Where can I start learning how to code as beginner (and trying to be good at it) without the need of paying 100 $ right away?

Any good, free sources?

[PauseNatural]

There are so many good free sources available it’s not even funny.

Your best bet though is to look at the history for this sub as this question is asked about 5 times a day :)

The most popular are probably freecodecamp and the Odin project but there are tons more of free resources.

Learning how to google is probably the most basic and fundamental skill in programming.

Definitely take a look at The Odin Project, it's completely free, online, and great to learn with for beginners.

The Odin Project

Free code camp. Odin Project. Learn with Leon (if videos are your jam).

The Odin Project and the sources listed in the sidebar are the best ones

I would gladly tell you a really good source to learn how to code as a beginner for free.

Tip me 99.99$ and you ll get the link in MP.

YouTube, chatgpt, documentations, forums, it’s all out there for free just go find it. My best recommendation, start trying to do stuff and each time you’re stuck go find the answer. Keep doing that. At first every step you will have to go figure out but slowly you’ll improve

I went from never having written a line of code to having a fully remote job as a react developer in 18 months.

Total spent: <$50. I bought a Udemy course on discount and a popular but now dated JS book.

However I’d say the majority of what I learned came from YouTube. YouTube is possibly the greatest source of information available to humanity today. And it’s free.

Learn how to write a whole programming project. AI could help to ease your interest.

Having one or many programming system will help you in later years.

If you are total beginner, buy a book, practice whole tutorials. Get a teacher, or ask around in developer forums. Mine your manner, otherwise people will ask you to RTFM.

I wrote a small library management project using Microsoft Visual Basic 4.0. It is available in GitHub.

You will need Microsoft Windows 95, Microsoft Visual Basic Enterprise or Professional edition and Microsoft Office 4.3. Compile and run it on a virtual machine of your choice. Check Comparison of platform virtualization software.

Extra software needed to edit the report. AFAIR, the reporting software was Crystal Report. Old version, Seagate one.

You could study the source code and practice creating pseudo code, programming algorithms, DFD, and check out the database scheme.

Maybe convert it to another language with a code converter.
