I use a lot of these tools basically every day, and I feel like not many people know about them. hopefully someone finds these useful! if you have any other good links, feel free to add them.

gitignore.io - generate a .gitignore file for your git project

regexpal.com - interactive regex tester

[perksofengineering]

Probably you’ve heard Karlie’s speech about her coding scholarship. “I think it’s crucial that young women learn to code as early as possible, to ensure that we have a voice and a stake in what the world looks like”, she said at the famous promotional video.

Coding is an amazing skill for making some of your thoughts real. It’s the ultimate way for solving problems, implement algorithms and so on. As you may know, coding works as another way of communication, and so you need a language. But which one? Choosing the adequate one is sometimes difficult, always relevant. Wikipedia has a page itself describing the differences between C, C++, Python, Java, Pearl… Forums are a good source of information too.

For making easier the introduction to languages (maybe you don’t like how C++ works, Java syntaxis), I thought that a list of webs where you can code online could be useful.

Specifically for Web Development

My fave. I started when I was fifteen or sixteen learning on my own, and I was absolutely in love with Brackets. But here I found other software online:

Codepen: Minimal design, fast, with liveview that is automatically updated when you click them.

JsBin: This one allows you to code in the same page where it’s embedded into. Super recommended.

CSSDeck: Offers HTML, CSS, and JavaScript preprocessors, and is also connected with GitHub. In addition, you can record your process so it can be reviewed by others later.

Liveweave Updates the layout without reloading the page, and you can actually change the size of each individual cell, as well as downloading your code. It’s very similar to the others, and includes an interesting feature for autoformating and cleaning up the code. Many forums recommend it.

Miscellany

Ideone: Compiler and IDE that supports 40+ languages: Ada, assembler, C++, COBOL, Java, JavaScript, Pascal, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, SQL, and many more. Code can be download in the proper format to your computer system, and shared as well at a wide range of social networks. Super recommended.

CodeAnywhere: Super cool. Multiplatform (web, Android, iOS), 75 languages, customized playground, code beautify… It has different prices deppending on your needs. I recommend the $7 per user/mo., but they have a free version too.

Viper-7: PHP only.

Reply.it: Lots of languages, like JavaScript, Python, Ruby… visually, simple and with examples. It has a special service called “Teachers”, for making easier the taching of code.

Runcode: Compiling fragments of text in the language of your choice.

Pythonanywhere: A fully developed environment exclusively for Python.

We would be very happy to receive your opinions, and complete the list with many more sources. There are plenty of courses online about learning to code, so give a try!

[amphurious]

psa for CS majors!!

If youre a computer science student and youre taking (or will be taking) data structures, PLEASE check out this website. Visualgo has some of the best visual demonstrations for basically ALL the important data structures and algorithms you learn in a data structures course. This site saved my ass for my final because I couldnt work with avl trees for shit lol 

please just give it a look i promise you wont be disappointed!

Algorithms looks complicated, were they hard to learn?

They can look complicated, but once you follow them through step by step you will unterstand them.The complicated part is that you have to analyse the time and how much storage they need. 

For time analysis the Big O Notation is used. Which is at first kinda hard to unterstand, but really not that difficult. Basically it says:

When a function looks at every input n, (and does something which can be achieved in constant time, like adding oder subtracting or something). The function takes O(n) Time. But when each element looks at each other element (which is basically a Loop in a Loop) it takes n² Time, so: O(n²). Also for storage analysis the Big O Notation is used. Like when you need to store every input element n, then its O(n). When you need to store an NxM Matrix (2D Array), its O(n*m) So with this analysis Algorithms can be ranked how fast they are: More about it at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_O_notation 

There are also many more ressources, which you can find online on algorithms. Start to look at Bubble Sort, which is basically the most known sorting Algorithm :)

So in summary, no they are not that hard to learn, just the analysis is sometimes kind of boring ;)

Hello all, today I bring you my computer science masterpost, which is based on my experiences with CS in high school and college (and also from talking other CS studyblrs). Full disclosure, I have only been studying CS for about two years (and mainly in Java) so this is not coming from an expert, but I want to put what I know out there to help all y’all, so HERE WE GO!

