• 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. Also consider... Source: 5 months ago

• 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: 10 months ago

• I need some advice to learn Python.

  Much better to get your hands dirty than watching the videos. Try: https://checkio.org/. Source: 11 months 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: 12 months 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: 12 months ago

• Screen-free coding for children: the xylophone maze

  My daughter and I play "dadbot" where I'm the robot and she has to give me clear instructions on what I should do. It started after I showed her https://lightbot.com/ but we like the "screen-free" nature of dadbot better. Eventually she jumps on my back and the game doesn't last much longer because dadbot gets tired. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• Are there any games you recommend that teach programming?

  There was a cool flash browser game... I believe I played an early version pre-2010... But the main lightbot site says 2014. Source: 12 months ago

• do you know any coding games similar to this one from Google?

  This game looks like a clone of LightBot, a popular Flash game from back in the day. Source: about 1 year ago

• Is there anything a beginner should before trying to learn c#?

  Another good game for programmer students is Lightbot. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Swift Playgrounds 4

  That gem collection game looks like a fairly direct rip-off of https://lightbot.com/ If you have kids that you'd like introduce to some programming concepts in a fun way, I highly recommend it. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
