Hey buddies guess what??

I’ve brought you some awesome links that I have for learning how to code, computer science posts, and also various things about hacking. :p

CODING / COMPUTER SCIENCE

The best free and paid classes on the web. This is my go to site for learning something new.

app.pluralsight.com

$40 a month but the courses are top tier. You might find a free trial from microsoft dev essentials…

Free MIT courses with video lectures, notes, and resources!!!

Perhaps the most famous site for learning how to code, this is must have for any aspiring computer scientist, web dev, or programmer. A smooth UI, dozens of courses, APIs, and fun quizzes if you decide to cough up a bit of money. $19 is crazy dirt cheap compared to some $200 courses out there on the web.

Dubbed by its creator as the social network for programmers, TNB is a hotbed of hundreds of video tutorials for programming and computer science, as well as other disciplines like cooking.

Another crazy important site for anyone serious about programming. You can find online terminals, IDEs, and tutorials for almost every popular language out there, from oCaml to lisp

Geared towards children, this is a good introudction to programming thinking and helps a younger audience get into the problem solving mindset.

For users with some coding experience, codewars offers hundreds of challenges in various languages and help them build up their skills. Perfect for intermediate to master programmers.

This site is a bit geared towards new coders, it’s still fun and helps a ton in developing confidence.

Random blog that discusses some concepts regarding computer science. Worth a read if you’re ever lost and wanna just reflect on something.

Both the old and new sites are still up and provide their services for learning IT skills.

RESOURCES FOR COMPILERS, DATABASES, FORUMS, and SO MUCH MORE TAKE A LOOK.

What good is a programmer if they can’t make a good resume to show off their skills? With these helpful templates you can impress your potential employer.

I haven’t used this so be cautious. Has a lot of ebooks.

Web development cheat sheet.

Awesome intro to programming with links to projects.

Eli has a blog and also videos for various things.

CCIE book. Not sure if it’s open source. I’ll remove this link if requested.

pay money, learn to code. seems legit.

A forum for Python usrers! There are only a few sections but there are enough posts on here so if you haev a question, it might have already been asked.

Another sweet forum that covers multiple topics.

A really popular forum! Lots of languages and users, dozens of topics.

Another large forum, perfect for any use.

A freaking large factory of forums you will never find the same post twice.

Lots of forums, jobs, and helpful resources all geared towards game development.

The most famous one imo. Be wary friend, don’t let your CS teacher find this in your browser history.

Resources, forums, tutorials, blow yourself out here.

Has some training missions and other stuff. Helps you find projects to work on.

Put your skills to the test against AI or humans.

Like big data? Well this site teaches you Python, the numpy library, and R.

Full of courses for anything.

handy book on progrmaming.

HACKING

This is one of the BEST websites to learn about security and you can follow tutorials by real hackers and members of the IT field. With a strong community full of experienced authors, you will either flourish by using proper grammar or be mocked for asking “how do i hack gmail??”

PERFECT FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS INTERESTED IN CYBERSECURITY BUT HAVE NO IDEA WHERE TO START. I CANNOT STRESS HOW AWESOME THIS SITE IS.

allison.com

ANOTHER PERFECT SITE FOR LEARNING ANYTHING

Small collection of resources for educating yourself on internet security.

A must read for anyone with a desire to get into IT

Crash course on Command line.

Great if you cannot afford pricy online classes. Instructors know what they are talking about and despite a few poor quality videos, you will be supplied with helpful resources and forums.

One of the better forums out there for learning. Delve into it at your own risk.

ROBLOX hacking, general exploits, or just normal discussions. Roblox helped put me on my path to coding and I love how every day, millions of kids are being taught the ability of coding thanks to its studio.

Lessons, challenges, forums, and resources all bundled in a site to hone your pentest skills.

Like hackthissite, but with a different UI

Read the above

Free pentest tools. Don’t use it for anything wrong.

Hehe..we are in defcon 4..

Capture the Flag learning site. Amazing imo.

Another war games site. You get various challenges that are fun to solve ^.^

Wikipedia but for security.

Wargames.

Compete against IT pros. Git rekt code-bug

Explore this site a bit.

The link kinda gives it away.

Fun little project.

Professional blog that has tutorials and highly detailed information.

Ahh read the above please!

A CTF guide. Pretty well written and has slides. Awesome resources. What else can I say?

