I stumbled across a free, online, MIT Intro to CS, Python link.

http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electric...nce-and-programming-fall-2008/video-lectures/

It's pretty nice because it includes the videos of the lectures, readings, tests, homework. From 2008.


EDIT: In fact, there are a lot of good resources on the website.

Nice one, thanks.

Any good websites/books on Machine Language, Assembly Language, Kernels, etc?

Just thought I'd mention that Free-ITebooks.com seems to be a dead link now.

Very useful list, thanks!

you forgot the official PHP documentation

Recently found this guy's youtube site (Derek Banas)
http://www.youtube.com/user/derekbanas?feature=watch

Tons of tutorials on just about anything related to web programming
each video is packed with info and not trying to sell anything :thumbsup:
(there may be a typical youtube commercial at beginning)

I like your contribution for learning programing language. Format is quite good. Excellent !!!

 

[karlingen]

Cheers!!

I could really recommend Web Application Development with Yii1.1 and PHP5.
One of the greater frameworks out there..

hi chronodekar,

You did great job. could share any .net related resource?

 

[Tr4nd]

This list is helpful, I usually learn my stuff from https://buckysroom.org/, previously The New Boston.

 

[best_2015]

Thanks for the reference. A really useful resource.

Well, i suppose i used to be alluding to the task of mixing everything into one post at the terribly high. Specifically:

1) Move the contents of post one to post two and contrariwise.
2) The links to 'General,' 'Programming,' and 'Linux' be removed.
3) underneath every language, produce sub-sections - one points to tutorials whereas the opposite points to any reviews (if available). i actually do not care regarding the reviews, therefore even those is born. i'm simply making an attempt to come back up with a hierarchy that may add up to most of the people.

Again, i'm thinking of constructing this as lean as potential. Overall, we must always merely stick with languages in order that we will [possibly] gather additional community content that is particular to languages. Let American state recognize if you had alternate concepts.

 

[annaparr]

The things you have added here are really helpful.

Thanks for sharing this information. I am actually searching and reading about these languages. i have got much help from this thread.

Any chance we could get an updated list of resources? Some of these aren't very good anymore.

 

[Wellcky]

Free Books from Amazon in the Kindle section Top 100 free Computer Programming.

 

[lxskllr]

Some free books compiled from StackOverflow documentation...

Probably better for amateurs and/or beginners, but you can't beat the price.

When you get around to it, I'd recommend:

• For the Godot game engine (Which is also getting used to make game development tools like Pixelorama and Material Maker), I'd suggest Godot 4 Recipies on the KidsCanCode site as an extension to the first-party documentation (like those O'Reilly '... Cookbook' books) and, if you're accepting "references" in a more "learn how to use the ecosystem" sense, Awesome Godot for a list of other resources.
• For the Rust programming language, I'd suggest Blessed.rs for an unofficial guide to the recommended choices for extending Rust's intentionally minimal standard library, the Rust Cookbook for a semi-official analogue to those O'Reilly "... Cookbook" books, and, on the most "learn how to use the ecosystem" end of the spectrum, Rust Interop and areweextendingyet for lists of tools and libraries for using Rust to write compiled extensions for other languages, and lib.rs for a third-party frontend to the package repository which is focused on making it as easy as possible to evaluate packages you're considering using.
• For Django, I'd suggest Django Packages because it's not just an index of reusable components, it also has comparison tables that help you to get up to speed with the ecosystem.

Heck, when Rust was much younger, the most common complaint I saw was that the documentation seemed to either be all beginner stuff or all very advanced and this sort of middle-ground stuff was hard to find.
