Programming nuggets


If you are learning a new language with some programming base from other languages, it's always a good idea to fast-forward through the part which talks about - conditional statements, logical operators and loops. Just get a rough feel of the syntax and do a few examples. These parts mostly remain consistent across languages, so unless you have all the time in the world, it's okay to take a few leaps.

Tried it; Liked it;

I don't say these are the best out there on the Internet (a single lifetime is not enough to surf the entire Internet... well at least not in this decade), but here is a list of computer & science resources that I found out to be quite useful:

1) Solo learn and code academy - Skip to the interesting content if you already know the basics by taking a test. Good if you are new at a language and want to get an idea how things work in that language (syntax & core features)
Courses offered: Web development, programming languages, etc.

2) Udacity -
Courses offered : 
Official - Android courses by Google.

3) EdX - 
Courses offered : 
Featured - Harvard's CS 50(taught by David J Melan - Probably the best CSE teacher out there), Linux by The Linux Foundation. (It's a long course and can get a bit boring, but it sure covers a lot!)

4) Coursera - I occasionally surf their courses, but didn't find anything appealing yet!

###Cool stuff###
YouTube: Ted-Ed, ASAPscience
Also if you have plenty of free time check out: Veritasium and Vsauce (Although their videos can get a bit lengthy, they sure are interesting!)

P.S - All the above-mentioned courses are free. The only thing you need to pay is your Internet bill.

**The list is dynamic. Tell me that websites that work for you in the comments**

I really like the idea of this app. Hope they figure out a way to effectively sort out and filter the user submitted quotes...
