Programming Academy
You've seen how programs think with flowcharts. Now write them the way programmers do: Python, Java, C and C++, and HTML, CSS, JavaScript and React for the web, and SQL for databases, one short lesson at a time, with your code running right on the page.
New to programming? Start with flowcharts and come back when you're ready.
The friendly language behind websites, science and AI.
Learn Python one short lesson at a time: read a little, write a little code, run it, and check it. From your first print() to functions, classes, files and projects of your own.

The language every web page is made of.

Make pages do things: clicks, games and live data.
Learn JavaScript, the language of the web: first the language itself (variables, decisions, loops, functions, arrays and objects), then make real web pages respond to clicks and typing, and build games and apps.

Build apps from components, like the big websites do.

Ask questions of a database, the way every app does.
Learn SQL with real tables: students and marks, a canteen, a library, the IPL, then a shop and a company. Pick rows, sort them, add them up and join tables, then change data and design your own tables. Every query runs right on the page.

The language under phones, cars and operating systems.
Learn C the way college courses teach it: printf and scanf, decisions and loops, arrays and strings, functions, pointers and structs, each with a program to write and run right on the page. Then put it all together in projects.

The language of games, browsers and fast apps.
Learn C++ with a real compiler right on the page: cout and cin, decisions and loops, arrays, vectors and strings, functions and references, then classes, inheritance and templates. Then put it all together in projects.

Short lessons with an example to look at: a few minutes each, no walls of text.
Type it in the editor right next to the lesson. Python, JavaScript, Java, C, C++ and SQL run in your browser, and web pages show as you type: nothing to install.
Run shows what your code does. Submit answer checks it, and Next unlocks when it passes. Stuck? The ? buttons give hints one at a time, without giving it away.
