A to Z Resources for Students

If you found this repository helpful in discovering new opportunities, don’t keep it to yourself — share it with your friends or batchmates so they can benefit too!

You can also connect with me on LinkedIn — always happy to network and exchange ideas. 🚀

Are you a college student or a working professional looking for resources to learn a new coding language? Are you looking to meet new people in your community or searching for global conferences, hackathons and competitions to attend? If so, you should definitely check this out.

When I was in college, I missed a lot of opportunities like hackathons, conferences, internships, workshops and many global events due to lack of awareness. I don't want the emerging developers to suffer the same as me. Hence, I and a bunch of other developers around have collected a list of resources for students. If you are in college, a college graduate, or just starting out as a developer, you should definitely check it out!
