So you want to get into Programming?

Just a quick programming resources guide for anyone wanting to start coding. This is not specifically assembly related.

Books

Use methods in this order for a specific title:

1) http://gen.lib.rus.ec/
2) Search for "book title AND file:pdf" on Google.
3) if all fail, read this.


Courses

The are numerous place that give free course. Personally I never followed any but some people learn well that way. If I had to choose I'd probably go with something on edX, Coursera or MIT OC. For web coding orientation, a popular one is freecodecamp.
