resources 
After finishing a coding bootcamp, I found myself a bit overwhelmed with the numerous resources and time now available to dive into other topics beyond web development. While there are many blog posts about starting to code, what about next steps? To me, there are the following broad subject areas that likely overlap:
- Mobile Development (iOS, Android, Hybrid)
- Cloud Development (AWS, Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure)
- Cybersecurity - Cybrary and OWASP are resources that I have yet to try out but have often seen.
- Data Science (Python, R, Hadoop)
- Machine Learning (TensorFlow, Keras)
- Blockchain (Ethereum, Ripple, Hyperledger)
- Virtual Reality (Unity, Unreal Engine, CryEngine)
- Video Games - Unity is also popular in this area
Two subscription-based services with free trails available that I have gotten into are Pluralsight and A Cloud Guru.
Pluralsight also owns Code School, which was my first go-to when self-studying before bootcamp enrollment. Pluralsight offers more video courses on a variety of IT and development areas. It’s great to get detailed step-by-step information on intermediate and advance topics.
A Cloud Guru has many dedicated video courses to AWS, responsible for most of the cloud industry, and other platforms. AWS certification is highly valuable and certainly draws a considerable audience to A Cloud Guru.
Both of these resources do have some quizzes or exercises but online videos are its bread and butter. As someone who is a huge visual learner, I wanted to share these resources that go beyond web development.
