Published 4 months ago • 1 min read

It's been some time since my regular newsletter update! Wanted to share some of the new content I'm working on, including some new videos on YouTube. My goal is to create a lot more in depth crash courses on software engineering topics. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the new content!

In my newest video we learned all of the most important topics you should know as a software engineer, diving deep into computer hardware and how computers work. This is step one to being a better developer, as all of our software runs on computer hardware. This is the best 30 minute video on computer fundamentals for developers. Enjoy!

Here are the main topics covered in my video:

Beginner Programming
Intermediate Topics
Web Development
Computing Theory
Computer Hardware
- The Motherboard
- RAM
- Storage
- Caching
- GPU
- Processor Cores
- Serial and Parallel Computing
- ARM and x86
In-Memory Data Stores
Server vs Client

Really excited to share this info with you. Let me know if there's anything in this list you'd like to learn more about!

Life Updates

I've been working on my software engineering mentorship for a number of months now, but I have decided for now to bring a lot of my focus back to my roots -> creating top notch tech content on YouTube. I've taken about a 4 month break since posting which was a nice needed break, but now I am amped up and have some great ideas in the pipeline.

Here are some ideas I am considering:

More system design topics such as Message Queues, API gateways, and NoSQL databases.
Building APIs with FastAPI as well as Open API specs.
Or maybe some full stack real time apps with WebSockets.
Data Structures and Algorithms.
