Exercism

http://exercism.io/

Download and solve practice problems in over 30 different languages. Submit the solution to the site for feedback (beta). For code newbies and experienced programmers. Learning to program is exhilarating and challenging… and also frustrating, exhausting, and overwhelming. Exercism provides countless small wins. The exercises are achievable mini-quests: small and well-defined, and with enough complexity to uncover bite-sized knowledge gaps. The solutions you write provide reviewers with clues about what you haven’t grasped yet. The feedback you receive will guide you to relevant study topics and dramatically increase the ease with which you write code.

Tutorials and Education

careercup

https://www.careercup.com/about

CareerCup’s founding was more accidental than anything else. Back in 2005, when Gayle Laakmann McDowell was graduating college, a friend two years younger asked her to keep some notes on where she was interviewing and what she thought of each company. Gayle did that, but also decided to record all the interview questions (which you can still see). Word got out about this list of interview questions, and pretty soon it became faster to post it online than to email around a Word doc. (After all, engineers are all about efficiency!) Then people discovered this page (which was, at that time, just hosted off her personal website) and traffic grew. And then other people started to contribute their questions. Slowly, bit by bit, it evolved into the CareerCup we know and love.

Interview Cake

https://www.interviewcake.com/data-structures-and-algorithms-guide

This is not a freaking textbook. No confusing academic jargon. No long lists of properties to memorize. No proofs. Because that stuff doesn’t help you actually get it. Here’s what does: Learning what to picture in your head when you think of a dynamic array or a hash map. Learning how to think in algorithms. That’s what this guide is focused on—giving you a visual, intuitive sense for how data structures and algorithms actually work. So if you’ve got a big coding interview coming up, or you never learned data structures and algorithms in school, or you did but you’re kinda hazy on how some of this stuff fits together… This guide will fill in the gaps in your knowledge and make you say, “Oooh, that’s how that works.” We’ll walk you through it all, step by step. Starting from the beginning.
