Ive dabbled in it a little bit by downloading the latest version of Python and going through some of their course but quickly fell off. Wanted to see if there's a better alternative to learning this.

if you're serious and want to get good, harvard cs50x online course

I'm not a programmer but when I tried to learn it I found a good place to start is codecademy.com

Pretty tough to self learn honestly, but yea code academy is a good one.

literally just youtube + stackoverflow + docs man, there are so many self taught programmers off youtube and googling s*** alone

That course is REALLY tough unless you’re smart asf lol.

Guess I’m just dumb.

java

This. I'm completely self taught and it's my current career. You may want to focus on a front end and back end language.

Might need to go back to trying to learn again. I took some classes in College, but it wasn't my focus

Def gonna try to learn code in my late 20s after I get further with my design skills.

FreeCodeCamp is where I started. If you are interested in web apps. They also have a Python curriculum now.

Really? Sounds awesome

If you want to get started try w3schools.com. They cover a whole lot of languages, but don't go very in depth on any of them. Then once you know the basics try codingame.com. It doesn't have beginner tutorials but if you know the basics it's a great place to improve. It basically has a bunch of mini games where you're given the rules and told to write a program that plays the game. You can even get competitive with it and compare performance with others on the site if I remember correctly.

If you’re interested in web development, I (completely biased) recommend The Odin Project theodinproject.com

Less hand holding than FCC or Codecademy.

I’m also a Core member / maintainer Happy to assist the fam, in discord or otherwise.

Youtube tutorials
MDN/w3schools
Do a project or two in every coding language you learn
Learn web dev first then evolve your career from there on
Be aware that the programming sphere is very very elitist and that you'll spend hours at a time on small bugs because mfers don't wanna respond to your questions cause they consider themselves too smart
Do leetcode exercises for interviews
Coding's not hard but you need to love coding and be very inventive and creative while doing it in order to succeed
It's a great thing to start doing, wish you the best

Genuinely find a tutorial on YT that covers all the basics and build from that
Most courses are advanced enough and meant for people who already know how to code extensively in certain languages

right there with ya op gonna use the odin project for front end dev then build own projects etc try to get a remote job and then kinda bounce around wherever around the world is the plan

Think of something you want to automate on your computer, google until u make it work

As someone whos just a bit further along that process. The most important part is to just get coding.

Spend one week learning the syntax of whichever language youre using then just start making and breaking things.

Best way to learn code is by doing, not by reading

recently started The Odin Project too bro let's get this s***

trying to learn HTML/CSS then Javascript then Solidity

How many hours you setting aside? I work full time as a bartender maybe trying to get a routine going where I do it in the morning for a few hours everyday

mannn you're asking the wrong guy

I suck at time management but I'm also trying to do 3-4 hours per morning. hopefully once I get more into it I'll enjoy it and put more hours in tho

lmao im starting tonight after work letsget it lol

This guy is kinda cringy but imagine working here for a month on the beach so nice

You’re welcome to reach out to me on Discord if you need help with Odin.

You too.
