+title: Resources to Learn Programming
+description: Some channels/websites/articles that helped me learn to code.
+---
+
+Here I have compiled some various YouTube channels, videos, articles, websites, 
+and some of my own pages which can be very useful to learn programming. As a self-taught, 
+I'd like to thank every single of these creators for the great content. Very useful.
+
+There are also some code examples or projects on GitHub, etc that I looked at to learn
+how some things worked, along with some recommendations of things you might wanna learn.
+
+These lists are updated somewhat regularly/whenever I learn something new.

+description: Makes it easy to work with databases
+weight: 3

+
+An ORM lets you use an object oriented paradigm to query databases. It's great because it cleans up a lot of your code, and you don't need to be good at SQL to use it.
+ORM libraries save you a lot of time because they do most of the heavylifting themselves.

+title: Static Site Generators
+description: My favourite way of building a website
+weight: 2
+---
+
+Static site generators let you write a template for the website in HTML and let you write the content of the website in another format (markdown, for example)
+and turn it into a HTML page with the given template. 
+I love static site generators because they are easy to use and are very fast since all the HTML files are pre-compiled before you can host them on your server.
+It's better than writing the whole website in HTML because if you want to change the layout of the website, editing all the pages one-by-one would take a long time.
+Whereas in a static site generator, you can just edit the template file and it'll do the job automatically.
+
+For small websites/websites without much/any logic, I recommend using a static site generator. This website is written in Hugo, which is awesome.
