This is a repository for basic projects that I use to teach students at my work. All new projects are appreciated and loved, however it really helps to leave a description as to what your program does! Thanks!

Matt's Super List of Programming Projects

For submissions: All new projects are appreciated and loved, however it really helps to leave a description as to what your program does! Thanks!

The repository you have found is a list of projects I teach my students at "The Coder School" in California. That list can be found right here! Some of the beginning projects should have a README.md file listing the purpose of the project, what is learned from it, and an example output. If you think there should be changes in some of the projects, please make a pull request. NOTE These projects are made for students who are just learning the basics of programming. My youngest student to work on these has been 6 years old. If you're going to make a pull request because my project has an obscene Big O, odds are I did not make it with efficiency in mind but rather ease of understanding for those who are learning.

If you're new to programming and need to know where to get started, I recommend hopping into the Python folder and beginning to read the README.md of each folder. Need a place to write your code? If you're running Windows, MacOS, or Linux, you can likely install PyCharm Community Edition for developing in Python, Eclipse for Java and/or C++, or use a text-editor and compile things through the terminal. If you're not interested in installing a development environment, or need something a bit quicker to access, I recommend http://repl.it for a really quick and friendly way to get into a development environment.

Interested in contributing, but unsure of how?

What you can do is hit "Fork" in the top right, and that will create a copy of the repository that you can contribute to. You can clone your repository using git clone https://github.com/<yourusername>/TCS-Projects.git to whatever directory you're in. Make the changes, and then use git add *, git commit, and git push to send it back to your Github repository. Finally, you can make a pull request at this repository which will give me the chance to read your code and add it to the repo.

Happy Coding!
