Question 1

How can I add a talk to the Awesome Talks list?

Accepted Answer

Submit a pull request on GitHub with the talk formatted like existing entries—include title, speaker, conference, year, and link. The README explicitly welcomes contributions through this method.

Question 2

Is Awesome Talks better than just browsing YouTube for programming talks?

Accepted Answer

Awesome Tales offers pre-vetted, high-quality content that saves time, but YouTube has a larger volume and algorithm-driven suggestions. Choose Awesome Talks for curated insights and YouTube for breadth and recency.

Question 3

What are the best talks for learning functional programming basics?

Accepted Answer

Start with 'Functional Programming: What? Why? When?' by Robert C. Martin or 'Don't fear the Monad' by Brian Beckman from the Functional Programming category. Both are beginner-friendly and highly recommended in the list.

Question 4

How often does the Awesome Talks list get new entries?

Accepted Answer

The maintainer updates it 'whenever I've watched another awesome talk,' but there's no fixed schedule. Community pull requests also add talks, so updates can be irregular.

Question 5

Does Awesome Talks include talks on DevOps or cloud computing?

Accepted Answer

Not directly; categories focus on software development, design, and methodologies. You might find related content under 'Methodologies' or 'Software Design,' but it's not a comprehensive resource for infrastructure topics.

Question 6

Can I use these talks for a study group or workshop?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the curated talks are excellent for group discussions and learning sessions. However, you'll need to manually select and organize them since the list lacks pre-made playlists or syllabi.
