Places to practice on the computer and online

codeHS- It’s good for practicing syntax and style and getting used to using methods but you need to have a teacher or pay to get any program other than karel the dog which is really boring. It can teach you a language but it would again require a different course, than the one that is freely given, it’s nice because it gives you a video to teach you what your doing before you do it and examples that you can mess with that were also often in the video. It also has a sandbox where you can practice.

Codingbat- The site has practice for java and python it is recommended that you watch the videos if you don’t know the language or you get stuck on one of the more difficult problems. It’s nice because it has the problems separated by subcategory like strings, and arrays and by difficulty.

Codecamp-It seperates things by certification like web developer and it has HTML CSS and Javascript in those courses. It essentially gives you a example and then asks you to do what the example is showing you, it also lets you practice by helping non-profits, although I’m fairly sure you have to complete a certification in order to do so. I think this also has a place to practice outside the exercises but I don’t quite remember.

Codewars- It is a training site with a bunch of practice problems and it will check whether you solved the problem,and it allows you to compare how skilled you are to other people. You do however need to know some coding before they let you join but the problem I have was easily completed in 5 minutes.

Eclipse- This is a GUI for java, which you can install through oracle which is where most of the references for java came from. In order to use it you may also have to install a Java SE development kit

Unity- This is a platform for making games, modeling and doing animation. The most used programming language on unity is c#. Unity also lets you make games for a variety of platforms including mobile games.

mobile apps to help learn or practice

SoloLearn- It has several courses that can help you learn the basics of different languages including java, html ,CSS ,SQL , python and more. It also looks to have courses courses or at least information(I hesitate to say courses because it doesn’t ask you questions like the ones on the actual languages) on concepts like bit wise operations, algorithms and data structures. The courses on the languages essentially tell you the basic concepts on the languages and then tests you on them, after you get past the basics it has a more on the topic option(most of the time) and they don’t ask you questions on those. It also has a place for you to code programs but from what i can tell its more another place to practice rather than create full programs because I don’t think it lets you do multiple classes for one program or GUI. I could be wrong on that though because I haven’t played with it much.
