What is it?

Project Based Learning is a curated collection of programming tutorials in which readers build a working application from scratch rather than only reading about concepts. The entries are grouped by primary language, including C/C++, Go, Python, JavaScript, Rust, Java and many others, and some tutorials span several technologies at once.

The projects range from small exercises such as a shell, a text editor, a key-value store, a hash table or a Lisp interpreter, to larger builds like a chat app, a Redis clone, a TCP/IP stack or a compiler written in stages. Most entries link to external blog posts, video series or course pages hosted by their original authors.

The list is maintained as a community resource, with contribution guidelines for adding or updating tutorials and a scheduled link-checking workflow to catch broken links.

Key features

  • 01Tutorials grouped by programming language, from C/C++ to Swift
  • 02Step-by-step builds such as shells, interpreters, compilers and databases
  • 03Coverage of web, networking, game, OpenGL, data science and machine learning projects
  • 04Links to external blog posts, videos and courses from original authors
  • 05Scheduled link-rot checks to keep resources current

Use cases

  • Learning a new language by building a small but complete project in it
  • Finding a project idea to practice a framework such as React, Flask or Spring Boot
  • Studying how systems like shells, compilers or key-value stores are built internally
  • Preparing hands-on portfolio projects after reading introductory material
