## Introduction

Most of my programming knowledge comes from the internet. From StackOverflow questions to articles to YouTube tutorials, the internet has so many free resources any developer can benefit from. One can learn an entire language by simply trying things out and Googling the rest. Once you've seen the solution enough times and begin to understand the solutions, you can quickly become a professional developer in any topic.

When looking for a quick solution or the correct syntax for writing something, sites like StackOverflow, W3Schools, GeeksForGeeks, and others are straight to the point and very helpful. When starting something completely new or when I need more details, I go to YouTube. I've used YouTube tutorials to learn Node.js and Express, C++, and much more.

After 10 years of programming experience, I decided to start my own channel, [Jonah Lawrence • Dev Pro Tips](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCipSxT7a3rn81vGLw9lqRkg) to give back to the community and help others where I have struggled.

Below are 8 YouTubers I think every developer can benefit from:
