About Eli5Dev

Eli5Dev (Explain Like I'm 5 for Developers) is a resource designed to help new developers understand complex technical concepts through simple analogies and explanations.

Our goal is to break down learning barriers by explaining technical concepts in a way that's easy to grasp, even for those just starting their journey in the development world.


Why "Explain like I'm 5"?

"Explain Like I'm 5" (ELI5) is a concept centered around explaining complex topics in such a simple way that even a child could understand. In the tech world, jargon and abstract concepts can be overwhelming for beginners. Using the ELI5 approach, we aim to make these concepts more accessible through:


  • Simple, clear explanations without unnecessary jargon
  • Relatable analogies connecting technical terms to everyday concepts
  • Practical examples demonstrating the concepts in action
