Sometimes when I get an episode of OCD I arrange videos I like into YouTube playlists. These might be interesting:

• Clean Code Talks ^[1]
  Miško Hevery's series of talks on code quality and testing. Great stuff.
• "Good Stuff" ^[2]
  Talks that didn't fit any other category. Watch Three Beautiful Quicksorts ^[3], Byzantine Agreement ^[4] and The Paradox of Choice ^[5] (the latter not strictly programming related)
• Advanced Topics in Programming Languages ^[6]
  The Google Tech Talk series with the same name. I especially found A Lock-Free concurrent Hash Table ^[7], The Java Memory Model ^[8], Concurrency and Message Passing in Newsqueak ^[9] and Java Puzzlers ^[10] enlightening.
• UI design etc ^[11]
  At least check out Don't Make Me Click ^[12]
• Eclipse development ^[13]
• Agile etc ^[14]
  Don't miss Mary Poppendiecks The role of leadership in software development ^[15]
• Google Test Automation Conference 2008 ^[16]

Also, there's this very enjoyable interview:

• Expert to Expert: Rich Hickey and Brian Beckman - Inside Clojure ^[17]

I wouldn't do a very good job answering if I didn't point you to InfoQ ^[18]. There are some great videos there. Also see these related (bordering on duplicate) SO questions:

• Must-see tech talks/presentations? ^[19]
• Conferences that offer videos for downloading? ^[20]
• What are great programming-related online talks / videos? ^[21]
• Java EE video lectures ^[22]
• Videos about c++ programming? ^[23]
• What are your favorite CS video lectures? ^[24]
• What online, video-based courses are out there? ^[25]
• Are there any online videos lectures about "computer organization and architecture"? ^[26]
• C# Training videos ^[27]
• What is your favorite Open Courseware Class? ^[28]

Though it's not a specific tech lecture on a computer science topic (though there are ample references to VR-related stuff), Randy Pausch's Incredible Last Lecture ^[1] is just so inspiring it's unbelievable. And I'm saying that as a cynic. That really is the very definition of must-see.

[1] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ji5%5FMqicxSo

Abelson and Sussman's 1986 lectures based on the Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs ^[1]. You can download the lectures here ^[2].

[1] http://rads.stackoverflow.com/amzn/click/0262011530
[2] http://groups.csail.mit.edu/mac/classes/6.001/abelson-sussman-lectures/

My favorites are:

• Joshua Bloch - How To Design A Good API and Why it Matters ^[1]
• Scott Berkun: Why Software Sucks ^[2]
• Philip Wadler - Faith, Evolution, and Programming Languages ^[3]
• The Xbox 360 Security System and its Weaknesses ^[4]
• Away with Applications: The Death of the Desktop ^[5]
• JavaScript: The Good Parts ^[6]
• jQuery ^[7]

These are all non-academic, so enjoy!

Twenty Three and a Half Rules of Thumb ^[1] by Jim McCarthy is a must.

Also I recommend Guy Kawasaki's The Art of the Start ^[2].

[1] http://www.mccarthyshow.com/TheMcCarthyShow/TwentyThreeandaHalfRulesofThumb/tabid/808/Default.aspx
[2] http://blog.guykawasaki.com/2006/06/the_art_of_the_.html

TED.com is a great place to watch online presentations. I recommend watching most of the tech stream as well as any others you can find time for.

Specifically I'd watch these two by Clay Shirky:

• Institutions vs. Collaboration: http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/clay_shirky_on_institutions_versus_collaboration.html
• Gin, Television and the Cognitive Surplus: http://blip.tv/play/AbTSFIa8DQ

I always found the TED Talks ^[1] videos immensely interesting. Of note are:

• Will Wright's presentation on Spore ^[2]
• Jeff Han's talk on Multitouch interfaces ^[3]

Both of which are, while not strictly related to programming, immensely affects many ways by which we view user interaction and software development possibilities.

[3] http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/jeff_han_demos_his_breakthrough_touchscreen.html

Paul Graham ^[1]'s Great Hackers ^[2] presentation is definitely a classic and I'd expect especially appealing to Stack Overflow readers.

If you're interested in Microsoft technologies or software development in general than Channel 9 ^[1] has got loads of realy in-depth discussions. Try the following for starters:

• Larry Osterman, here ^[2] and here ^[3] (working at microsoft and Windows sound)
• Raymond Chen ^[4] (Win32)
• Mark Russonvich ^[5], here ^[6] and here ^[7], (sysinternals and windows architecture)
• Anders Hejlsberg ^[8] and the C# design team ^[9] (in-depth look at programming languages)

FLOSS Weekly ^[1] with Leo Laporte and Randal Schwartz is a good ongoing interview series with various Open Source Programmers, Community leaders, Evangelists and business people. Useful to catch a glimpse of things happening outside your general fields of focus.

