Touch Typing Practice for Programmers.

I'm trying to get my typing speed up. I have used all sorts of touch typing programs but wanted something a little more focused on touch typing as a programmer.

Typing.io has typing lessons that covers 16+ programming languages including Python.

If you sign up ($5 a month) you can add your own code or lessons. I'm using it to upload my Learn Python The Hard Way lessons then type them in using the keyboard/finger map.

This lets me practice the lesson and also lets me practice my typing. You can try it for free to see if you think it's helpful. I think it's kind of expensive but I'm going to try the paid version for at least 1 month.

Check it out.

For regular trying practice I'm trying out Type-Fu.
It's got a nice clean interface and has a great look and feel. The website says it's $10 but when I bought it from the Chrome web store it was $5. This is a one time purchase and can be used offline. You can try it out and even get a refund if you don't like it within 30 minutes.

If these don't work I'm going back to Mavis Beacon... Not Really.