First off: If you haven’t already, check out posts like this and this (and many others) for online CS resources and practice. Code Academy is especially great for brushing up on the basics, and I really like Coding Bat for little exercises to warm up your brain before jumping into a bigger project. @thisgirlcodes​ also told me about this link for free CS books. 

THROUGHOUT THE YEAR

Code. A lot. 

More on this later, but my general advice is to fully go through code examples from class instead of ignoring them or just glancing over them

In addition, you can write your own mini-programs using concepts you are learning to see how they work in practice

Also make sure you are running the most current version of your IDE, this will help you avoid errors from out of date software

Keep up with your homework problems/textbook readings 

Even if it is for completion you should try to do it right (ideally without looking at your notes)

The material won’t always be directly relevant to your class, but it can never hurt to know more about the subject

Mark up/retype lecture notes

Pretty standard studyblr advice: don’t let your notes sit, reviewing them over time is the best way to make sure you learn it

Keep a running study guide

Every time you encounter something particularly difficult or something your teacher really stresses, add it to the study guide and come test time you will already be ahead with studying

You could even make a shared Google Doc and have multiple people contributing to it throughout the year 

Make a routine and stay with it

Something like “After every class do this, every week do this, etc.” will keep you on track better than just randomly studying

Know how your grade is calculated to better allocate your time

In my class, projects are not worth very much individually, but they take up so much of my time and energy and can distract me from studying for the really big stuff like tests and quizzes

Knowing what is worth more can tell you which areas need more or less of your time

CODING

Many people think they can understand concepts just by looking at a piece of code, but this has never worked for me. Here’s what does work: Download/copy the code you want to understand. Upload it into your code viewing platform of choice (usually I use Eclipse, BlueJ, or Drive Notepad). Then go through it thoroughly. Make as many comments as you need to understand how it is running. Trace what is happening from input to output. See what concepts are being applied in the code. Basically you need to interact with it, not just read it. I am really bad about finding the motivation to do this because it’s a lot of work, but it really does help you understand the material on a deeper level. 

I’ve commented this code that I found here so you can see what I’m talking about (I commented a lot, of course you can do as much or as little as you like).

PREPARING FOR TESTS

The two key things to do when preparing for a test are to know the concepts and to do practice problems. Any combination of things from this list can work, it’s up to you to find what you like.

Teacher-assigned homework problems

Practice test problems and answers

Going to office hours/after school help

Assigned projects

Side projects 

Chapter Review and Quick Check questions from textbook

Quiz and test corrections

General notes/lecture review

Code that accompanies lecture/discussion

Another note: I always find it really hard to do problems without looking at the answers. In my mind I know it will help me learn better if I attempt the questions without looking at the answers, but I still really really just want to look at them. I think it’s a combination of it being much more effort to figure it out and also that you can kind of trick yourself. If you do all the problems yourself and struggle with them, you feel terrible, but if you just look at the answers it’s easy breezy. So try to remember that having trouble with practice problems isn’t the end of the world, and in the long run it will help you learn.

OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL

Join clubs/networks for coding

Of course I gotta plug Women in Tech and especially the women in tech network on tumblr, hi ladies <3 

I joined the AWC, or the Association for Women in Computing, and there are many other associations to explore

Jobs/Internships

This would require a whole different post, but essentially if you are in a position to get a job/internship, real world experience with code will increase your skill level very quickly

Outside projects

I’ve never been one to tinker around with stuff, but it seems like every guy and his uncle has built a PC or a web app so you might want to try it for yourself

You can also get involved with compsci people from tumblr or from your school and build things together with Git and Slack

OTHER GENERAL TIPS

Logical thinking (courtesy of @thisgirlcodes)

Compsci requires a certain approach to problem solving that doesn’t come naturally to everyone at first; you kind of have to train yourself to think through all these possibilities when writing code and solving problems. It can seem impossible at first, especially when you see these super-fancy, super-efficient designs made by top-level programmers, but with enough practice I know you can develop the skill.

