What is very apparent as a software developer or really anyone wanting a career in IT is that you are going to be lifelong learner and that skills and knowledge you acquired yesterday may not be relevant tomorrow. So, I like to try and learn as much as I can every month. Below are a number of links to Online Video and Podcasts of learning material I have found helpful and I hope you find it interesting and useful.

Gareth Southgate: How to Lead with Toto Wolff ⚽ - Apologies to overseas readers, who may not be able to access this, but for a number of years I have been intrigued with the role of the Football Manager and Gareth Southgate's story is one that does fascinate. Here he talks with Mercedes F1 boss Toto Wolff on Leadership and managing a winning team.

Learning Rxjs (Bonnie Jean Brennan) - A really nice course on Linkedin. I enjoyed Bonnies's presentation style. My only minor criticism is the course could really do with a content refresh as a lot of the examples did not work with Angular 12 and I had to use other sites e.g. https://www.learnrxjs.io/ to convert the examples.
