Description

Some links lead to websites that have since shut down, the blog user was deleted, or even put behind a Paywall.

Some of the Additional Resources have also moved, I have updated their links accordingly.

ScotchIO was acquired by DigitalOcean, and their website is just a hard redirect to their tutorials now. Updated to reflect this and skip the redirect.

Motivation and Context

Among the dead urls, some have been purchased by third parties and now are Phishing sites. This is dangerous for obvious reasons.

How Has This Been Tested?

By visiting every single link manually
