These are not in any particular order and I do not watch every single video on their feeds, just the ones that are relevant or seem interesting.

+1 for funfunfunction. MPJ is great!

Although more for beginners: https://www.youtube.com/user/CodeBabes

Okay, couple of things:

The elephant in the room: it's a channel with introductory courses from CodeBabes, a site with the premise that the videos are presented by scantily clad ladies who undress as the material gets more advanced.

But my actual concern is that the presenters have a thick accent and are obviously reading from a script they didn't write themselves. And stupid sex jokes aside, I'm not convinced the educational material is actually any good.

But if you value form over function, I guess this might be interesting.

famous gaming youtuber Quill18 also has a side channel called quill18creates, in which he creates various types of games from scratch. His content is pretty cool! I listen to him at 1.5x speed. His channel is really good if you want to get into game development, especially with the Unity engine.

He's also got a Twitch stream (name: quill18). He mostly plays games but there's Patreon-funded content on the programming side now and then as well - the most memorable was probably him writing a simple tower defense game in an hour.

Glad my channel has helped you guys. I quit my job at Twilio to do this full-time. I'm on a warpath to educate and inspire the shit out of everyone. Human readable link: https://www.youtube.com/c/sirajology (I am Siraj, hi everyone)

Siraj, just watched a few of your video and it's awesome. Can you go a bit slow though? It's way too fast. I am guessing you are of Indian origin, my indian friends are very fast for me as well :-)

Protip: YouTube has a speed setting. Just click the little cogwheel thing and it should be there. I usually use it to bump up slow talks a bit, but I'm assuming it works just as well to slow things down.

Can I nominate myself? I know I'm not very good or very diverse but if you want thousands of lines of vanilla Cowboy PHP I'm your man. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nb93xii7Eis&list=PLVbKN4o8V_...

You should have a separate channel for PHP. I don't think that overlaps well with truck content, but who knows?

You're totally right. I guess I never realized I was going to take the series as far as I have. Thanks for the advice!

Me too. I almost always speed up the video (due to my impatience) on Youtube. I usually find many videos too slow . The downside is that I can't do that in real life, where I want to increase the speed of the speakers at a live conference.

I don't think Siraj's video is too fast. It seems just right for me.
