If a Career in Tech Is Right for You Our quick and easy quiz will help you pinpoint exactly how to get started in tech, in hardly any time at all. When I started learning to code, the options were limited—lots of books (not even e-books), some very basic online tutorials, and a whole lot of experimentation. Online learning has come a long way in the last few years. There are interactive courses, tons of online tutorials, and one of my personal favorite ways to practice coding: games. While a game alone probably isn’t going to teach you everything you need to know about coding, it can be a really incredible way to practice the skills you’re learning.

I’ve tried out some of the most entertaining and useful games for learning to code. CodeMonkey CodeMonkey teaches coding using CoffeeScript, a real programming language, to teach you to build your own games in HTML5.

Last month, we published a piece providing a basic template for a bachelor’s level computer science curriculum composed entirely from college or university courses that are freely available online.

: Online Learning: An Intensive Bachelor's Level Computer Science Program Curriculum, Part II

To date, this has been the most popular post on the blog, and we received a ton of great feedback, both positive and negative, in the comments and from around the web. The original post was based on a learning plan that I had worked out for myself after I jumped into the study of programming and computer science just over a year ago on something of a whim. As I’ve mentioned before, I do not have any formal background in computer science beyond the handful of courses from this list that I have worked through myself. However, I do have years of experience in teaching and in curriculum design for natural and foreign language acquisition at the college level, and consulted the computer science curricula from a number of universities around the country when putting the plan together.

15 Sites for Programming Exercises

Programming exercises are a useful tool to practice and improve your coding skills. After all, practice makes one, if not perfect, at least pretty darn good. (Yes, I know competitive programming differs from real-world programming.) Below is a list of high-quality sites for programming exercises. This is not a comprehensive list since there are countless sites dedicated to coding exercises. Nevertheless, these 12 sites alone could keep you busy for quite a while. These three are not full-blown automated judge sites or competitive sites, but they are certainly worth mentioning as valuable resources for problem and project ideas. Get more stuff like this.

Devschool - ASP.NET, SQL, HTML 5, HTML5, CSS, CSS3, Javascript, Mobile - מדריך וקורס. UnderWarrior Project - מדריכים - תיכנות, בניית אתרים, קידום אתרים ואבטחת מידע. Algorithms Course. This course teaches the design of algorithms according to methodology and application.

Algorithms Course

Methodologies include: divide and conquer, dynamic programming, and greedy strategies. Applications involve: sorting, ordering and searching, graph algorithms, geometric algorithms, mathematical (number theory, algebra and linear algebra) algorithms, and string matching algorithms. Analysis of algorithms is studied - worst case, average case, and amortized - with an emphasis on the close connection between the time complexity of an algorithm and the underlying data structures. NP-Completeness theory is examined along with methods of coping with intractability, such as approximation and probabilistic algorithms.

Algorithms. Algorithms I just finished a fantastic book called "Algorithms", by Sanjoy Dasgupta, Christos Papadimitriou and Umesh Vazirani.

Algorithms

Even better: this book is free and can be downloaded in PDF form. At 300+ pages, it's not lightweight either, but the authors have done a fantastic job at explaining the main foundations of essential algorithms in simple terms that even developer who don't have a CS degree will find easy to read and to absorb. You will see a few mathematics formulas and proofs here and there, but you can safely skip them if you are not comfortable with them and just take away the very natural and friendly wordings that the authors never omit to make when they are trying to get you to understand the overall idea behind an algorithm.
