In spite of the old fashioned design style (which does not even try to hide the age of this website), the page is somehow still maintened today. It contains a huge amount of information about Linux OS (tutorials, help, documentation, on-line training, guides and links), available for free to all Linux users. When you are looking for something about Linux, especially if you don’t know exactly what, don’t forget to take a look here.
An interesting link from GeeksForGeeks thet provides many solutions to common algorithm exercises (often with different methods). Very interesting and helpful to read.
Exercism is an open source projet that provides a free site with thousands of programming exercises in over 50 different languages, with different difficulty levels. Users can re-inforce their knowledge by practicing coding exercises and exploiting mentoring by experienced programmers. Everyone can contribute to exercism by donating money or even time (e.g. contributing to write or update exercises).
A simple web page where you can subscribe to a mailing list to receive every day a coding problem.
A rather famous web site that provides many algorithms of different kinds and with different data structures. It allows to write code, run it directly within the portal and see the results. Some companies use it for their tests during job interviews.
This is an online arena where programmers can compete with each other in specific coding challenges.

An interesting article by Bjarne Stroustrup, the inventor of C++, published in the January 2012 issue of the IEEE Journal of Computer Science. In this publication, Stroustrup claims for more stringent correctness, reliability, efficiency, and maintainability requirements for a specific category of software, denoted as Infrastructure Software. Very interesting, even if a bit technical.
This paper, published on Proceedings of the 10th ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Software Language Engineering (2017), presents a study of the runtime, memory usage and energy consumption of 27 well-known software languages when applied to a sample of 10 different programming problems, expressed in each of the languages. Some results are quite obvious (e.g. compiled languages are faster and “greener” than virtual machine languages and interpreted languages), but this paper presents experimental results which confirm this conclusion. Further, from an overall point of view the C language is the fastest and most energy efficient.
An interesting article by Tom Demarco, published in the December 2011 issue of IEEE Software, which provides a surprising simple explanation of the reason why software development projects are often late. Nice reading.
This article is an extract from the book “The mythical man-month” from the same author, published by Addison Wesley in 1975. It explains the pitfalls behind the man-month concept and tries to understand how can a project get to be a year late (to quote the author: simply one day at a time). Very interesting and still relevant after almost 50 years.
Codecamy is a platform that offers a great variety of online courses about several programming languages and several arguments related to computer science, web development, data science, machine learning and so on. There are a lot of courses available through free subscription, and also a PRO subsciption with more resources.
Coursera works with universities and other organizations to offer online courses, certifications and degrees in a variety of subjects. Coursera offers full master’s degrees from approximately 150 universities (most from the United States). It also provides training for various certifications. Finally, it also offers online courses on various topics, some of which are completely free.
Udemy is a platform that allows instructors to build online courses on their preferred topics. It is very interesting for at least two reasons. First, it is a huge repository of a lot of courses about a variety of fields. Several courses are free, however those that are not are usually characterized by affordable prices. Second, everyone who has something interesting to teach, can publish his own course on the platform.
Tutorialspoint offers severel learning resources, such as tutorials, courses, e-books and also prime packs. Most of the material is not free, but the costs are often absolutely affordable.
