Useful learning resources and all other random resources that does not have its own topic page goes here under various sub-section titles. Topical learning resources, for example, code that is not a package, interesting code snippets, etc...will be listed here but specific resources, say, a "Julia for Statistics" tutorial would be listed on the Statistics page.
