Codewars programming is a solid fan. Earn points, increase your rating, create clans. The author of the article offers to join his clan (you can see which one in the original article). I, on the other hand, urge you to join the HTML Academy clan, of course . The resource offers a huge selection of tasks in more than 20 programming languages. On codewars you can discuss tasks with other players, as well as see alternative solutions.

2. HackerRank
