Re:Ask HN: How to take notes? on Wednesday July 15, 2020 @09:22AM (#23844821)
Depends partly on how you learn, generally a better approach to learning a programming language (from my perspective) would be to work on a project or some problems that way you will have runnable code in that language that you can reference back to at any point. If you do take programming notes it is also useful to capture edge cases or syntax comparisons either against two languages or different approaches you can take in a single language rather than just noting down syntax.

Having said that I have in the past captured a Syntax file for a programming language I was learning e.g: https://github.com/harveytoro/TIL/blob/master/go/syntax.md

But more recently if I just want to refresh my knowledge on the syntax of a language I use: https://learnxinyminutes.com which has syntax cheatsheets for a lot of languages

Re:Ask HN: Learn Distributed Systems Interactively on Tuesday May 26, 2020 @02:55AM (#23308182)
Raft has a visualisation that you can interact with to understand it better https://raft.github.io/

Also might be worth checking out https://github.com/theanalyst/awesome-distributed-systems not sure if any of these resources are interactive though.

Re:Ask HN: Introductory programming books for a young kid? on Saturday December 27, 2014 @04:07AM (#8802129)
Take a look at http://www.codecademy.com and http://code.org/learn

There not books but they are a good place to start.

Re:Ask HN: What do you use to organize your knowledge? on Monday May 05, 2014 @03:47AM (#7697395)
Github repository, I wrote a simple app to pull in a repo and I can view, edit and delete and also create new files. All the files are markdown so I can export to PDF or HTML if I need them outside the app.
