Around 7:00 a.m today. I checked on LinkedIn out of curiousity to see what’s going on. I stumbled on this post where Bassem Dghaidi shared his list of recommended books and channels on YouTube. I know some of what he shared in his list. However, I wanted to share what I find worthy of following. I started writing a comment on his post. However, the list kept growing. Since I live by the rule Scott Henslman once mentioned in his blog. When you write an email, comment to somebody and it becomes longer than it should. Post it as a blog post and share it with him and whoever want that information.
Here is my full list of:
YouTube Channels
I love YouTube. I love visual content. I think, I’m good on holding back on consuming everything though. For YouTube, I only subscribe to channels that meet these criteria:
- Their content interest me obviously.
- Don’t over post.
- Unique style (compared to their category).
With that in mind, I have been following the following channels:
Fireship
You know it. You should follow it.
Isaac Harris-Holt
I have been searching for one of his videos for days. He has a list title “X Language for Impatient Devs.” Great videos about different programming languages.
Recently, he is talking about Gleam the new Functional Programming Language.
No Boilerplate
I subscribed to him for his Rust videos. He has one named “Rust for the Impatient.” Yes, like Isaac. Seems like somone wrote a post about it and he used it as a reference. He talks about other things as well.

When you want to see someone with raw talent. This guy is a dream to be honest. Yes, he uses VS Code and don’t follow best practices. However, he produces Art. Check him out. He is the creator of Motion Canvas.
