Welcome!

For feedback or suggestions, please send a tweet (@dideler). Gist comments don't notify me. Pull requests aren't possible with gists (yet), so I don't recommend forking because then I can't easily get the change.

Starring this gist will give me an idea of how many people consider this list useful.

  • Organize the unorganized resources

  • Split content into free & paid categories (or at least identify paid resources if not split)
  • Add one-line descriptions to every resource
