Would be interesting to see how many people do personal development courses, either work-related or for personal skill-building/hobbies etc?
Would be nice to share platforms and resources too. I mainly use Udemy, although I've tried out Coursera and Pluralsight in the past too. YouTube surprisingly has a lot of great material too (although a lot of the tech courses seem to take place in mythical bug-free universes  ) |

If I want to know or understand something, I read and research. I usually start at the library or scour book shops for the topics I'm interested in. There's certain websites I know I can rely on the information too.

Could you start a small library from your book collection?"
I refuse to comment on the grounds it might incriminate me. Like a mobster. (Or someone who bathes in spray tan. Beautiful spray tan. And has recently been searched by the rogue democrats) |

You can't beat books. My biggest issue is storage space

Recently I started reviewing tech books. The publisher sends you a preview copy which you read and then publicly comment on. Forced me to get my arse in gear to start learning again. |

I treat most fiction as hiring entertainment. After I've read it, unless it's particularly meaningful, it goes to a charity shop.
I keep most non fiction but I'm also open to donating it if it doesn't work for me. |

I could start a large library from my book collection... |

Do you get paid for that, or just get to keep the books? |

Google has a number of free courses covering a quite a few subjects. Just search Google online courses. Some are basic, but are an entry point to allow you to continue on the learning journey. |
