Programming

Nice tutorials for some programming languages

• C, C (Learn C the Hard Way)
• C++
• Python (Learn Python the Hard Way), Python (Dave Kuhlman), or, for more basic (AfterHours)
• R

I'm a big believer in good coding standards. Although PEP8 is the only official style guide listed here, the others are all still helpful

• C: from Eno Thereska, Apache
• C++: from Google
• Python: official (PEP8), from Google
• R: from Google
• LaTeX: from Rouben Rostamian
