Notes compiled from freeCodeCamp.org YouTube Playlists and books. All code examples are original summaries for learning purposes.

This the interesting things I have seen in YouTube from freeCodeCamp, YouTube and books — there are other channels like ByteByteGo and Geeks which I am very interested in. Their content and knowledge is excellent.
