A Programmer’s Site

CodeChef

CodeChef is India's first, non-commercial, multi-platform online coding competition, featuring monthly contests in more than 35 different programming languages. It is a Programmer’s heaven. It is now open to US users too. An ultimate place to learn for free, show your skills for free, and also earn while learning. The image below explains exactly what this site has to offer.

Now, that I am not a professional programmer, I may not be able to explain each and every detail of the site, but for sure I can say that it is very useful for those who are into programming or want to learn. Monthly there are competitions set up on various topics of programming and a winner is selected at the end of the month. there are basically two different types of competitions.

• Traditional Programming
• Gamer’s Programming

For rest of the time there is a practice area, a help section too where you would get help on coding, on a few codes pre-written for examples. Also over and above this there is a Practice Section divided into three sections of Easy, Medium and Hard. Each section would contain a few topics depending on the difficulty. Answers from various users are also given there, so the learning process can continue there itself.

The other big advantage is the discussion forums. Its a very active forum and a well managed one too… Enjoy coding.
