as well.

I've been helped a lot by the programming community in my journey as an author. This is one of the ways I wish to give back to the community.

Topics

My programming experience includes working with Linux CLI, Python, Regular Expressions, Vim, etc. The newsletter links will be primarily on these topics, but I'll sometimes include other programming resources as well.

Here are the section headings:

• Article of the week
• Resources
• Free Programming Books
• Tools
• Curiosity Corner

Both current and past resources will be considered. You can expect around 10 links per issue.

Testimonials

Always a pleasure to read, with resources & tools, a nice tip; helpful to understand stuff and to learn (better) programming. And if all else fails (it never does): check the Curiosity Corner. — feedback via twitter

I just wanted to write in and say how much I appreciate this newsletter. I always forget that I'm signed up, ironically, but then every Friday I just get all these amazing resources to check out during a lazy afternoon and I always learn something new — feedback via email

Always a great read in my inbox every Friday - a collection of useful resources and interesting articles. — feedback via twitter

Carbon and Flameshot are both amazing tools and I can't believe I'm just now finding out about them. The 'Tools' section alone was worth the price of admission. :) — feedback via email

I just want to let you know that I find this e-mail highly valuable, and due to its length, I don't have to defer reading it. Perhaps, one day, I will launch a similar newsletter; therefore, you give me a lot of inspiration. :) — feedback via email

I’ve really been enjoying your posts.  The resources have been most helpful.  Thank you for all the hard work you’ve put in.  I use your regex books as one of my main reference/learning sources. — feedback via email

That is super useful content! I had a lot of fun reading about DevOps in Minecraft. Apart from it, I spent some more time with Python builtins, and it is cool to know that something like PyFlow and vprof exist :) — feedback via email
