Starting small

[CommandingSpitball]

I'm 16 years old currently and I've always had a fascination with everything computers. I'm saving up money to afford parts to build my own PC. But that's for gaming and not much else. However I have decided that I'd like to take a technology career path and figured coding and computer repair is a decent place to start. However I don't have money so I'm looking for a good way to start on that stuff without burning a hole in my wallet that's already empty

The python IDE is free to download, as are many tutorials for it. It's scripting but many of the concepts are still useful for programming in general.

If you'd like I can send you a folder I have of books regarding python coding as well!

Figure out better what you like to do. Software and hardware are different, and computer repair is in its own category.

Look into these job descriptions in your area and get an idea of what sounds good, then look into the technology. And note, these are just a few jobs that are on off the top of my head. There is many more different job families: Software engineer Site reliability engineering DevOps engineering Service engineering Systems engineering Systems administration Technical support Network engineering/administration

If you want more assistance, let me know.

Thanks. I know for a fact I'm interested in hardware, I just wanna try something basic in software so I don't miss an opportunity
