Ask HN: Where do I find good code to read to become a better programmer?

2 pointsby newsoulabout 2 years ago
Be it in a book or a video or a github repo, can you list codebases that you think everyone should read to eventually learn to write good and correct code?

What is a good and correct code?<p>At first, the syntax. This depends on the programming language. Which one do you need? I think it wouldn&#x27;t make sense to read java and learn from it to huskel. So your first exercise:<p>Define the language :)<p>Your second exercise is to understand what programming in your language of choice is and the possibilities it gives you. Not everything can be done with all languages the same in terms of difficulty. So basically: what you want to do? Data processing: python. Some fast running code ... Some we code... And so on.<p>And then, you need to find the resources for that language. Easiest way to get started is to write the name of your language of choice and the terms for beginners into the google prompt box.<p>That will give you a plenty of resources you ask for :)<p>(It&#x27;s not possible to give you a proper answer.<p>It&#x27;s like you ask for &quot;what car should I buy and can you tell me the properties of that car.&quot;<p>... Enjoy your dive into logic. I learned python by myself without any videos or Code sites. I just needed the basic samples for a structure and the different data structures. Have fun M8!
