Categorise blogs of developers

List the blogs of developers by the programming language they write for. If they write for more than one, List the directly under the H1 or MISC or others.

YouTube channel removed but the link is still there

Just wanted to let you know that the CodeGeek channel has been removed from YT, or maybe your link isn't the good one because it leads to a deleted channel and there is a channel with this name but without the capital letters, so you may remove or fix the link.

codeproject missing

Is the codeproject website missing，right？

Remove 'Eight things cryptocurrency enthusiasts probably wont tell you'

Why include an overtly negative article about cryptocurrency? That seems entirely off topic.

I like this repository, but it should keep the focus on the core technology, not muddy the landscape with articles that focus on the exploitation of the technology - if you're going to link to pieces like that, you should do the same for web technologies (for example), since there have been plenty of web-based scams.

Cryptocurrencies are a fantastic teaching resource for programmers - they feature lots of great technologies from computer science and maths - cryptography, distributed networks, consensus, to name but a few. They do, however, challenge many of the central tenets of society, such as centralised banks and monetary inflation. Hence, they challenge the establishment. It's not surprising, then, to see the mainstream fire negativity in their direction. You'd be wise to recognise that, and not do the same.

Focus on the technology, just as the rest of your links do.

"Compilers (video) : A set of videos on how the GC works" link broken

The link to the entry named Compilers (video) : A set of videos on how the GC works under the documentaries category is broken

Delete this, github is not a blog

Maybe you could add a real coding project to your "lists-only" account.
Blogger.com is free.

Programming Principles

Nice overview. I saw The Principles of Good Programming. Based on this, I once did Programming Principles (or http://webpro.github.io/programming-principles/). It isn't original, but people may find it a bit easier to scan, there is more structure and other resources. Up to you: ignore/replace/add. Anything goes!

W3Schools

I know it's not as bad as it was. But really compared to say MDN, does it really belong on the list?

Please add command line and shell scripting

I have been frustrated by shell scripting for a long time, those linux commands such as grep, sed, awk are just too difficult to learn, shell scripts look like kind of magic to me.

Barcroft TV link is out of date

We should remove this from the "When you get bored from CS related stuff" section.
Or replace it with this link: https://www.youtube.com/user/barcroftmedia
if that link is to the correct channel.

Multisub Incorrectly Linked

The section everything in one place is not linked correctly to a multi sub as it has 'reddit.com/me/' in, which refers to the current logged in user. It should be something like,

https://www.reddit.com/sdmg15/m/cs_student_subs

But that does not work either, which suggests that it is not your username.

Very bed messages

I received very bed messages in my email from this repository. If happen yet I'll delete my subscription

Link is broken

Link is broken.

Remove youtube channel

Siraj raval's youtube channel must be removed.
He is a scammer and has looted several people.

[LITTLE PROBLEM] In line 203 of README.md

Analyzing the links, I found a ")" randomly in line 203. My OCD couldn't stand and I had to open this "issue" to request the removal. Thanks!

I want to build a better website for it.

A better website will be build after few days.

I want to know if you want to add it to gh-pages?

How about new category "Web Services" (REST API, Web API etc)?

Web APIs can be used in pretty much every language so they are very useful. Here are some collections of APIs I find interesting:

1. https://algorithmia.com/algorithms
   They have a free package with 5000 credits every month. Some API calls require more than 1 credit.

2. http://rest7.com/
   Here all the APIs are free to use. No registration needed (or even possible). No paid plans.

3. https://market.mashape.com/explore
   Some APIs are free, some are paid. Seems they have more functions than the above 2 together but most of the APIs here are paid.

Probably broken link

It seems that https://www.beehyve.io/ under Interview Preparation section can no longer be accessed.

Add table of contents

It would be nice to have a summary or a table of contents at the beginning of the Readme file so that people can have an overview of the categories and find the one they need at a glance. Or if they just want to explore what's in there.

MDN?

Seems like MDN should be on here somewhere for its extensive web/js development documentation, not sure what section would be a best fit though. Happy to PR if there's a consensus.

Validation Links

@sdmg15 I checked most of the PRs failing because of redirect, ssl errors and 404/500 errors.

1. Why can't we add --allow-ssl --allow-redirect in travis.yml.
2. Shall we remove links which return 404/500.

Please let me know I can help with that. 🙂

Dead link

Hi,
https://learn-anything.xyz/ -> dead actually
https://github.com/sdmg15/Best-websites-a-programmer-should-visit/blob/master/vorillaz.github.io/devicons -> 404

it-ebooks.

I'm not 100% convinced it-ebooks.info is a legal website,since it contains copies of copyright books.
I would avoid suggesting it.

Part 1: Giant Brains - unavailable

It's not available in youtube.

Add Link to top (index)

If there is a link to the top (index) at the end of the topic, it will be good to be able to look for another topic.

I am creating

Validate Links

Hello, I wrote a tool that can validate README links. It can be run when someone submits a pull request or pushes a commit to Best-websites-a-programmer-should-visit.

For example, you would see that

http://www.cubrid.org/blog/dev-platform/understanding-jvm-internals/ redirects to
http://www.cubrid.org/blog/understanding-jvm-internals

or

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxjElWL8igo is now 404

For more, see https://gist.github.com/6fe7609f8771156189e432c472a1cf52

This tool is currently being used by

• https://github.com/matteocrippa/awesome-swift
• https://github.com/brabadu/awesome-fonts
• and many more

Examples

• https://travis-ci.org/matteocrippa/awesome-swift/builds/96526196 ok ✅
• https://travis-ci.org/matteocrippa/awesome-swift/builds/96722421 link redirected / rename 🔴
• https://travis-ci.org/dkhamsing/open-source-ios-apps/builds/96763135 bad link / project deleted 🔴
• https://travis-ci.org/dkhamsing/open-source-ios-apps/builds/95754715 dupe 🔴

If you are interested, connect this repo to https://travis-ci.org/ and add a .travis.yml file to the project (you can also use Circle CI or other CI services).

Javascript Planet Account terminated

Javascript Planet : Java script and web development tutorials channel on youtube seems to have been shut down by google.

Google Code has shut down as of 2016

Under open source websites, Google Code is now read only, you cannot add any new projects

item at the wrong place

"Teach Yourself Computer Science" is listed in "documentaries" and in "good articles". I don't think it should be listed in the documentaries section.

Reddit link duplication

Add more "Coding practice for beginners"...

Please add more codding schools like https://dash.generalassemb.ly/, https://www.khanacademy.org/hourofcode, https://codecombat.com/ or even this one https://scratch.mit.edu/.

Removing trailling slash

@sindresorhus hello,
I'm facing this issue with the awesome-lint, please assist me on how to solve it.
thanks.

Add category Jobs & Internships

I would like to work on this

Index, please

It would be nice if there was an index at readme's top.

Hacker News Mailing List?

Unless I am complete off base here (and I'm willing to learn...) Hacker News does not provide a mailing list, although there are others that do, with various degrees of curation.

See Hacker Newsletter.

Due Credits ?

I find many links taken directly from the answer, I wroteon Quora.
Is it true ? If yes, maybe you can mention it in there.

Lot of content is same as mine, even the description of the links.
