Curated programming resources for beginners!
- Codecademy: Learn How to Code - this is an amazing resource that walks you through the high level concepts with exercises and visuals.
- Basics of Programming (in this repository!) - because Codecademy's Python courses cost money, Kaggle's intro course is a little too complex, and code.org's courses are too abstracted, I've created a lightweight introduction to programming in Python that I believe should be more engaging and easy (largely based on Kaggle's course).
- I've included a project at the end that is meant to help the transition from completing exercises to actually building something!
- Kaggle's Python Course - Python has much more to offer! Learn more Python with this course, which will help you become more comfortable with programming when exploring further.
- Coding Bat - exercises for if you want to strengthen your fundamentals.
Beyond Basics - resources if you'd like to continue to explore the world of programming!
The following sections are separated by topics in computer science.
- Data science and machine learning
- Kaggle - lots of great courses to explore data science and machine learning, and they're all free!
- Web development
- Mozilla's Getting started with the web - great general introduction to making your first basic website.
- Project Ideas
- Web application! Flask! Platform to share links.
- Data analysis! Get a cool dataset and make visualizations and write an article!
- ML Model! Make a twitter bot to tweet like someone you know using a language model. Maybe even just make it respond to prompts based off of someone's tweets.
