• 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

  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

• Help needed for selecting Colleges.

  I'm 18M Indian. Growing up I've always been a daydreamer, if you may. Since 8th grade - I'm fascinated by programming. And I'm good at it too. But I'm not cocky too. I wouldn't say I'm at an advanced level, but I can most probably solve any problem - in time - with my skills. I also keep my skills brushed by solving problems on Hacker Rank (every day or alternate days) and try my best to contribute on... Source: 8 months ago

• Which is best, i didn't have clue what is c language, programing is this is the best video on YouTube , which should i chose or tell me in comments for a better course

  You can try Jenny's lectures. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdo5W4Nhv31a8UcMN9-35ghv8qyFWD9_S if you like classroom style teaching with whiteboard. For programming ,apart from tutorials the thing that helps best is practice , If you want to practice then I recommend hackerrank.com to test your understanding of programming concepts.
