New Typing Game: Rebellious Robot
Typing practice requires focus. But sometimes, you need a break between lessons or longer texts. We have added another title to our typing games collection for a change of pace.
Rebellious Robot requires concentration. You need to type the displayed characters in time to get past the obstacles. Keep your eyes on the screen and watch the robot's next move.
It can add variety to computer science classes as a short typing activity. The faster and more accurately you type, the smoother the game feels.
Try a few levels to practice typing speed and accuracy between lessons or longer texts.
Typing lessons for programming: Go and SQL
AgileFingers introduces new programming lessons for Go and SQL. The exercises use code samples, so you can practice touch typing while becoming familiar with the syntax.
Go exercises include practical algorithms. SQL exercises let you practice typing useful queries written for PostgreSQL and MySQL.
This typing practice is for professionals who want to write code fast and with fewer mistakes (more details in the article about touch typing for programmers).
At the same time, AgileFingers has updated typing lessons for Python, JavaScript, PHP, Java, C#, C++, and Bash. In every exercise, you practice typing code, with attention to speed and accuracy.
Muscle Memory: The Secret to Typing Speed
Ever wonder how expert typists type without looking? It is not magic. It is muscle memory.
We've expanded our deep dive into the science of touch typing.
Here is the truth: if you practice with bad form (like using the wrong fingers), you reinforce bad habits. Unlearning those habits can be harder than starting from scratch.
The article explains how to recognize bad touch typing habits and retrain your fingers. You'll also learn how short, daily typing practice helps reinforce correct finger movements and why regular practice matters.
