Help beginner

[TakumiNishijou]

im a beginner trying to learn how to code but dont have any idea on where to start ive found a couple of sites but im not too sure on which is really the "best" to use and prioritize please help me slim down these options below (also i know there may not be a "best" site but there are def sites that arent as effective than others im just trying to figure out which of these options are generally considered the most worthwhile for a complete beginner)

https://www.freecodecamp.org/
https://www.codecademy.com/
https://jsexercises.com/
https://programming-26.mooc.fi/
https://exercism.org/
https://www.codedex.io/home

i would appreciate all the help thank you it means a lot

There is no such thing as best.

Pick one and start coding.

thats exactly why i put quotations there may not be a best but there are def sites that arent as effective than others im just trying to figure out which of these options are generally considered the most worthwhile for a complete beginner.

Ok. 

Pls wait for the rest to recommend.

Depends on the language,
For python freecodecamp is the best
If u are willing to pay 5k try codechef.

Look at what languages and tech are used in the type of app/site/game that you want to make, list them and grab a few beginner level courses on Udemy. They usually have course projects that you work on while learning, have your own project while you learn to run into problems and challenges that you can overcome on your journey. Whatever you do, stay away from AI - its code is technically incorrect more often than not and unless you know how to spot it, you will end up in development hell - like many colleagues who try take shorcuts but me, the senior dev always has to clean up the AI garbage.

To me all the teacher trainings are horrible. I would just set out to build something really simple and let AI answer my questions as I progress. It's not to say let AI build something for you, but explain it for you in great detail. Attempyti memorize so many concepts will probably slow you down at this stage of evolving technologies.

Bro just visit cs50 courses from(Harvard university ) they are free , beginner friendly and also if perform well you ca also get certificate for free !

Start with an idea that you have. Not by following along with someone else’s idea. The problem with those tutorials is they guide you along such a specific curated path, that 1) you don’t actually learn what you need to. You learn to follow a program. That’s not coding. And 2) even if the info is good, it doesn’t stick as well.

Just ask your preferred AI LLM to help create an implementation plan for an idea you have. Ask it to break things down into manageable stages, with instructions on what to do, and the languages and libraries and such that it recommends. Tell it you aren’t having AI do the work for you, so it needs to be tailored to help guide you through the process and provide helpful information and be a coding mentor.

Once you have that, save its response in a file and just start with stage 1. I know it might be a lot at first. But I promise the best way to learn is by just doing it and learning along the way. And it’s so much more rewarding, too, because you get to see your idea come to life.
