Computers is a very broad term, is there anything in particular you're looking to do inside the world of IT?

Really broad, software, hardware... any direction you are looking to go?

Nothing in particular, just wondering what sites are good to learn and what sites the users of techgame use to learn more about computers. I just recently found a really cool site for coding called W3Schools and another website called Coursera which has almost all College classes for cheap. What about a site where you can learn about hardware. Classes that teach you all about what certain components do etc. For Example like what Threads do on a CPU etc... lol Whats a good site to learn stuff like that?

Im still not sure what you are looking for lol but maybe you are looking for something like Computer architecture or something like all the parts of a PC or something and how they work.

Or you could be looking for a language there is tons of lanuages to choose from.

I myself have learned , Java , C# , PHP , SQL , PL/SQL, HTML/CSS, Javascript and Bash Scripting with linux.

I mean what is your goal do you want to be doing front end stuff like designing websites and shizz. Then the languages I would advise you to learn would be html/css , javascript , jquery , the list goes on.

Or if your into backend stuff , learn some of the main ones like Java , c# , c++.


If you dont plan on attending college, maybe create a portfolio of all your work you create which would be great for employers to see.

So, for programming courses I'll list my favorites:

Teamtreehouse (Introductory software engineering) paid
Pluralsight (Just about anything tech-related-software, hardware, IT, security, etc.) paid
Lynda (Like Pluralsight-Hardware/IT, software engineering, design, etc.) paid
Udacity (Mostly mobile & web development with courses co-designed with big companies like Google) paid/free
Udemy (courses uploaded by anyone, and about anything) paid/free
Stackoverflow (Where you'll end up when your code has a bug)
Quora (Where you should've asked this question)
MDN (Where you should go when looking for CSS, HTML, and/or JavaScript documentation)
Edx (Similar to Coursera)
CodeWars (For programming interview-like problems) free

A good course to take on Coursera (or EdX) is CS50, by Harvard. Also, I'm assuming W3Schools has gotten better, because I remember it being pure trash years ago. Many sites offer student discounts as well, so you should use a school email, if you have one. Also, asking Google my questions is my goto. It seems that almost any tech-related question I've had has been asked on either Quora or Stackoverflow. Finding good books to supplement online courses is typically a good idea as well.

Edit: There's a guy on youtube named "Eli The Computer Guy" (I believe) that may be a good place to learn about beginning computer engineering/architecture.

Like I said, I'm not looking for a specific thing. I'm asking people to list there favorite websites that they used to learn about computers. Whether that be Coding, Hardware, OS, Software, Networking, etc. So list your favorite sites that you use to learn on.

Oh ok, Sorry my bad haha. Since I attended college to learn it I didnt do any courses but websites that I did use were W3Schools which is great for tutorials on certain things and also the main one everyone uses which is stackoverflow which literally has an answer to every bug you have.

As far as programming goes Id start a language on some site like codeacademy or whatever then make your own project and you really do learn from just googling what you need as you go and sifting through the documentation as well as sites like w3 and stackoverflow

for programming at your own pace I would recommend you check out this post I wrote a while ago.
Forums/t=7717723/the-i-want-to-wr...guide.html

And if you want a good site that is college level I would recommend [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
They have pretty much any book that you can think of that is related to computers.

Some of the books are really specific while other are broad. Here are some of the topics I know they have.


Only thing is, the subscription is $35 a month, but honestly it's well worth it. I don't have to buy books for college anymore I just use this site.
