What resources are available to expand knowledge?

Question

Programming

Background. I am a student of the regional sports school sgpek.ru. I'm studying for the last year as a programmer.
The bottom line is that in programming classes we write programs only to solve mathematical problems. For all the time of learning programming ( here we mean only programming , because with other subjects everything is relative to the norms) we studied only the basics of Delphi and C ++ - variables, branching, loops, arrays, strings, files. The programming environment was Raid Studio ---> we studied the Win-framework VCL (that is, we are not talking about any .NET).
The essence of the question is this: I need resources for self-development as an IT Specialist. That is, information about new technologies, development environments, compilers, frameworks, APIs, programming languages, microcontrollers and processors, etc., etc. And yes: you can give one thing as an example.
A small note regarding programming languages: if the best way to learn a language is documentation, please provide a link to a Russian translation. I don't speak English well enough to translate documentation.

Answer 1

Hello Andrey.
1. Learn English, without it it will be very difficult in all areas now.
2. There are educational platforms such as mit courses, coursera, edx, stepic, technopark (technotrack, technosphere), they will help in the study of areas.
3.Habrahabr, a large number of useful articles on topics of interest to you.
4. Digests and thematic sites on topics that interest you, it's easy to find them.
5. Think about moving to Moscow, St. Petersburg, to places where there are good technical universities and go there. (I myself come from Saransk, this year it will be 10 years since I moved to Moscow)

Answer 2

The fastest (and I think the right) way to learn applied programming is REAL tasks + Google + English (at first Google Translate). An empty reading of the theory does not give absolutely nothing. It's better to make a small application that really works than to read 100,500 programming books.

Answer 3

References (glossaries, manuals)
php.net
php.su
w3schools.com
learnxinyminutes.com
habrahabr.ru - urgent, but detailed full information is not there, only articles on specific topics and review articles.
You learned procedural programming, you still need object-oriented programming.
You need to learn English urgently! You won't get ahead without it! There is a lot of information in English, the primary sources are all in English, there are a lot of treatises by Western experts!

Answer 4

in order not to invent tasks for yourself - you can perform test tasks using the same .Net,
I think you can find enough test tasks on the net.
but the best option is an internship, in the case of students.
