@op i started on skillshare with a free trial. was writing my own scripts within a month

now i have a raspberry pi that runs my automation scrips daily. i swear by the online learning. you def get what you put into it though

i’ve learned python and now javascript this way

this too

deadass

this and learning the basics in IT/compsci class

What do you want to do with coding? I have several answers

Yall wanna have a ted talk this or next weekend on a path to starting a career in coding?
I can share a solid learning plan, resources, answer questions, and show and discuss the day to day of an sde. I work for amazon and i don't have a degree so it will be from that perspective.

I’m interested in hearing about this.

github.com/EbookFoundation/free-programming-books

Go for it

In

I'm a software engineer. If you can I recommend trying to learn by doing.

If you have any project ideas try and just youtube your way into make every bit of it. Once you're done you will have learned a lot. Then you can read a book after and it will all make. alot more sense

this is the way.

If you want a good book to start from: Python Crash Course by Eric Mathes was what I used. But after you learn the basics just google specific stuff you wanna learn, look for projects on youtube and start doing little projects

Also if anyone here doesnt want to get into full stack, learn excel + SQL + Python or R + Statistics. This will get you a Data job fairly easily and it doesnt take a lot of time

Hell yeah.

chiming in to share a good resource
github.com/Michael0x2a/curated-programming-resources/blob/master/resources.md

another resource: github.com/tuvtran/project-based-learning.

w3schools.com
& stackoverflow
where i learned most tbh

kirupa.com/learn/index.htm is probably the friendliest resource you'll find. Kirupa is an internet OG!

Learning HTML & CSS now

For those with some programming understanding trying to get into web development I recommend
fullstackopen.com/en

I just started today what should i expect from it

I’ve since moved on from this organization, I’m returning home from travel but I can give you a detailed answer on this tomorrow if that’s cool.

For sure would be greatly appreciated

What are you planning to do with it?

Two purposes rly, in my future career as a psychologist it would give me a lot more independence if i wanna do research (would give me an advantage if i end up wanting to do a phd as well), i'm also interested in health psychology and educational psychology and designing apps is a big part of that nowadays, so that would give me another advantage there

And of course maybe i end up liking coding so much i wanna get a straight up full time web dev career, but i think that's less likely

Working remote for a year or two doing web dev traveling all over would be fye tho

You’re going to be a psychologist
Great working field. I’ve had to use them too often tho

Knowing how to code is great. And could definitely help you in the cases you described. If you’re into apps, I wouldn’t start with web design. Personally I hate HTML/CSS and it makes me feel braindead. But it’s the most easy, so that could help when you’re starting.

I’d suggest to try and start with something like Python or Java. Or if you have a Mac: Swift. That’s the language used for iOS and Mac apps. Apple has some great tutorials.

If you like it, you’ll have plenty of fun learning it
