Top Pro

Practice the code after each video

After each video, there are a series of challenges that give you a chance to apply what you just learned. The great thing about these challenges are that they force you to think through a problem, and use the new skills to solve it. It's not just regurgitating facts; it requires some effort. See More

The course offers one free level. To continue with the course, you have to subscribe to Code School ($29/month). See More

Human review and feedback

Rather than merely test for code correctness, Exercism uses peer review to improve general programming techniques. Users are encouraged to comment on others' solutions, and refine their own based on feedback. See More

Top Con

Not a good starting place for beginners

It's best to have at least a basic understanding of programming before tackling the exercises on exercism.io. You also have to know how to set up your development environment, as you will be coding everything locally (versus websites that provide you an editor right in the browser). See More

Features:Exercises

Languages:Bash, C, C++, C#, Clojure, Dart, Elixir, Erlang, Go, Java, JavaScript, Kotlin, Python, Ruby, Rust,TypeScript

Top Pro

Practice with production tools

Unlike many code practice websites, Exercism requires the user to develop and test entirely offline, submitting only the finished code. This promotes familiarity with essential tools and workflow, not just the bare language. See More