Another swell blog.

Woa..another..awesome blog..there are too many to count!

Hey kid? Wanna learn how to hex edit like a b0ss?

Nice little pdf for forensics.

A blog that’s a bit dated but has useful information.

xeuhack.com

Dated but useful blog.

haven’t tried this yet but it has great reviews.

Search engine for data scientists.

Best sites to learn from.

Awww yiss ebooks

Might run into errors downloading books.

Full books that are virus free.

That’s all for now! Special thanks to everyone who suggested I make this!

shoutout to the southeast asian girls

  • even though we are underrepresented in all aspects of the media
  • who sees skin whitening products every fucking where
  • who gets told that they don’t look like they’re from [insert SEA country]
  • who feels pressured to lighten their skin
  • who feels they’d never be seen in television because majority of the celebrities are white-passing/light-skinned/skinny
  • who feels that they’re not beautiful because our features are a very far cry from western global beauty standards
  • who feels insecure because of their height
  • who has to bear a racist stereotype everyday

i’m all for encouraging girls to pursue STEM fields but can we stop acting like talent/passion for the arts is inherently less valuable than talent/passion for maths and science thanks

Charities/organisations to avoid:

PETA: They’d rather spend their money on publicity campaigns than on the animals in their care. PETA killed 73.8% of the animals in their care in 2015 (x)

FCKH8: Is a for-profit company that exploits oppressed groups for money. They’re also wildly uninformed, and spread misogyny, cissexism and bi/panphobia, as well as stealing their posts/designs (x)

Autism Speaks: They spend most of their money on researching a way to eliminate autism, heighten the stigma against autism and don’t have a single autistic person on their board (x)

Please support other, better charities, and feel free to add any others you can think of to this.

Susan G. Komen for the Cure: CEO makes insane amounts of money, they deny a lot of requests for wigs/help with treatment/etc., and have attempted to sue other charities that use the color pink as part of their anti-breast cancer campaign. ( x x x )

The Salvation Army: They promote the hatred of LGBT+ people, work with fundamentalist Christian groups to support conservative politics and rip off and exploit workers. ( x x x )

Wounded Warrior: They take money that should be spent on veterans and blow it on huge opulent parties for the company bigwigs. 26 million in 2014 alone wasted! ( x x x )

^ Important reminder to NOT waste any money donating to these groups

Reblogging because of the added info about Wounded Warrior.

I'm of course going to research every one of these extensively myself, but this shows that not everything should be taken at face value.

Things that have helped me (coding related)

jsfiddle - Helps you test out your code instead of using tumbr’s shitty customization page

cssportal - offers a variety of services,including: testing out your css code (gives you a live demo), generators (box-shadow etc) and others

dirtymarkup - Cleans up your code. Basically makes it legible

patternify - creates small patterns (it’s what I use to create my icons). This is honestly my favorite tool.

w3schools, codeacademy, learn-shayhowe, learnlayout - all of these websites help you learn the fundamentals of html/css and more

google - it is literally your best friend. It’ll answer any question you have no matter how vague

stackoverflow- very helpful website. Helps you answer any questions you may have (code related). BUT PLEASE, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SEARCHED YOUR QUESTIONS BEFORE ASKING. These are actual people who are taking their time to answer your questions, and they will take your “question asking” privilege away from you if you abuse it

tutorialzine  codrops- tutorials to help you with coding. It can go from very simple, to “that’s way too much time investment for me”

css-tricks - it’s like a combination of helping you code, to asking questions, to tutorials (this is my favorite website)

behance, dribbble, awwwards - great place to find inspiration

 validator - checks the validity of your code

iconfinder - holy grail of icons. Some are free some aren’t

fount - it can identify any font that a webpage is using

colourcode - just check it out. 

colorlovers- color palette galore 

caniuse- says in the name

Now if you’re trying to see how your code/theme etc looks on different screen resolutions this is how you do.

Google chrome

right click on page then click on inspect or (Ctrl + Shift + I) look for this (it’s the two ipad looking icons)
image
All you have to do now is input in whatever specs you want If you don’t want it anymore, just click it again and it’s gone.

Firefox

click on the menu icon (the 3 lines in the right hand corner)
click developer then responsive design view or (Ctrl + Shift + M)

I hope you found this helpful. Enjoy your day
