Comment on Ask HN: How Do I Learn to Type?

Comments

I was around 31 when I decided to teach myself how to type properly. I used to hunt and peck around 30 WPM.

This is the site I used. I went through the entire program in a month or so without skipping any of the core program. After just a few months, I could type around 70-80wpm. After a few more months, I was able to type around 100wpm.

Once I was able to type reasonably well (30-40wpm), I started using the following two sites for practice/fun. These are the sites that helped me build the majority of my speed.

I strongly encourage you to see this through. When you can type without thinking about what you are doing, your productivity will go through the roof.
