Curated Regular Expression Resources

Curated Regular Expression Resources

Regular expression (also abbreviated to regex) really is a powertool any programmer should know. It was and is one of the things I most liked learning, as it provides you with immediate, godlike powers that can speed up your (data science) workflow tenfold.

I’ve covered many regex related topics on this blog already, but thought I’d combine them and others in a nice curated overview — for myself, and for you of course, to use.

If you have any materials you liked, but are missing, please let me know!

GoalKicker: Free Programming Books

This specific link has been on my to-do list for so-long now that I’ve decided to just share it without any further ado.

The people behind GoalKicker, for whatever reason, decided to compile nearly 100 books on different programming languages based on among others StackOverflow entries. Their open access library contains books on languages from Latex to Linux, from Java to JavaScript, from SQL to MySQL, and from C, to C++, C#, and objective-C.

Basically, they host it all. Have a look yourself: https://books.goalkicker.com/
