I code in python so these are the sites and places I look for help (sorry all C and C# people): In terms of general coding questions or problems I would recommend Stack Overflow (basically Reddit for coding), GeeksForGeeks (good explanations of functions and syntax and W3schools (similar to GeeksForGeeks). In terms of cipher challenge specific I would definitely recommend ‘A book on classical cryptography’ by our dear madness but that does require a decent prior understanding of concepts such as File Handling and dictionaries. I would not advise using AI for your code not only as it’s against the rules of the challenge but it’s not all that good at recognizing its own mistakes and the chances are you will have to spend hours debugging the code it gave you anyway. Hope I could help.
