Websites to learn coding(Codecademy mainly)......

Hey guys I am back again with a new entry in my blog.I recently finished learning JAVA. I learnt Java from a website called www.codecademy.com. They have many languages like python(I am currently learning), PHP, HTML, CSS JavaScript, Ruby, Scala etc.

All I had to do was to just get myself registered and start coding. The interface looks some what like this:

It is a great interactive site. They have a pre loaded interpreter for all the languages. On the top right corner you can see a black screen which is the interpreter. In the centre you can see the text editor where you write the code & in the left (white screen) is the place where your task to be completed or the syntax, definitions or info is given for that Lesson. You get various tasks like the one above is something where you code a "Pyg Latin" Converter.

Codecademy is a cool site to learn coding. There are a few others like Udemy, Khan Academy, Code.org and PluralSight but I prefer Codecademy. Codecademy is FREE FOR ALL.....

A few days back I read a newspaper article about a company called Acadgild. It was founded by Vinodh Dham. They have professional online tutoring for almost all languages. During summers they have a course for kids. In this course they teach Android development. They teach Java in a way kids will find it easy to understand.

Youtube is free for you to learn but it is not interactive as much as the sites above....

I wish you guys all the best if your gonna learn coding from any of the sites above!!!

So it doesn't mean that you must need an Arduino licensed board. You can make a variety of circuits using Arduino. You can also program the Arduino to do certain things. I have the Arduino starter kit. It is available online on both Amazon and Flipkart.
