Useful sites to begin programming

[sh4d0w_w4tch]

Here are a list of sites that are helpful to begin learning programming and to look up information as you get more experienced.

www.codecademy.com #Not recommended by other users
This one has interactive tutorials to teach common scripting languages.

http://www.tutorialspoint.com/computer_programming_tutorials.htm
Tutorials Point has guides on most common languages and they cover SQL under the databases section.

http://stackoverflow.com/
Stack Overflow is a question and answer site for programming.  You can search through existing questions for your problem, and often somebody has already answered it.  If you have a unique problem then you can ask a new question.

If you post any new sites below I can add them here and give you credit for sharing.

1.) Codecademy sucks. I won't recommend to any beginner.
2.) Tutorialpoint is quite good but it really lacks the essential theory behind the shit and doesn't tell how the things really work under the hood. It's good if you want to have a quick reference.

I don't have much experience with CA, but some people IRL have recommended it.  I typically use TP in the same way.  Stack Overflow is pretty good only it doesn't really teach anything.  It is very helpful for resolving common errors.

Wait, you recommended resources you haven't used yourself?

[sh4d0w_w4tch]

I've used it for a few languages.

Must we know a good amount of  math to be good at coding?  I did code Academy for a time but I got bored and slightly scared off when I found out I need math to be a programmer.

Could you elaborate as of why codeacademy 'sucks', i've used it before and i found it quite good.

For that i would say either google or searching these forums as its been discussed a lot in a number of places. But the gist is that it teaches bad practices etc so dont use it.

I find EvilZone.org an excellent resource. Whenever I post shitty hacked together scripts I get a response I don't understand and try to hack a different source until I get it to do what I want to do. Either that or ande will just get flustered with me and take my shitty script and bedazzle the shit out of it. Maybe if I spent half the time actually reading how to code instead of mashing snippits together trying to get them to work I might actually be able to make something nice lmfao

Where the hell are you coming from?

Great suggestion right here. Cybrary is a very rich resource for anyone trying to get ahead in any facet of computer security or coding. As far as the diss on code academy and the others, I disagree. Code Academy is a supplement to me. I don't think there is any substitute for the old (read code - write code) technique. Code Academy expects you to be doing work outside of it's modules.

www.learncpp.com/

It's specifically for c++ but it has been a useful tool for learning the language.
