This file contains resources to learn programming and software development. This file is divided into 2 parts - Goal-Oriented and General Purpose.
- Goal-Oriented resources teach you to deliver an output like making a website or an app.
- General Purpose resources teach you a particular language like Python or JavaScript and they also teach you about the general data structures which every programmer should know.
A Goal-Oriented listing has higher priority so if a resource falls in both general purpose and goal-oriented, it automatically goes in goal-oriented and is not duplicated.
