Programming Roadmap

Computer Programming (CSP) is a research hub focused on the practical application of logic. To communicate logic with a computer, you must use a specific medium called a programming language. Each language has its own unique syntax and a specific "way of thinking" required to solve problems. We study many programming languages, take notes and explain the language for our community.

Target Audience

Anyone who wishes to learn how to code is welcome, including students, freelancers, engineers, or teachers. This research hub provides a comprehensive, beginner-friendly lab for each language. If you have a foundation in mathematics and logic, you can master these programming languages regardless of your background.

The Curriculum

The CSP hub features 15 popular programming languages. We advise beginners to start with Go, Julia, or Dart. Each lab includes a difficulty rating to guide your path. We recommend learning one language at a time; mastering a language and passing its 100-question quiz earns you a Certificate of Completion.

Popular Languages

The following panel enumerate most popular languages. The star ratting you can see for each language is to appreciate the language difficulty, and is not a rating of the lab quality. Most difficult languages have 5 stars, most simple languages have one or two stars. Arguable you can start with any language, but we suggest you start with Go, Julia, Dart or Python, languages with less than or equal to three stars, before dive into more complex languages.

Other Languages

Previously to 2020 we use to offer tutorials for more languages. We no longer maintain these tutorials and don't recommend these languages for beginners. If you're proficient in any of these languages and interested taking over the maintenance, review this content. We welcome contributions. When you contribute, we will promote your work on our social media channels.
