Add “ Best Scala Tutorials On YouTube” to community page

Added a resource on Scala under "Community-Powered Learning Resources"

This doesn't look like a good resource to me — it's just a handful of links to individual talks? Seems really random

Really appreciate your concern but these links are not randomly picked talks, these are all hands on tutorials where instructor is going through in detail about the Scala concepts. But let me know if you have any suggestions to make them more useful to the readers. I am more than happy to make necessary changes.

I think a curated list of online videos are good to have, only if the community can contribute to the list via GitHub or other content management systems.
Otherwise, such list may not reflect the voices from community, and may be outdated as time passes.

The suggested page seems just a personal blog page collecting random videos, and there seems no way to accept contributions from Scala community.

I suggest to create a dedicated page on scala-lang.org on this repository, instead of personal blogs/sites. So user community can contribute easily.

If that wasn't apparent to me, it probably won't be apparent to other readers, either. The page title, "Best Scala Videos on YouTube", doesn't communicate that.

There's also no indication of how long these videos are and whether it's just a single video or a whole series. Nor am I given any assistance in selecting what video I might want to watch. The titles give some hints of which videos I might want to watch, but this would be more much helpful if there was more indication of what the intended audience of each video is. That's part of what I meant by “random” — for all I know you spent many hours and days selecting these videos and they aren't random at all, but the level of work you put into it isn't made apparent to the reader, isn't used to help the reader.

Thanks for your feedback and your suggestions totally make sense. I have tried to incorporate your suggestions by...

1. Adding more information about each video link
2. Also created a github repo for this blog and added a link to git on Scala page (at the bottom on https://www.nbshare.io/blog/best-scala-videos-on-youtube/) so that users can request any changes or additions.

Let me know what you think.

The addition of descriptive matter to each video is a big step forward 👍

The remaining issues here that I see are:

• The title and URL of the resource remains actively misleading. As I wrote above, "The page title, "Best Scala Videos on YouTube", doesn't communicate" what the page is about. I want to be very clear about this: we are highly unlikely to link from scala-lang.org to any page calling itself "Best Scala Videos", regardless of who wrote it or what's on it. It's a terrible name.
• There isn't anything on the page itself that explains what it's for, what it's about. The title of page can only make a start at communicating that; the top of the page should communicate it fully and clearly.
• You say you added a link to make it clear to contributors how they can submit additions, but I don't even see where that link is. The whole situation with regards to contributions should be abundantly clear on the page itself.

I'm sorry if this seems a bit harsh, but I want to be honest and clear about what it would actually take for this PR to be merged.

Thanks for the valuable feedback.
I have changed the url and title to following...

• https://www.nbshare.io/blog/best-scala-tutorials-on-youtube/ , Best Scala Tutorials On YouTube

• Description about the page has been added to the top.

• Also a link has been added about - "how to contribute" at the top of page.

Page looks good — now this PR needs updating to reflect to the new name and URL

[abhiphull]

Thanks I have submitted the PR again.

Thanks for being so accommodating of feedback :-)
