1. Coursera - Offers beginner courses on coding, data science, and more.
2. Udemy - Provides a wide range of affordable tech courses.
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.
6. TechCrunch- Stay updated on tech news and trends.
7. YouTube Channels - Such as Traversy Media or The Net Ninja for practical tutorials.
8. LinkedIn Learning - Professional courses on various tech topics.
9. Reddit - Subreddits like r/learnprogramming and r/technology for community support and advice.

"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...

Thanks for sharing, Udaya. I’m a programmer myself, so the list looks familiar to me. I definitely recommend Andrew Ng’s AI or Deep Learning courses on Coursera.
@derek_liu_dev Great! I'll check that out. Thankyou!
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.
