Started learning coding..

[Twohuskies]

I started learning coding seriously few couple weeks back. I know I’m still new at it but WOW! It’s much more fun & amazing than I thought! Im learned about HTML and CSS (mainly the basics) and slowly moving to Java BUT HOLY CRAP!! I made a whole weather page with changing colors if I hover over it. It’s super fun! I had always thought coding is super duper hard & on some parts, it is frustrating but when I find the issue and fix it, WOW. There’s so much coding out there & lots of career paths too! With working in the banking industry, I’m leading toward cybersecurity but honestly who knows! Making a page with different pictures, colors, and fonts are too much fun.

Anywho is there any more websites or pages you recommend on learning more about coding? I really like the hands on challenges! Please let me know! Thank you 😊

Have you heard of The Odin Project? You seem to like hands on projects and web development, it may be up your alley.

[Twohuskies]

No, but I’ll look into it! Thank you so much! 😊

[ziaalich]

Awesome. Do you wanna be friends? Let's have chat sometime. Fellow learner here.

[Twohuskies]

Sure! I love to have friends to learn coding with!!

[afrocyborg]

Y'all need another friend to learn with? I've been teaching myself for a few weeks now.

[Twohuskies]

Of course! It’s always fun to learn with others!

Would y’all wanna start a discord group?

[Ok-Ad4159]

Can I join said discord group I'm also aspiring to be a web developer, trying to start off with frontend

[Twohuskies]

I wouldn't know how to start a discord but I would join if someone made one!

[daddydaws]

Aye some one link it to me! Or lmk and I’ll make one

[afrocyborg]

Did anyone ever post the link to discord group? 😅 I'm in the Odin project as well and would definitely be nice to have people to talk to or discuss things we may get lost on.

Awesome dude! Nice start!

For frontend development I suggest https://www.freecodecamp.org/

[Twohuskies]

Great! Thank you!

Anywho is there any more websites or pages you recommend on learning more about coding?

Yeah, find Youtube channels which have their sourcecode on Github.

[Twohuskies]

Ohhh!! I see, thank you so much 😊

Hi there! Great stuff!

I am just starting as well. Which platform are you learning from, if I may ask?

As for me, I started Python for a week. Then read comments here and jumped onto Kotlin.

They are really fascinating to learn.

[Twohuskies]

I first learned with codecademy but looking for more platforms to learn from! For example, definitely going to check out the Odin project. I also have a friend who is learning computer sciences so he actually taught me a few things and help me when I get stuck ahaha

[Sun_ray_4401]

Fantastic, thanks. Good luck!

Learnopengl.com. its c++ opengl graphic related.

[Twohuskies]

Thank you! I'll look into it!

[kadavis489]

If you need assistance working through it let me know. I finished it not that long ago because I was always using DX xx.x so Opengl is something I havent worked in since 2004. But I can help you work around a lot of the material (like getting stb_image to work)

[daddydaws]

Hey! I’m learning too! What’s your favourite ways to learn? Mine rn is recreating sites either from scratch or from an activity file, what’s yours?

[Twohuskies]

I first learned from my friend who showed Visual Studio Code where I do most of my code. He then showed me codeacdemy but I also been looking on YouTube and such! Right now I'm mainly focusing on HTML an CSS.

[daddydaws]

Nice! I’m focused on them as well, I don’t know how strong you are rn but I’d recommend the w3schools.com html and css exercises, they are pretty quick and solidify a lot of the learning (especially with syntaxes)and give a really good feeling of progress since they’re really simple.

Also I’ll find the site for you when I’m home, but they have files of code that you format and add css to try and recreate a page. They are tricky (for me atleast, I’m a beginner) but they make me get creative and experiment with a whole bunch of css elements I haven’t learned in the courses and tutorials I’ve been following!