[1] http://twit.tv/FLOSS

I think most TED ^[1] talks are outstanding. They're not only about programming and software, though. Have a look at those talks tagged "software" ^[2].

[1] http://www.ted.com/
[2] http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/tags/id/102

Growing a Language, by Guy Steele ^[1]

JavaScript: The Good Parts, by Douglas Crockford ^[2]

The "Clean Code Talks" - Google Tech Talks - such as:

The Clean Code Talks -- Unit Testing ^[3]

And, of course: Erlang The Movie! ^[4]

Currently, my favorites:

• Cal Henderson's keynote @ DjangoCon 2008 ^[1] - AKA "why Cal Henderson hates Django"
• Linus Torvalds talks about Git ^[2]

[1] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6Fr65PFqfk
[2] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XpnKHJAok8

Luca's F# talk at PDC2008 ^[1] is a fantastic intro the the language.

[1] http://channel9.msdn.com/pdc2008/TL11/

The Importance of Programming Literacy (PyCon 2007) ^[1]

[1] http://advocacy.python.org/podcasts/pycon/PyCon2007-ProgrammingLiteracy.mp3

Here's a bunch of videos from Google's I/O Session:

https://sites.google.com/site/io/

Ars Digita videos ^[1]

These are academic, but I enjoyed them so much I'm posting it in case someone isn't aware of them yet. Enormously entertaining and instructive. 11 courses and some ancillary material.

From the site:

ArsDigita University was a one-year, intensive post-baccalaureate program in Computer Science based on the undergraduate course of study at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

[1] http://www.archive.org/details/arsdigita

Nobody mentioned khanacademy before. It's not directly programming related, however many of you probably need to understand subjects like linear algebra and trigonometry (at least if u do graphics) Also the lectures are quite good, so check it out :)

http://khanacademy.org/

These talks from Sofware Engineering Radio are good:

• Interview Grady Booch ^[1]
• Interview Guy Steele ^[2]
• Richard Gabriel on Lisp ^[3]

Channel 9 ^[1] from MSDN

[1] http://channel9.msdn.com/

Douglas Crockford — The JavaScript Programming Language ^[1]

[1] http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/theater/

Oh, and Steve Yegge's talk ^[1] on Server-Side Javascript is really interesting, simply because Steve Yegge ^[2] is such a great communicator :-). In reference to Daniel's post - that's a Google I/O talk.

[1] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BttI-y9VzXQ
[2] http://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/

http://parleys.com/ is a very good place to start, check out their app. Download or watch presentations online, very slick!

Cooper ^[1] is a kind of a specific session to agile development, but I really recommend it.

[1] http://www.cooper.com/journal/agile2008/

The Belgian Java User Group - http://www.parleys.com - have a nice library of different Java related presentations made on different Java conventions, like JavaPolis, SpringOne, Devoxx, and so on. Worth to check out if you're interested in different Java solutions and frameworks!

Check this out: http://webcast.berkeley.edu/courses.php

Knuth's Computer Musings ^[1], especially the "Aha" sessions recorded during one semester of his problem solving course.

[1] http://scpd.stanford.edu/knuth/index.jsp

Anything by Herb Sutter is usually good. I've watched his talks on the concurrency revolution, but also his talk here on machine architecture ^[1] is very interesting.

[1] http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4714369049736584770

I enjoy John Carmack's Quakecon Keynotes, in particular the 2007 keynote ^[1]. It's really geeky, but educational if you are into computers, video games and rocket ships.

Lecturefox ^[1] has a huge list of IT related lectures (both video and audio).

If you didn't know about Youtube's EDU directory ^[2] it has a huge amount of online video'd lectures for Universities. The first ones I found:

• MIT ^[3]
• The first internet router ^[4]
• UC Berkley's Java course ^[5] (and a lot of others here)

Unfortunately there's no UK university's on there that I could find.

One other set that I'll add is Steven Skiena's lectures ^[6] (author of the Algorithm Design Manual)

Not Programming Related at all, but one of the most inspirational speeches I have heard:

The Last Lecture ^[1]

Or google "The Last Lecture" to see it on YouTube (YouTube is blocked where I am).

• OSCON 2005 Keynote - Identity 2.0 ^[1] by Dick Hardt: for the content and the AMAZING presentation style.
• The secret to making money online ^[2] by David Heinemeier Hansson (the creator of Rails) at Startup School 08: simply awesome (even if not strictly programming oriented).
