Hi there, as a beginner, I would like to ask if any of you, be it novice or veteran coders, can recommend me some resources to better aid beginners like me who are struggling to start from scratch…
Here are some questions which I’ve came up with:
1. What are some static code analysis tools which don’t require downloading? Or those that don’t take up much storage space in the computer?
As far as I know, csslint can be used for CSS while jshint is for JavaScript. So what about for Python, Ruby, PHP and etc?
2. What are some of the textbooks which you use to learn programming? (preferably free, can be in the form of pdf files too)
It would cost a bomb if I were to buy a textbook for every programming language, so can any kind souls recommend me free online resources? hehe
3. Out of all these code editors, which one do you recommend the most, and why?
Currently I’m using CodePen, so I’ll exclude CodePen from the list…
Note that this list is adapted from Which code editor do you use the most? by @zystvan
- Web based (Cloud9, collabedit, etc.)
- Brackets
- Atom
- Sublime text
- Notepad/ Notepad(++)
- Terminal based (Vim, Vi, Nano, etc.)
- Netbeans
- Visual Studio
- Eclipse
- Ed
- Others (please state)
4. Do you have any advice or additional resources for beginners?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
