Step up your Coding Game

A friend of mine pointed me to this great website where you can interactively practice and learn new programming skills by working through small coding challenges, like making a game.

CodinGame.com is an gamified learning community and website that allows you to learn new concepts by solving fun challenges. Pick from over 25 programming languages, including Python, C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, Go, and many more. In a matter of hours, you will work on hot programming topics, discover new languages, algorithms, and tricks in courses crafted by top developers.

Learn Programming Project-Based: Build-Your-Own-X

Last week, this interesting reddit thread was filled with overviews for cool projects that may help you learn a programming language. The top entries are:

Build Your Own X, by Dani Stefanovic
Project-based Learning, by Tu Tran
Projects from Scratch, by Algory L.
Project-based Tutorials in C, by Robby
Awesome DIY Software, by Cameron Eagans

There’s a wide range of projects you can get started on building:

If you want to focus on building stuff in a specific programming language, you can follow these links:

If you’re really into C, then follow these links to build your own:

Data Engineering Reading List, by Mapflat

Lars Albertsson, former software engineer at Spotify and Google and currently freelance data engineer via mapflat, maintains this list of data engineering resources. It includes many links to videos and courses about data pipelines, batch processing, Kafka, NoSQL, Clojure, Scala, Parquet, Luigi, Storm, Spark, Hadoop, Cassandra, and other tools I am not too familiar with. Looks like it could function as a great curated overview for starters.
