Resources

These are resources I found helpful when learning:

Just Beginning:

• Computer Science 101   My first introduction to Computer Science came from this free online Coursera class. I think it was a helpful intro to the field. It uses a variant of Javascript.
• Codecademy   I also messed around with Codecademy when I was first learning. Great resource for beginners.
• Codecombat   This site is still in development, but I think its a fun, easy introduction to programming. You code as you play a game.

Java:

• BU's Professor Sullivan's Course Notes One of my all time favorite professors. His notes are a great guide to Java and programming.
• Building Java Programs by Stuart Reges and Marty Stepp
• Algorithms by Robert Sedgewick and Kevin Wayne ---Great introduction to algorithms and data structures taught in Java.

HTML & CSS:

• Code Avengers Great hands-on tutorial for beginners.
• HTML Dog Clear, concise guide.
• HTML & CSS: Design and Build Websites by John Duckett

Android & iOS:

• Team Treehouse This site has great tutorials for tons of other concepts and languages as well.
