Welcome!
I want to learn to code! In doing a bit of research I’m
gathering the information I’ll need to finally get started, and I’d like to
share it with you what I’m learning along the way, especially if you too are a
beginner and you are not sure where to start.
1st, I read that the first thing to do is to figure out what it
is you’d like to code. Have an end goal in mind. Do you want to build an App?
Website? Game? Etc. Just try to figure out what you want to do so you will get
an idea of what you’ll need to learn. For example, I’m curious about building
Apps and Websites.
2nd,This is optional, but consider taking a free
Computer Science online course to get a better understanding of computer
science and learn about the different languages involved. Here are courses that
you can take for free and most at your own pace.

HTTP-The language used to build webpages.
CSS-The language used to design webpages.
Javascript-The Language used to program.

Top 10 Languages for Web Development, with their top five
languages included at the bottom.
Top Languages for App Development
Good blog on Game Development
HTTP/CSS, JAVASRCRIPT, JAVA, PHP, C++, C#, PYTHON….seemed to
be the most common used programming languages. Again, it seems its best to
figure out what you’d like your end goal to be and work from there doing
research.
A few free resources on the internet for learning coding
are.
Youtube resources

And so many more…
Anyway, I hope this proves to be somewhat helpful and
useful. I definitely plan on getting started myself and possibly updating the
blog with what I’ve learned and what’s good to know. Happy learning!
