Personal Technology blog

First, I’d like to recommend some good personal technology blogs.

  • Coding Horror, founded in 2004 by Jeff Atwood, is a blog that Chronicles his experiences in software development. To this day, the blog is visited by nearly 100,000 people a day, with readers contributing comments and a constant clash of ideas and wisdom. A selection of his posts has been translated in China as “Training for Effective Programmers” and has a score of 8.3 on Douban. In 2008, he and Joel Spolsky co-founded StackOverflow, a q&A site that saved programmers a lot of time when developing software, and started “StackOverflow Copy + Paste programming.”
  • Joel on Software, Joel Spolsky’s blog has many readers and fans all over the world. A selection of his blog posts has been translated into “Reflections on Software” in China and has a score of 8.7 on Douban. This is a collection of essays on software technology, talent, entrepreneurship and business management. The author presents his personal insights into the software industry in a humorous way. His views are fresh and unique, concise and practical.

    There are a lot of good blogs out there, but right now all the good ones abroad are in a place calledMediumI also find myself coming to this site when I do a lot of Googling. The content on this site is not only technical, but also many, many other aspects, such as culture, art, science and so on. The site is a blog publishing system created by Twitter co-founders Evan Clark Williams and Christopher Isaac Biz Stone, The two men felt that Twitter was full of junk and unnourishing information. So Medium was created, a platform for professional and non-professional contributors as well as hired editors.



    I already feel that Medium is going to be the place where quality writing is going to be in the future, because some of the company’s tech blogs are there, like Netflix’s. So, you need to follow authors, columns, and topics on this platform.

The paper

If you want to study the technology in depth, the paper is essential. So how do you read a paper?

How to Read a paper

Here are a few articles that will give you some tips on how to read papers.

  • How to read an academic article
  • Advice on reading academic papers
  • How to read and understand a scientific paper
  • Should I Read Papers?
  • The Refreshingly Rewarding Realm of Research Papers

Distribution center for papers

To grow into an expert, you have to read essays. Here are some very good computer papers centers.

  • 2 Minute Papers, a YouTube channel that gives you a great introduction to some of the most interesting computer science breakthroughs in about two minutes at a time.
  • Best Paper Awards in Computer Science, a collection of award-winning papers in Computer Science since 1996.
  • Google Scholar (English: Google Scholar) is a free online search engine for academic articles. It was developed by computer expert Anurag Acharya. In November 2004, Google first released a trial version of Google Academic. The index includes most of the world’s published academic journals.
  • Facebook, the thesis of Facebook Inc.
  • Research at Google, Google publishes some papers.
  • Microsoft Research, papers published by Microsoft.
  • MIT’s Artificial Intelligence Lab Publications, MIT and Artificial Intelligence Publications.
  • MIT’s Distributed System’s Reading Group, MIT and Distributed Systems.
  • arXiv Paper RepositoryArXiv is a collection of preprints of papers in physics, mathematics, computer science, and biology that began on August 14, 1991. As of October 2008, arXiv.org has collected more than 500,000 preprints. By the end of 2014, the collection reached 1 million.



    In 2014, it was adding about 8,000 a month. The existence of the arXiv is one of the factors that created the so-called open access movement in scientific publishing. Some mathematicians and scientists today routinely upload their papers to arXiv.org before submitting them to professional journals. This trend has caused considerable impact on the business model of traditional academic journals.

  • SciRate, there are so many papers on arXiv that SciRate indexes some of the most popular papers on arXiv for comments and ratings. (Open source.)
  • Cat-v.org, this site, not just papers, but also technical manuals or interesting articles, including historical sources and so on.
  • Usenix: Best Papers, the Best paper recommended on Usenix.
  • The Morning Paper, which posts a Paper every day, is great.
  • Lobste. Rs Tagged as PDF, Lobsters is a community focused on technology, mainly link aggregation and discussion of topics. The PDF category can also be considered as a hub for papers.
  • Papers We Love, a nearly 30,000-star community of computer science Papers on GitHub.

summary

So to sum up what we’ve done today. In this article, I mainly share with you some good learning resources to help you broaden your horizon and lay a solid foundation for your follow-up study.

First, I recommended Coding Horror, Joel on Software, Clean Coder Blog, Martin Fowler, Paul Graham Essays, and many other well-known personal technology blogs. I then shared some of the programming related YouTube channels I subscribed to that I thought were good, such as Coding Tech, Amazon Web Services, Facebook Developers, Google Developer, etc.

Follow the tech blogs of Airbnb, AWS, Cloudera, Dropbox, Facebook, Google, and more to get a sense of their engineering, as well as a sense of technology directions and trends. Finally, if you want to grow into a master, you must read the thesis. So, I’ve put together a great collection of computer papers and recommended learning resources to teach you how to read them.

I have always believed that learning needs to be self-driven, to learn to “find food” for yourself, rather than “wait to be fed”. Programmer training guide 2018 edition has been updated to today, but I think, this is actually just the starting point of technical training, there are a lot of knowledge and technology, we need to continue to explore and discover. Come on, if I can do it, you can do it, too.

Your likes are my motivation to keep sharing good things.

A stupid code farmers, my world can only lifelong learning!
