What are the resources that you use to learn more about Atlassian Products?
Asked by Fabian A. Lopez (Community Leader - Argentina, Florida, California):

I am gathering information about resources available for Atlassian product knowledge transferring for a presentation in our local Atlassian User Group.

I want to group them in four categories

From Atlassian - Free (e.g. AUG, Community, You Tube, blogposts, etc.)

From Atlassian - Paid (e.g. University, books, etc.)

From Community - Free (e.g. youTube users channels, blogposts, etc.)

From Community - Paid (e.g. Partners training, books, etc.)

Thanks in advance for your feedback and I hope this page will help those that are looking for some training and knowledge transferring.

Regards,

Fabian Lopez

I really love the microsites offered by Atlassian; not sure if there's an official list of all these somewhere but I have benefitted from all of these (general interest, not just product-specific):

* [Git](https://www.atlassian.com/git)
* [Project Management](https://www.atlassian.com/project-management)
* [Agile Coach](https://www.atlassian.com/agile) microsite(s) - tons to dig in to here!

* Some of the [offerings from Atlassian University](https://training.atlassian.com/self-paced-tutorials/try-it)
* If you are already Atlassian certified, the [Skills courses are free](https://training.atlassian.com/skill-builders)
* The [webinars are all free](https://www.atlassian.com/webinars) and helpful if you're interested in a particular product

For non-beginner content, the product release notes are always helpful! There's a rollup up all the latest product releases with links in to the release notes at <https://iapetus.fyi> (the release notes are Atlassian-provided, but that rollup site is third-party)

**From Atlassian - paid**

I've heard that the exam prep materials are decent. The online courses seem to be well received as well. No personal experience with either though.

**Community - free**

* Subscribe to articles in your favorite collection here on Community
* Ask questions at an AUG - chances are somebody in your area has worked with the product you need help with even if it isn't your AUG Leader

**Community - paid**

* Jira Strategy Admin Workbook has been the most useful to me, but [there are several excellent community-authored books available](https://amzn.to/2GYbou0)

body: As always, your answer is great. Thanks for sharing!!!!


author: Davin Studer
body: Community articles are a great way. You may not find that the article is 100% for you, but often times you will get a nugget of valuable info that you can use elsewhere.


author: Fabian A. Lopez (Community Leader - Argentina, Florida, California)
body: I agree, same with the Atlassian microsites and blogposts


author: Mirek
body: When you want to watch or read about something there are plan of resources that you can find. The problem starts when you want to play a little bit with Atlassian products. Where to find a sandbox? How easily set up whole environment and in practice learn more how everything is working.  

For many years Atlassian Dragon Slayer was very useful. Game it is still available.. Unfortunately it is completely out of date since you would need to install a EOL versions (e.g JIRA 6.x). I posted a discussion about this but there was not too much of discussion really (<https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-discussions/Here-Be-Dragons-should-be-updated-or-not/m-p/749477#M2688>) . I would really like to see this game updated, but probably it will not be.. sadly..

body: Good News. I got confirmation that I will be presenting this topic at the upcoming Atlassian Barcelona Summit, so if you develop training or knowledge sharing, please let me know.

I want to be sure that those attending to the presentation will have a lot of resources of all types so they can decide what to consume. My goal is to be objective and comprehensive, but all help on this will be beneficial for the whole Atlassian ecosystem so feel free to chime in

All information gathered will be shared on AUG meetings an blogposts as well. Thanks for your help

Regards

Fabian

author: Mike Rink
body: Hi Fabian! Atlassian Solutions partners are a great source of Atlassian Product knowledge. Some of them, like Valiantys and //Seibert/Media (among others), offer regular free webinars that seek to inform attendees about Atlassian products. As well, many Parters host "Atlassian Days" throughout the year, a number of which are free to attend and likewise contain a lot of useful information; we've attended all of Deiser's Enterprise Days, and the Atlassian content is always top-notch.

comments: author: Fabian A. Lopez (Community Leader - Argentina, Florida, California)
body: Wonderful. I really appreciate that and I will add that to the presentation.

Is there a place in the community where we collect all the Atlassian related events, that should be very good resource for users around the world and it could be organized by region or country, or global in the case of webinars (probably by language or timezone ....)

A community calendar were we all can post upcoming events (free should be ideal so we don't overload it

[@Monique vdB](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/786286) [@Erica Moss](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1124559) i think this is a good idea for the comunnity wish list ;)

author: Fabian A. Lopez (Community Leader - Argentina, Florida, California)
body: I remember those days... I hope they create something similar for the new versions of the products


author: Davin Studer
body: Well, since there are so many good suggestions here can I post the link to this page?

<https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/What-are-the-resources-that-you-use-to-learn-more-about/qaq-p/804638>

Or would that create a feedback loop that will destroy the universe?

body: Haha, I tested and the Universe is still ok. Thanks a lot!
