IBM Developer is a global community of coders, developer advocates, and digital resources that help developers learn, build, and connect. The IBM Developer website (previously known as alphaWorks and IBM developerWorks) hosts a wide range of resources, tools, and subject matter expert conversations that help developers build and reinforce the open source, artificial intelligence AI, and cloud-based skills that are needed in hybrid cloud environments.

Overview

With technical articles^[1] and tutorials,^[2] step-by-step learning paths,^[3] instructional videos,^[4] open source code samples,^[5] and online conferences,^[6] IBM Developer provides in-depth technical content focused on:

• Technologies^[7] such as artificial intelligence, containers, and more
• Programming languages^[8] like Java and Node.js
