Twitter University
Building a culture of learning for @TwitterEng and the world at large through videos, code samples, and more.
Open Source
Twitter engineers use, contribute to and release a lot of open source software. We share what we learn with the greater community via the @TwitterOSS office.
Research
Twitter encourages publication through scientific bodies and industry standards groups. We also have a strong open source culture to share our research widely.
