Subjects:

For resources, services, apps and domain specific tools that apply for those seeking to add extra letters around their name (B.A., PhD...) look under higher learning. Also more advanced courses may find useful things there.

Awesome things are broken up into Learning and Tools.

Learning includes courses, books, resources, and websites that have a good coverage of the subject. Both resources for teaching with and those for self learning may show up here. Preferably a little bit opinionated and structured so that one can use it to learn independently. References belong in tools. A tutorial for the use of a specific tool belongs under that tool.

Tools contains services, apps, references, and specific tools that help learning whether it is happening in a classroom or independently.
