Congrats on posting! This is pretty cool, saved/upvoted. Are you picking the crash course videos yourself, or do you have some sort of scraping/quality algorithm that is doing this for you? What's next on your roadmap for this?

@som_mohapatra1 Thank you, Som! It took a while to compile these (doing it manually myself for each skill, using my experience in the tech industry and double checking with some very technical friends of mine). Next is to get more feedback to see what people really think about it, monitor usage, and see if the market "pulls" me in a particular direction. For example, maybe it will really take off with Analysts (but not Marketers), and so on.

1 point by nandreev 17 minutes ago | edit | delete [–] OK, so it's not quite a complete learning platform. I've only covered the most popular resume keywords here. The idea was to find the best YouTube crash courses for every "hot" tech skill. "Best" is subjective, so I had to rely on video popularity, viewer feedback, and my own watch experience to gauge how effective each one is. This is for folks that: - Want to quickly refresh their skills - Want a preview of a technical topic before investing lots of time and money into it - Have an interview in 30 minutes and desperately need something, anything The goal is to get people hooked on a subject - give them a basic overview of what's going on, then lure them in with increasingly more complicated tutorials. All possible thanks to the YouTube instructors who are kind enough to put up amazing content for free.
