This is a curated collection of my favorite articles and books on specific topics. These are the resources I usually point to when people ask about getting started on or getting better at the topic in question.

Each collection is designed to be an ever-evolving list as new material is written and new gaps are filled in. If you have an idea for a category for an upcoming Primer Post, let me know here.
