3. Khan Academy - Great for learning the basics of computer science and programming.
4. Codecademy - Interactive platform for learning coding skills.
5. freeCodeCamp - Free coding lessons and projects to build real-world skills.

"tech" is really broad to give any real depth. It would really differ depending on the role you want to enter - are you a product marketer, growth marketer, sales rep or product manager ?
@caoimhe_murphy What if I just want to learn for fun and to get all the tech jokes?
@udaya_sri I've worked in tech for more than 8 years and I still don't get the tech jokes. It's a constant state of this: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C...
Don’t forget about podcasts like Syntax and Software Engineering Daily perfect for learning on the go and staying updated with the latest trends.
Hi there, I agree with your list. For hands-on practice, Leet Code and HackerRank are excellent for coding challenges and improving problem-solving skills. It’s a great way to apply what you’ve learned
For more in- depth knowledge, consider reading books like 'Clean Code' by Robert C. Martin or following blogs like Medium’s tech section. They provide valuable insights and best practices. 📚
I’d suggest listening to tech podcasts like Techmeme Ride Home and The Changelog. They’re perfect for keeping up with industry news and learning about emerging technologies while on the go.
