This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the methodological advantages of using hybrid (blended) and online platforms in teaching programming. In the modern digital educational environment, combining traditional classroom instruction with distance/online resources has become increasingly important for developing students' programming competencies. The article examines four core models of hybrid learning (rotation, flex, flipped classroom, enriched virtual), the specifics of their application to programming instruction, six didactic types of online platforms (LMS, automated code-checking/online-judge systems, interactive tutorials, video courses, version-control systems, gamified platforms), and the theoretical-methodological foundations grounded in constructivist learning theory, cognitive load theory, and the Community of Inquiry model. Traditional, online, and hybrid learning formats are compared across seven criteria. The findings indicate that the hybrid model helps reinforce students' practical skills, accelerates feedback between instructor and student, ensures individualized learning, and offers particular benefits when mastering complex paradigms such as object-oriented programming.
