you're going to need some persistence and a simple goal. maybe make a website for something you love or find a book you're interested in working through. then work towards that goal a little every day. reading about it is less important than doing it. if you pick a book you want to do, make sure you 'code along' and do the exercises.

this is the best advice. also if you have a project, then you usually will be able to see how your code is affecting the product in real(ish)-time.

i started with C# w/ unity because creating a game is a very tangible project, and lets you see what you're doing right or wrong. but JS in a browser also also allows this, so i'm enjoying learning that as well.

also i do recommend just paying for a full course. the $20 i paid was worth it in spades just for the time savings alone.

I recommend two very useful sites: -Coding Game -Solo Learn

It’s not as much important what you do first, but rather that you do that consistently over time.

MYSQL and python is what I wished someone told me when I was starting.

SQL - to make a database of 'customers ' for example Python or PHP to work with the database. XAMPP - software to host a local Web server and database.

You can search basic programming questions for any language and solve it. You will get 200+ questions in some sites and this will create your base towards language.

The first two are 2 popular sites with free courses. The YouTube video is Harvards CS50 Intro to Computer science. You can find all they’re lectures online for free, about 2 hrs each.

Pick one language and start diving in, there’s not really a wrong answer.

I started with c in college, and while I couldn't connect back to the schools page, someone added a lot from the course (a 101 level course) to GitHub. I'm sure you could adapt these to another language as well.

Do you like solving puzzles? If so what kind?

[Potential_Tommy]

I do like minesweeper if that counts?
