As a junior web developer in the industry, one of my biggest challenges was to find the right resources to use and learn. Besides as a beginner, you need to stay sharp and up-to-date and learn by watching live code examples.

And this is where YouTube comes into the game. YouTube is a video sharing service where users can watch, like, share, comment and upload their videos.

Apart from YouTube, there are online platforms that have courses which do the same thing and you can buy or watch and learn. The only negative in this - in my opinion - is that not everyone has the stamina to buy or watch a 35hrs course video that it may outdated in a few months.

Back to the topic, here is the list of the content creators who will help you learn and move your career to the next level.

### **1. Wes Bos**

_Wes Bos_ create tutorials that will improve your skills in web development. He also has a playlist named `javascript 30` on which he built 30 different javascript projects.

### **2. freeCodeCamp**

_freeCodeCamp_ is an open-source community of people who learn to code and build projects for nonprofits. Awesome right? The channel has an enormous number of tutorials that take the shape of an online course due to the length of the videos. Every video has a different tutor and different perspective of coding.
