Intro to Computing - Latest YouTube Video After 4 Months Missing


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!

Hi, it's Caleb from CodeBreakthrough! If you'd like to unsubscribe from the newsletter, unsubscribe here.

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!

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.

What would you like to see? Reply to this email and maybe we can make it happen!
