Tech Study
I have this repository since 2017. I always had this collections of resources to give “tips” and “directions” to people I was mentoring/coaching. This book it’s a Recipies book. It’s has a colection of resources to help people to get better. It’s a cookbook of self-improvement for tech professionals.
Tech Support Guidance and tips - Since 2017. Online Book
Disclaimer
I have had this repository since 2017. There are no proprietary materials from past or future employers. I have been doing coaching/mentorship with tech professionals for decades. Here you will find links to coding problems, books, tech, what to learn, and my take on several things, alongside links to my books and my blogs.

How to use this gist?
This gist contains lists of resources about JS, Mobile, Architecture/DevOps and Cloud Native. Each gist has a list
of technologies that you can do POC and CODE practice, also with a list of useful books and links.
Method
- Create a github repository called sandbox-
- Code every week some POC or feature impl of each technology on the lsit.
- You should be reading one book at the time. You need make notes from your readings.
- Reading 10 pages per week is progress, you should push your self to read some pages everyweek.
- After reading and coding for some time about a specific subject lets say Automation/Ansible consider doing a LT.
- You need to understand what you are coding, ask for code review.
- You need make sure you got concepts right, validate with more experienced engineers.
- Progress is best tracked in Weekly Coaching Sessions.
- Balance is always welcome. You might use the Breath/Deepth method where 90% time invested on main topic and 10% on random.
- No matter your specific field like JS or CN you should read all this book: Agile Dev Resources
JS
Mobile
Cloud Native
Software Architecture | DevOps Engineering
GCP
POC Ideas
- Get all language/framework/lib features and do some simple code.
- Most of technical books have sample codes and excercis you can use for POC.
- Look for a problem in your project or company or something you could improve.
- 99 Problems
- Dojo Puzzle
- Create a simple version(smaller scale) of:
-
-
-
- Netflix
-
- Flickr
-
- Slack
-
- GitHub
