Involve in Programming

Where to start programming? How to be involved in programming?  What programming might offer me? How do i learn the basics?.....
These are the basic things that a newbie questions when they start programming. But for most others, they don't know programming.

Programming is a art in computing that offers you the ability to make the computer work as you wish.  But if you wish to know more exact definition:

Programming involves activities such as analysis, developing understanding, generating algorithms, verification of requirements of algorithms including their correctness and resources consumption, and implementation of algorithms in a target programming language.

For programming, we require programming languages. These languages are like human languages except that they are used to communicate with computer i.e. these languages though are syntactically similar to the human readable form, they are ultimately converted to machine readable language. Further discussion about these areas will be discussed in next blog.
There are several programming languages such as C, C++, Java, Python, Swift, C#, PHP, Javascript and several other more than we can ever learn in our life.  As a matter of fact, lets' not move into that deep part and what I am trying to specify in this section is the using of programming languages.
It requires a lot of effort into programming. You have to be involved in every aspects in programming. Most of all, to better understand about programming we have to practice as much as we can and as soon as we begin learning programming, we must push ourselves deep into the sector. And for this we have to have practice using them.
The list below are some of the sites that offer programmers a competitive environment where they can use their understanding to better tackle the problems or compete with as well as learn programming.

1. HackerRank 
It is the community for learning languages and competition among programmers. Also it might land you a job.

2. CodeChef
CodeChef was created as a platform to help programmers make it big in the world of algorithms, computer programming and programming contests. It hosts three featured contests every month and give away prizes and goodies to the winners as encouragement.

3.  HackerEarth
HackerEarth is a network of top developers from the world.

4. SyntaxDB
SyntaxDB is a programming reference that allows users to quickly look up syntax for programming languages. SyntaxDB is designed for programmers who often need to do a Google search for their syntax needs.

5. CodinGame
CodinGame: "Our goal is to let programmers keep on improving their coding skills by solving the World's most challenging problems, learn new concepts, and get inspired by the best developers."

These are only some of the sites that help to learn, compete, develop skills in the field of programming. Web is a large collection and under which there are many things to look for. So keep surfing web...
Thanks!!
