Introducing #NeverStop — A new “never-ending” series from Timecampus
UPDATE: The schedule has been updated after receiving feedback from people. New update here: https://youtu.be/MPgacYEXIDg
Often have I wondered, what would happen to all that I have learnt so far (and still learning) if I die tomorrow?
You may say, “That’s too extreme!” But that is what I try to live by with the motto of Timecampus being:
What if Today was your last?
and this is what makes me give as much importance to my time as possible.
Also, I am a firm believer of the fact that:
The day we stop learning is the day we truly start dying
You may wonder, why do I keep talking about death all the time. Now, that’s because that it is death which makes our lives more interesting, adventurous and worth living. While I can speak about death at length, its now the time to introduce you to the first “never-ending” series from Timecampus:
#NeverStop
So named to make us all remember that, you should #NeverStop learning in life and that is why this series is “never-ending” since we will always have a lot of interesting and crazy things to share with all of you. With time, there are always new innovations and discoveries, crazy stuff which can happen in the field of engineering, technology, medical science, sports and what not.
So, what is the series about?
This series is meant to help you in your learning process by guiding you through various technologies, business practices, experiences and everything else that we might want/have to share with you. While that might sound very generic, that is what knowledge is all about.
We share what we know, and you pick what you want

You might say, “Oh! That’s too much to cover in 30 minutes of time!”
You are actually right! This is NOT meant to be a tutorial series. There are loads out there in the internet. Rather, this is meant to be a guide to introduce, share experiences, best/worst practices and also point you to the right references for you to get started off quickly without any issues along with clarifying doubts/questions you might have.
You may ask:
- Is it meant only for developers?
- Are there any pre-requisites?
- How do I start?
- What episodes to attend and what are they about?
- How do I get help?
- Or you might have anything else on top of your mind.
The best way to get it all clarified is to attend the first session (Hello World) where I will be talking about all of these along with a live Q&A where you can ask all the questions you might have about this series.
