If you want to have a deeper understanding of the subject and are willing to invest half an hour to appreciate it, I strongly recommend the following video:

[ElixirConf 2016 - String Theory by Nathan Long & James Edward Gray II](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZxBL-lV9uA&t=865s)

Really useful, really interesting, loved every minute of it.
