What are the best programming language tutorials?

Regardless of language, what is the best (clearly written, examples smoothly build on each other, easy to understand) guide you have come across?

Background: I am working my way through Hartl's Rails tutorial because of it's high recommendations and want to continue my self-education.




If u need the very best, then go checkout https://vuejs.org. Its not a language, but a framework. It just can't get any better than that. Every tutorial must be written by taking an inspiration from VueJS docs.


I'd have to go with the drRacket one on this: http://docs.racket-lang.org/quick/index.html

I really like it if I can mess around with visual stuff quite soon when learning a new language.
