For an economic cybernetics specialist, programming is not just a supplementary skill, but a primary tool for building complex econometric models and analyzing large datasets. However, reading textbooks cannot replace actually writing code. Today, we’d like to introduce you to a platform that will help make your practice systematic and engaging—Exercism.
🚀 What is Exercism and how does it work?
It’s an international platform with a 13-year history, created exclusively to teach you to “think in code.” Unlike resources where you just watch videos, here you solve problems.
- 82 programming languages: from Python and R—which we need—to SQL or C++.
- Flexibility: you can write code directly in your browser or work locally via the terminal (CLI), just like a real pro.
- Automation + mentoring: after you solve a problem, the system instantly checks your code, and at certain stages, you can get feedback from real mentors who’ll show you how to make your code cleaner and more efficient.
💰 What’s the catch?
The platform is completely free. There are no hidden subscriptions or paid tiers—just pure practice and community growth.
