   Best Place to Learn Coding for Free

   I've been using SoloLearn for nearly 2 years, every single day, and it's almost replaced facebook for me. I mean, it's an awesome place, with awesome people. Great place to learn the basics of coding, and practice writing codes, and have a great time.

   👍 Pros:    Friendly and safe community|Well designed courses and challenges|Great gamification

   👎 Cons:    A few connection issues when servers are overloaded.

• Best way to learn JS, Node.JS SQL and Python for "free"?

  You could stick with freeCodeCamp or use SoloLearn. It's a duolingo style app that teaches programming in small exercises instead of full projects. Source: 12 months ago

• Is 45 credits in one term difficult to complete? Should I push my start date and study more before beginning the term?

  That being said, I wouldn't push it back that far. At best, push it back a month, and spend that month on sololearn.com focusing on the Java courses. If you know Java, you can learn Python on the fly. Then keep track of your intended schedule (once you've discussed the order you'll attempt classes with your Mentor; I've just copied your list verbatim) with due dates, as below. The Buffer weeks are there to... Source: 12 months ago

• Programmer in game development. Advice?

  Watch this video by Game Maker's toolkit to understand Unity, after that, learn C# using SoloLearn, it's a Duolingo style (mobile/web)app that teaches programming languages. When you finish both, start doing your own projects and when you don't know something look for documentation, if you don't find any, then search on google, if you still don't find how to do what you want, then you ask on Reddit and StackOverflow.

• Ask HN: What is a good website/app for math practice?

  I have always enjoyed using https://brilliant.org/ because it's interactive and very informative. Although it's not as interactive, https://artofproblemsolving.com/community offers a great community and valuable resources. - Source: Hacker News / 2 days ago

• Ask HN: Good sources of math exercises for ~10-17 y/o?

  I used Brilliant (https://brilliant.org/) with my kids and it was helpful, if only because they did try to explain some of the theory around the work in different ways. Considering your comment around videos and artwork, it might not be what you are after, but you can check out some of their free courses to get an idea of how they work. The biggest issue for me was that it is concept based rather than curriculum... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• on discouragement

  So, I started studying from the basics with brilliant.org about 4-5 months ago, starting right from the basics. I do it for 40-45 minutes every day, no exceptions, making it a priority just like reading books. From what I've observed so far, I enjoy it. Sometimes I do well, encountering old topics I've learned before. I dare say one of my hobbies is math study (i'm not sure how far I can go, but I ask myself how... Source: 7 months ago

• combining like bases with exponents when there's a fraction involved

  Can someone write this out in a super-explicit form to show me the rule for how to combine like bases - this is another brilliant.org question:. Source: 8 months ago

• Looking for a website to learn fundamentals

  I'm a chemical lab assistant and have worked in biochemistry/protein research for four years. I do good work, but I want to understand more background. Often, I don't get the theory behind my experiments. So, I want to build my fundamental knowledge and more. I liked brilliant.org. But there is no biochemistry. Do you know a similar website that would help me? I will also welcome more help. :). Source: 9 months ago
