resources's Issues

Adding more resources to cheatsheets

Cheatsheets like GraphQL and SASS could be added.

Broken bullet points in cheatSheets.md

The last 7 bullet points in cheatSheets.md are not in the correct syntax of Markdown.

Screenshot

Steps to reproduce

• Open the link - https://zero-to-mastery.github.io/resources/cheatSheets.html
• Scroll down to the last 7 bullet points

Possible fix

Insert a space between the hyphen and text for correct Markdown syntax

I would like to fix this and create a pull request for the same.

Adding an Open Source Category

Hello there! :) I'm thinking of adding an Open Source category to this file. It would be a great tool for coders of all experience levels to find ways to develop their soft skills outside of doing coding tutorials, courses, etc.

Learning Resources

Add a `WebDevCourses.md` file

Can we add a new markdown file to add links to Web Development Courses?

Link needs to be updated in CONTRIBUTORS.md

The link for "How to Contribute to an Open Source Project on GitHub" shows a 404 error. This is the correct/updated link for the site: https://app.egghead.io/playlists/how-to-contribute-to-an-open-source-project-on-github

Web Page

This project could benefit from having its resources turned into a full-on web page.

Add a pull request template

Having a PR template can really help new contributors while raising a PR. With a PR template, new contributors have to worry less about adding proper descriptions to PR and rather focus on actually contributing new resources.

Also, it can help to keep all PRs consistent in the project.

Add a new resource category: API

I'd like to add a new category for my resource: API. In the Web Dev course there is a whole section how to integrate an API to a website i.e Skyscanner. Andrei says it is important to know how to read an API documentation wisely and recognise how to underly principles. This is a link I want to add to this category.
https://scottbarstow.com/apis-how-to-read-and-understand-documentation/

You-Tube channels to learn new Technology

Back Button

When we visit any new page there's no back button available which is not good in context with UI/UX

Suggesting a Testing Category, initial thoughts is to maybe provide links to Cypress or Playwright resources

Add a new category

Request to add a new category for some famous questions and algorithms asked in interview questions related to data structures

Can we please add a license to this project?

I'm just unsure of what specific license we should use for this open source project. But if there is a consensus to implement a specific license, then I or anyone else could do it for you guys in a pinch!

Update Travis CI code

Can some take a look at Travis CI code? we are seeing a lot of failed builds lately I don't know why? earlier @SamirJouni and @DiscoverSquishy worked on that so if any of two can help us again that would be great.

Should we rename moocs .md?

@AvidCoder101 @sophiabrandt should we rename moocs.md to just free online courses or should create section altogether?

Link this repo to zero-to-mastery website

zero-to-mastery website has a resources section. It would be nice if this repo and the one present there could be merged or integrated somehow. I opened a similar issue in that repo. This will help others to look at just one place for all the resources. See this

Should we add a CSS Resources category?

Currently there are a lot of CSS resources in the Web Design Resources. Although related to web design, these resources may fit better in a CSS Resources category.

Microsoft Virtual Academy shut down

Microsoft Virual Academy has been shut down. Its replacement Microsoft Learn is focused on videos about Microsoft proprietary technologies.

[Up for grabs] Angular Resources

There is a file called Angular.md where some kind soul has collected resources related to the JavaScript framework.
The file is not part of the TOC in the Readme.md file.

I suggest adding a link to the file with a short description in README.md, like so:

- [**Algorithms & Data Structures**](AlgorithmsDataStructures.md): Resources for tackling algorithms.

- [**Articles**](DevelopmentArticles.md): General articles page on web development.

For more info, see the guide.

Allthefreestocks link has many broken links

Under Web Design Resources: images & video (the very first resource) has many links that are inoperable. My question is this. Do we keep the master link for the few links that work? Or do we remove that link and add any that were on it that still work? I wonder too if any of the links listed in that one are listed elsewhere. When I have more free time I will go through the links and validate all that work and submit edit suggestions as I see fit. Unless someone else wants to beat me to it.

