  I'm going to use this opportunity to list some relatively unknown yet excellent software dev related channels that I've come across over the years.

  * Derek Banas (https://www.youtube.com/user/derekbanas): staggering amount of content on a huge variety of programming topics; tutorial-style; this guy is so productive it scares me sometimes :(

  * Mark Lewis (https://www.youtube.com/user/DrMarkCLewis): CS professor; lots of videos on general CS, functional programming; focus on Scala

  * VoidRealms (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYP0nk48grsMwO3iL8YaAKA): excellent C++-focused content, great Qt series

  * mathematicalmonk (https://www.youtube.com/user/mathematicalmonk): great ML and probability videos

  * mycodeschool (https://www.youtube.com/user/mycodeschool): general CS, algorithms, data structures

  * HandmadeHero (https://www.youtube.com/user/handmadeheroarchive): excellent series by Casey Muratori that explains a huge number of topics related to game dev, gfx programming; has a really long series of videos documenting how he's building an indie game from the ground up i.e. custom engine

  I will update once I think of others :)

• by petercooper on 10/13/16, 6:38 PM

  https://www.youtube.com/bisqwit is by far my favorite and I've spent many hours watching him.

  He does things like create a Doom-style engine from scratch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQYsFshbkYw .. create a NES emulator: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y71lli8MS8s .. work back from a C++17 example to show why new C++ standards are needed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrwwa68JXNk .. and even building a Tetris clone in GW-BASIC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDnypVoQcPw .. Right now, he's doing a series on cracking 80s videogame passwords: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzLzYGEbdY5nEFQsxzFan...

  Sirajology - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWN3xxRkmTPmbKwht9FuE5A - is another interesting one. He moves a bit too quickly for me, but does things like explain machine learning in 5 minutes or how to generate music with systems like Tensorflow.

• by makenova on 10/13/16, 6:30 PM

  I'm a bit of a David Beazley fanboy and Python lover. I've watched all of his keynotes and lectures at this point and I have yet to find one that wasn't incredibly informative. You can watch the video for whatever the main topic is about, but finish the talk having picked up a wealth of other bits of useful information.

  In addition, I have incredible amounts of respect for people that are willing (and capable) to live code what they're teaching. For one of the best examples of how to effectively live code, look no further than when he implemented a concurrent system from scratch at PyCon 2015: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCs5OvhV9S4

  Channel (with some of his videos): https://www.youtube.com/user/dabeazllc

• by GrumpyCoder on 10/13/16, 9:11 PM

  As a newbie gamedev. found these channels helpful.

  Coding Math (https://www.youtube.com/user/codingmath): covers all the math you need for games and each ep. have code examples.

  Bisqwit (https://www.youtube.com/user/Bisqwit): c++, emulators and other cool stuff even his setup is interesting(dosbox+his own editor).

  ThinMatrix (https://www.youtube.com/user/ThinMatrix): his videos on VAO and VBO were a savior for me when learning opengl.

  Daniel Shiffman (https://www.youtube.com/user/shiffman/): his videos are quite beginner friendly explains whole process of creating classic games like snake or creating art with code like fractal trees.

  Vittorio Romeo: (https://www.youtube.com/user/SuperVictorius): walks you thru all modern c++ features by creating a game with them.

• by TimSchumann on 10/13/16, 8:08 PM

  Can't believe this hasn't been mentioned yet, so I'm gonna throw it out there. Gary Bernhardt of Destroy All Software.

  Access to the videos costs $29/month but is well worth it IMO. He covers a very wide range of topics from beginner to advanced. To sum things up in a few words -- his content is focused on a general understanding of computer science and puts concepts, abstractions, and methodologies before any specific program, tool, or programming language.

  https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/screencasts/catalog

  Look at the episode titles for a better idea of what I'm getting at, there's literally something for everyone.

  He's also started streaming on twitch occasionally.

  Coding a game engine from scratch, but don't think it's just about games. The techniques covered range from beginner to highly advanced and programmers in any field, at any skill level, can learn a lot. For example, check out the live editing/reloading for C code in Week 5. https://hero.handmade.network/episodes

  Google Developers: https://www.youtube.com/user/GoogleDevelopers

  Oreilly - https://www.youtube.com/user/OreillyMedia/videos -> Need to look at playlists to find really relevant ones. But good videos on AI, microservices and software architecture

• by felixangell1024 on 10/13/16, 6:46 PM

  I've been enjoying Jon Blow's (creator of Braid & The Witness) programming language talks and demos. He's making a new programming language for games, and it's very interesting to watch. I think he's even hired a developer to work on the compiler.

  Not so much programming techniques or best-practices, but I've really enjoyed watching Computer Science and Math-related lectures on MIT Opencourseware's channel. I highly recommend that one.

  If you're trying to re-learn math (and probably going the Khan Academy route) then I highly recommend checking out PatrickJMT's channel. He produces simple, but excellent mathematical videos in a style similar to tutoring (which is how he started doing the videos in the first place). I actually find his style to be much more engaging than Khan (nothing against Khan of course).

  I was preparing for interviews and came across Tushar Roy's channel:

  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZLJf_R2sWyUtXSKiKlyvAw

  I really like the way he provides most simplistic explanations to the algorithm problems. Really helpful if you are preparing for an interview.

  If you like physics and want some really good explanations to simple questions, you can check Derek Mueller's channel(Veritasium) on youtube. He is a physicist and has some really good videos. I especially like his video on " Most radioactive places on earth" and a separate video on Chernobyl. Also, check his video on Uranium : Twisting the dragon's tail : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cO57Zm-WNmg

• by MadWombat on 10/14/16, 3:09 AM

  I do not, in fact, have a favorite YT channel for developers. I hate with a fiery passion the recent fad of making everything that is supposed to be text, maybe text with a few pictures into a video. You cannot search a video. You cannot skim a video. You cannot copy and paste code sample from a video. You cannot watch it offline as easily as you can read a page.

• by sooheon on 10/14/16, 5:10 AM

  Brian Will (https://www.youtube.com/user/briantwill/videos). I came into his channel from looking at his Clojure videos, but he has many other videos on other languages, basic (but easily misunderstood) programming concepts, and opinionated and educational videos on general programming paradigms.

• by pbhowmic on 10/13/16, 6:22 PM

  It depends on what I am trying to improve on. Currently it is the CMU Database Group https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHnBsf2rH-K7pn09rb3qvkA because I have never taken any DB courses in school and I felt the need to shore up my skills there.

  I receive notifications for certain channels while I'm at work - later at home, I have no idea how to watch "most interesting stuff from the last days" in a easy way. Then I go open channels manually! Come on!

  They can easily improve and win the TV and Netflix on the living room... all the creative content is there. Show me some sort of auto generated playlist with the new content from channels I'm subscribed and that are trending.

  Not Youtube, but /r/watchpeoplecode has some great videos, often from Twitch: https://www.reddit.com/r/WatchPeopleCode/

  Next Day Video has some great talks: https://www.youtube.com/user/NextDayVideo/videos

  Not coding, VPRO from the Netherlands (English language) has some great "hacker" interest documentaries, e.g. the future of renewable energy, growing vegetables under LEDs or high frequency traders: https://www.youtube.com/user/VPROinternational/videos
