What are some good sites to learn to code? Money is kind of tight for at least the next few months so would prefer free or not too expensivr lessons. I'm interested in C++ and Ruby and whatever else might get me a job someday (I'm very new and confused)
https://www.codecademy.com/ is pretty good, i think? im not experienced in coding At All but i've found it pretty useful so far
http://www.cplusplus.com/ is really good if you want C++. The descriptions of the language features are really good. They are only up to date with C++11, but for learning that is sufficient. The tutorials are decent. The tests are aweful - they is written by peoples what doesn't know English so the questions and answers often don't make sense to native English speakers (sometimes all the answers are wrong because of translation issues).
Oh boy do I got links for you as a self-taught programmer myself -cracks fingers- As mentioned above, https://www.codecademy.com/ is good, but mostly as a beginner resource-- it doesn't get very in-depth at all, and teaches you only the basics, but it is fun to learn. http://freecodecamp.com/ is where the big kids go to play. It's chock-full of lessions in various coding languages, and in addition to that, you build up a coding portfolio and manage to help out nonprofits if you want to stick with it. But my SECRET WEAPON is this here site: https://www.edx.org/ That ones a bit of a cheat, because EDX isn't specifically for coding, but it does have recorded lectures and class material from universities all over the world, including Ivy League schools. You can do them for free and get a little certificate (although to get an actual ~official~ resume-worthy certificate, you need to pay a bit) once you complete them, but this is like, basically a college course at zero cost, in a variety of subjects. Of them, I'd recommend CS50 if you're a starter in coding, because everyone says that is ~the best~.
Stackskills is a website that sells coding-related courses. I bought a course bundle there once at an insanely discounted rate, and now they send me frequent emails about other sales that they have. I haven't gotten around to actually taking the courses that I got because How Do Time Management, so I can't vouch for the quality, but the sales are very good. Stuff is frequently 80% off or more.
I wouldn't spend money on a coding course until you've tried the free ones. The free ones tend to be much better at "oh, so you're a complete newb and don't even know the difference between binary, octal, decimal, and hexadecimal, so let's start there". The pay-for ones I have seen assume a basic understanding of puters that may not be warranted.
I really liked the Learn Code the Hard Way free courses i tried ages ago, but i never kept up with it so i dont know how helpful it actually is. Its an all or nothing tidal wave type of teaching where you basically blast your brain with how to do's and repetitive exercises til you can do it on your own
