Overall great thread! Thanks for everyone's input.

I prefer to use www.codecademy.com

Regardless of the coding language chosen, the best tool for coding efficiency is an excellent code editor. And no - Notepad is not a code editor.

I used to be most effective with Brief - and then Borland bought it, renamed it Codewright and dropped it.

My programming editor of choice now is Slickedit.

As a self-taught programmer, I follow mainly OSSU's (Open Source Society University) curriculum on GitHub. It claims to be a complete education in computer science and has a list of free MOOC courses that you can follow, just like attending university.

I’m also a self taught programmer. Well, sorta... I learned a little on my own and then when I got really serious about it, I used other sources to help me.

For Russian.
1. Stepic.org - russian education resources, equal coursera.
2. Russian language course C++ White Belt (for c++ beginners) - https://www.coursera.org/learn/c-plus-plus-white

Personally, I prefer reading code theory, especially when I was a beginner at coding and often needed some guidance on how to perform one thing or another. An example of such code theory would be this: https://www.bitdegree.org/learn/ . I like that everything is explained step-by=step and it's easy to navigate thanks to the sidebar

My GitHub repository: https://github.com/aromanro?tab=repositories has16 C++ projects targeted at computational physics. I'm working on the 17th now, on Ray Tracing (related with geometrical optics quite well).

Projects range from easy physics topics to quite advanced.

So far my coding is not so good so I usually re-use other programs and add/modify them. Here is good resource to look at some code examples:

code examples in different languages

Thank you very much! This is A LOT of resources. Absolutely what I am looking for.
