I really like: https://exercism.org/  Note: It covers _lots_ of languages.

 

Partly because it encourages a test driven development approach to learning. Its not really a tutorial or a lesson based approach. Instead you're set a task to solve and have to work out the algorithms yourself. It uses test to help drive you towards a solution and verify if you have solved it or not. There's also an opportunity to get feedback from the community on your solution.

 

Its good for teaching you the language, but less so the frameworks around that language. That is still on you to learn. Its not just beginner level either. Some of the tasks are pretty tricky to solve.

 

Best of all, the cost: free.

Scratch is a brilliant platform. I highly recommend it.

@quickymart a touch off topic... see if your son can qualify for this: https://www.jetbrains.com/community/education/#students

Rider is a fantastic C# IDE.

Thanks for the suggestions, I think he may have found something free to learn on. Will see how he goes 🙂

Morning,

 

My boy (now 11) is getting into coding using Unity, a package I am completely unfamiliar with.

 

He tells me he is having issues adding a navmesh component (ie, a file) into Unity. He has tried a few online guides but can't figure it out.

 

Has anyone else tried this and can maybe point him in the right direction?

 

Thanks in advance 🙂
