What are the best sources for learning programming most efficiently?

Question

What are the best sources for learning programming? more interactively with chapter wise quizzes and stuff like that?
I'm just a newbie and want to give it a shot starting with C programing (since my college wants me to finish it first. After doing some research I also think it's better to start with c. But if u have any other opinion just shoot them; I'd love to knw that) continue till I become a full fledged mobile apps developer.

Answer 1

Sure, try CodeCademy and CodeGamer to pratice more
To be honest the best resource every developer use use the most is google and youtube
Note: the only difference between a senior developer and a junior/ starter developer is that they have more experience and they know how to use google more!

Answer 2

If your college wants you to finish C first, then that alone is a good enough reason to do that first. Personally, I wouldn't have picked C to start with first, in 2021, but since your school wants you to do that then do that.

You're already on a pretty good website to learn it on. Based on your profile, you're only 3% into the C course so I'd finish it to 100% before moving on to your next resource to learn with. It doesn't matter which one you pick, you'll have to put a lot of effort/time into learning it and getting a better understanding of it, especially if you're just now learning how to program in general.

Here is what I do:
- Go through entire course even if you don't understand
- Practice what you could understand/remember
- Go through it again, this time write down anything you don't understand
- Use your list to extensively research/practice those concepts
- Repeat process over and over until you don't have to write anything down on list.