Real talk for ladies: there’s a lot of dudes out there. Talk to them. If you only stick with girls you won’t be getting the full experience, and you might miss the opportunity to meet some amazing people. 

PEP TALK

Studying computer science is hard work. HARD. WORK. Compsci is one of those fields that has a lot of geniuses; these people seem to just skim on by and understand everything perfectly, leaving you (or at least me) feeling useless and dumb and like you’ll never catch up. My philosophy for dealing with this has been, “If you can’t out-think them, out-work them,” and also, “You don’t have to be good at it, you just have to do it.” Many many people do extremely well in this field without being geniuses, and they do it by working hard over time. I really like this reddit thread that talks about feeling discouraged by everyone’s success. It’s good to remember that just because you aren’t the best at something doesn’t mean you can’t make contributions to and do well in your field.

And that’s it! Wishing you the best of luck in whatever you pursue! <3<3<3

[code-bug]

I was asked to make a masterpost on websites like Codecademy, so I’ve tried to compile a list of the best (and mostly free!!). In no particular order: 

1. Codecademy [x]

I couldn’t not include Codecademy! Just in case you haven’t checked it out, it’s pretty neat. It has courses for learning languages and web developer skills.

Languages: Python, Ruby, Java, PHP, jQuery, JavaScript, HTML/CSS

Extras: Git, SQL, Command Line, AngularJS, Ruby on Rails

2. Code School [x]

This is pretty similar to Codecademy with the in-browser coding and such. It also has additional features like teaching videos. A good introduction to programming languages.

Languages: Python, Ruby, Javascript, HTML/CSS

Extra: iOS development with Objective-C or Swift, Git, SQL

3. Learnaroo [x]

Has tutorials followed by mini challenges based on the concepts you’ve just learnt! It also has some reference pages called “Learn x by Example”. Looks pretty good.

Languages: Python, Java, Ruby, HTML/CSS

Extra: Algorithms, Mathematics, + a bunch of premium membership stuff

4. Learn … 

A set of related websites (see below) which have mini tutorials on language concepts followed by mini challenges, similar to Learnaroo.

Languages: Python, Java, C, C#,  JavaScipt, PHP, Shell

5. Code Combat [x]

Basically, it turns learning to code into a game! As you move through the levels, new concepts are introduced, so the code you need to write to play the game gets harder. 

Languages: Python, Java, JavaScript, CoffeeScript, Clojure, Lua

6. Codingame [x]

Similar idea to Code Combat, but a little more advanced. 

Languages: Python, Java, Ruby, C, C++, C#, Haskell, VB … there’s actually loads it supports.

7. Code Wars [x]

This is more for ‘training’ with a language you already know. It offers plenty of practice through challenges, so it’s really good for improving your coding skills. 

Languages: Python, Ruby, Java, C#, Haskell, JavaScript, CoffeeScript, Clojure

8. Coderbyte [x]

This offers some video tutorials and challenges for a few languages, plus special courses on specific algorithms and bootcamp/interview prep. You need a premium membership for quite a lot of things, though (e.g. I don’t think you can watch any of the videos with a free membership).

Languages: Python, Ruby, JavaScript

Extras: Algorithms, Bootcamp Prep, Job Interview Prep

9. Free Code Camp [x]

Mini tutorials followed by mini challenges. Has a number of courses on the languages below!

Languages: HTML/CSS, jQuery, JavaScript

Extras: Git, Algorithms, + a bunch of projects to complete

10. Programmr [x]

Has courses to learn various languages through doing little exercises/challenges in the browser, similar to previous examples. Also has ‘zones’ for more languages, where you can find challenges, example code and projects people have shared. 

Languages: Python, Java, C++, C#, PHP, jQuery

11. CheckIO [x]

Only offers Python, but I still think it’s really great. You move from level to level, getting challenges which are gradually trickier. Learn by doing!

12. Rails for Zombies [x]

For people who already know a bit of Ruby, but nothing about Ruby on Rails!  Each level begins with a short video followed by interactive challenges where you program Rails in the browser.

That’s all (for now!) Hope this is helpful! (ﾉ^∇^)ﾉﾟ