Hacktoberfest participation

Quick question for the zero-to-mastery maintainers - is this repo no longer participating in Hacktoberfest? I know it's participated in previous years (and I think it was listed as participating as of a few days ago) but it looks like the #hacktoberfest tag has been removed.

Thanks for the clarification!

Back button on "Contributors.md" file

There's no back button when we visit the page "List of contributors"

Extending the list to non-web development resources.

Since these resources are a good one-stop beginners guide for starting their programming journey, why limit the list for web-development!

We can include topics like:

1. Data Analysis, Machine learning and Artificial Intelligence
2. Mobile App development
3. Cloud Computing

Since JS already exists, there can be separate well-curated lists about other programming languages like Python, Rust, Go etc.

Page Build Failed

Need to fix this ASAP.

Broken In-Text Links in CONTRIBUTING.md

The table-of-contents style links in the CONTRIBUTING.md doc were broken due to a double hash (##) in the links. I corrected the syntax to a single hash (#) in a separate branch, which I'll submit a pull request for now.

convert YouTube.md to a webpage

we need to add YouTube.md into index.html so if you can and want help please do it will be appreciated.

Suggestion: Favicon

Minor suggestion: that we include a favicon to the website to give the site a more 'complete' feel, and let the tab look more at home among other tabs in the browser. Would be happy to work on this simple, but I think worthwhile, upgrade.

Add a CONTRIBUTING.md Guideline

As the list of learning resources grows and more people get to use this project, wouldn't it be nice if we had a CONTRIBUTING.md file. This will serve as a guideline, listing out the steps for contributing to this project thus making contributing easier, and encourage developers especially newbies and recent graduates from the ZTM courses to contribute.
I'd be interested to work on this feature if approved. Thank you!

ReadMe corrections don't match live site

I just noticed that someone fixed the grammar issues on the README, but they aren't reflected on the page?

SEO OPTIMIZATION

Any tips to improve SEO and make it more search friendly?

[Up for Grabs/Enhancement]: Add a link to `Contributing_to_GitHub.md` to README

We have a file called Contributing_to_GitHub.md.
I suggest adding a link to that file in the section "Contributing" in README.md

For example, in README.md:

## Contributing

- [Contributing to GitHub](Contributing_to_GitHub.md): blablabla, text

- You are always welcome to contribute to this project, kindly visit our [**Contributors' Guide**](https://github.com/zero-to-mastery/resources/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md) before opening a pull request

// more text

Don't forget to add your name to CONTRIBUTORS.md, too!

Add Database and SQL category

I came looking for resources that would help teach me how to add a database to my website. This category could include resources that discuss database design, database management, SQL, and the database related functions for various programming languages such as JavaScript, Python, and PHP.

Design Tools

Great resources list!

I have been following the Design Tools Survey for several years and it has helped me evolve my front end stack tremendously!

I would like to ad a Design Tools subhead to the WebDesignResources.md list to include the 2021 survey.

Let me know if you think this is a good fit and I will contribute!

Thanks for all the great infos!

Broken video link on AlgorithmsDataStructures.md

The following link doesn't work anymore: Data Structures and algorithms

Game Development Resources

i can include the resources for game development, categorised as websites, documentations, youtube, etc.

Add New category that includes Blockchain and web3 recourses

Business runs on information. The faster it’s received and the more accurate it is, the better. Blockchain(web3) is ideal for delivering that information because it provides immediate, shared and completely transparent information stored on an immutable ledger that can be accessed only by permissioned network members.
I can work on this please assign this to me if you like it

Who added the 404.html?

who added 404.html? most of the files are in markdown and besides what is the point of having one is not linked to anything?

Couple of dead links

CSS Visual Dictionary hyperlink forwards to a potentially malicious spam landing page. I would take a screenshot but that page scares me. Also on the CSS Zen Garden home page, the hyperlink on the top right side bar also references a web page that is unreachable.

Security training resources

New category that includes ethical hacking resources

Help us organize this repo.

To organize this project in such a way so that the user can find the stuff quickly and can navigate through the list easily so if you have some ideas comment down below our aim is to make this beginner guide to web development something similar to this
OSSU
OSSU website

Create Free photo/Images websites under Web design resources
