When I started as a software developer five years back, I had no clue where or whom to reach for improving my skills. The truth is we have the needed information available online. All we need to do is learn how to access those resources effortlessly.

Over these years, I’ve come to know about some developers who are helping the community. They are really good at their jobs and could teach us a lot of things.
