• I am stuck!

  Have you heard of CheckIO (https://checkio.org/)? They have a gameified "Mario world" of coding challenges that are smaller and come with more explanation, tests to guide you through edge cases and provide hints. The challenges start from total beginner and progress to more advanced. And best of all, after you solve a problem they show you what other people do. I highly recommend this for you.

• I feel like I may not be smart enough to get into the cybersecurity space

  Cyber isn't gonna be a light switch, where you can flip it and be good. Don't be too hard on yourself. Start with some hands on stuff like https://tryhackme.com or checkio.org. You could look at certs like Security+ or CySA+ for some direction. It took me years to get into cybersecurity, and I still don't feel like I know anything. Source: about 3 years ago

• I need some advice to learn Python.

  Much better to get your hands dirty than watching the videos. Try: https://checkio.org/. Source: about 3 years ago

• Where can i test my knowledge?

  When I was first learning python I like using https://checkio.org/ Checkio provides programming problems in a gamified environment. After you have solved a problem you can see how others have solved the problem. This really accelerated my learning. Source: about 3 years ago

• Projects for beginners

  Look at checkio.org. Range of problems to solve ('missions') When you do you can see how others solved them too which ids very instructive. Source: about 3 years ago

• I wrote a book about Python - and am excited to share it

  Looks like a great book, and definitely an under-served niche! If you ever feel like converting it to a course, I'd be happy to offer you a deal over at the interactive coding course builder I run: https://coursemaker.org/. Source: almost 5 years ago

• So you want to self-publish books and courses on programming

  LearnWorlds is a solid choice. If you're after a course platform tailored for technical courses, check out https://coursemaker.org. - Source: Hacker News / almost 5 years ago

• SQLBolt – Interactive lessons and exercises to learn SQL

  You can build your own site like this with CourseMaker[1] (disclaimer: I'm the founder). We don't have SQL support yet, but you can create interactive exercises with JS, Python, Go, Rust, C# and Java. I learned to code through these kinds of sites (codeacademy and code school especially), I think being able to tinker in the browser with no setup is great.

• Hire me and pay what you want, just give me interesting work

  Same, sometimes people volunteer to help me code https://coursemaker.org for free because they like the idea. In one case this has worked out well. But in a couple of others the engineers have vanished quite fast. Sometimes I wonder if I made a much more serious effort to onboard/document/give ownership then would they stick with it. What do you reckon - how was the onboarding in your case? - Source: Hacker News / about 5 years ago
