About Professional Programming
Professional Programming is an open source GitHub repository that collects learning resources for software engineers. It is organized as a Markdown list with a table of contents that groups material into Books, Articles, Courses, and a long list of topics, including databases, testing, system design, version control, interviewing, and career growth. Some entries are marked as must-read, and items are tagged by type such as book, video, slides, or paper.
The list is curated by its maintainer, who says it includes only resources they found inspiring or considered timeless, and it is kept deliberately short rather than comprehensive. The repository also contains supporting folders for cheatsheets, antipatterns, a glossary, and notes on feature flags. Pricing is unknown from the source, and the repository is open source.
