I’m a big fan of audio learning, and of course there are tons of great, free, dev podcasts but did you know that there are quite a few great audiobooks for devs as well?
I’ve been a subscriber to Audible.com (and yes, these are affiliate links below) for a long time, but they have only recently started adding the types of programming books that I liked to read.

I’m proud to say I’m 6.5/7 through the list already and I’ve got the next one already on deck!
