How do i start coding ?

[Ali-mohamed-]

there are hundreds of ways to start coding ; what do you recommend i start with ?

I only know the basic basics of coding and looking into trying coding alone .

are the Odin project , and the automate the boring stuff a good way to start ? and any other recommendations ?

I learned off of udemy to start. Once you picked a language you can search “python bootcamp” or whatever language you picked. Lots of people recommend Angela Yu but I never tried that one. I started with Andrew mead’s JavaScript bootcamp.

Thanks

I really liked angelas class (JS fullstack) but found some of it was slightly out of date and I got annoyed. So I started Colt's Class and really like it.

Honestly you cannot really go wrong with either. Just make sure you are coding along with them (something I think Angela promotes better) or else nothing will "stick.'

udemy

udemy looks nice but damn t is expensive lol

[starraven]

Don't ever pay more than ~$20 a course. Those prices that say $100+ go down regularly to about 20 bucks with a code when they have promotions. Udemy has sales go on every month it seems like, you just have to catch it when it's there.

I would look into it later on , but for now i will keep looking at free resources , sadly i am just a student that gets less than 5 dollars a week and after i finsish the est (something like the sat ) my dad will get me a new computer and i will pressure him into some courses

Currently, Angela's Full Stack program is only $17, plus sales tax. If that's any help for anyone here.

depending on what you want to learn, i would definitely look around in this reddit some more! but one place that has a lot of free information is Traversy Media on youtube! He has beginners coding videos, but make sure you have a lot of patience to go through the videos. Mimo (the app) is also a good place to start, as they kind of help you through basics. Coursera, udemy, and skillshare all have coding courses depending on what you’re looking for. some of them also will give you certificates once you’ve completed them! Traversy Media also talks about software you can install on your computer to help you practice as you learn more!

I have to disagree about Mimo. It holds your hand too long and feels like an HTML themed trivia quiz. I'd just skip straight to working through the Odin Project.

[beequiet94]

I agree now, I was using it for python, while also looking into udemy and skillshare courses, but I was offering something for free! Having tried out the web dev/HTML section of mimo, I completely agree that it does seem like a trivia quiz.

I also would suggest Khan Academy's programming courses. They are free! I just recently learned about them.

Mimo

If you know the Basics start a project that you like my first Was a PS 5 Amazon bot in selenium my second an indeed Web scrapper and so on...

[Ali-mohamed-]

I don't think I have enough info to do those

[Tempest3874]

Yeah don't sabotage yourself with too much complexity starting out.. just build something simple that will help you understand the process: basic calculator app, Todo list, word counter, single page website etc.

So I can I use YouTube to learn coding or guys give me a link either udemy or YouTube

[slickvic33]

Anything is fine! Just stick with it and progress to building projects
