MOOC (Massive Online Open Courses)

  • SoloLearn - My personal favorite! They have a mind blowing quiz/gamified way of teaching programming and what's more, they provide free online/PDF certificates on successful completion too!
  • Free Code Camp - Fun and gamified way of learning web development. You can even try this if you already are a programmer and just want to exercise your coding muscles.
  • Saylor Academy - Non profit Australian Academy offering various CS courses. Highly recommended!
  • Open2Study - Launched in April 2013 by a collaboration of several Australian universities. The number of programming specific courses is currently small, but should grow in future considering that they are more leaning towards career-oriented than core academic courses.
  • MIT Open Courseware - One of the best online resource to get learning content. However, you won't get any certificates on course completion.
  • Stanford Online - Another great university that provisions learning content through the online channel. Again, no certificates, but still great course content.
  • Coursera - Comprehensive curriculum and large number of programming courses to choose from. No free certificates though.
  • edX.org - Yet another MOOC. They used to offer free certificates until few years ago but no longer now.
  • Khan Academy - video lessons - Good for learning HTML/CSS - both practice tests and video sessions.

Puzzles, quizzes and riddles to exercise your coding muscles

  • Kattis - Keep solving coding problems and keep earning reputation points for you, your university and your country!
  • Project Euler - One of the "old-school", but interesting sites that features solving math problems through various levels. There is no code-evaluation, you just have to write your own code, come up with answers and post the answer to go to the next level.
  • Advent of code - Lots of programming problems for you to solve! A gamification approach which is fun and enjoyable. It is said that people abuse the hell out of languages to reach the top of leaderboard here. Requires a Github, Reddit or Google account to sign in.
  • CodingBat - python and java - Coding puzzles and problems in python and java.
  • PySchools - python - Programming practice tests specific to python.
  • /r/dailyprogrammer - A programming puzzle a day keeps woes and dispair away. A subreddit where programming problems are posted and peer-reviewed every day.
  • /r/learnpython wiki - Pointer to more python practice resources.
  • Code Wars - A must visit place for all programmers. The practice challenges are really addictive.
  • Paqmind – An alternative approach to learning. Answer theoretical questions, solve challenges and compare your solutions with verified ones.

Integrated Development Environments (IDE)

  • notepad++: Less of an IDE and more of a code-editor to be honest but happens to be my favorite.
  • microsoft/vscode: This is more like a glorified notepad++ but highly popular and currently trending. It runs a bit slower though due to it being written in JavaScript.
  • atom/atom: Similar to above, Atom is another JavaScript editor, quite popular these days.
  • Netbeans: The conservative Java veteran's IDE! Unlike the above two, this one is a fully fledged IDE and supports advanced things like code refactoring and navigation.
  • Eclipse: Another Java veteran's IDE, a strong competitor to Netbeans.
