Starting to code

[Kribbles]

Here are some references that I give out to people and I find them good enough to necro this thread:

• This is Project Euler, it has good math-related problems, so good for MATLAB or Python.
  
• This is beej's network programming, a very excellent to learn how to create networked program like how web servers work or multiplayer video games.
  
• This is handmadehero, a low-level game programming tutorial, just watch the first 100 episodes.
  
• This is a textbook-based learning how to program. I'd recommend going through the first 4 books.
  
• Once you're comfortable programming, you may find you don't know what to do, here's a list of good projects to do
  

For programmers who are looking for advanced projects, here's a list I also have (I'd also recommend the textbook-based learning for advanced concepts too):

• Advent of code, a yearly event where you write a program for each day in the advent calendar
  
• Programming for cryptography
  
• Programming for the Linux kernel
  
• Advanced projects
  
• Advanced projects 2
  
• Massive list of tutorials on how to build your own systems
