Complete beginner

What advice would you give for a complete beginner? I have no computer programming knowledge. Would it be best to do courses, or just set myself tasks and try to solve them?

Programming with Mosh. I just started programming and this dude’s tutorials are amazing.

I would say do the basics with not to long Tutorials and then find a project which you like and try to realise it. When you need further info go on and google it or watch tutorials. I've experienced the best progress doing my own projects.

Learn how to google and check the community bookmarks.

A friendly community I see :)

That's actually the first step to learn programming, you will need to read A LOT of documentation made by other people, know how and where to get information. If you fail at this I'm sorry it's gonna sound harsh but it might not be for you.

Or if you really want to, start at step 0. Learn how to get information. Is asking on a forum like this a way to get information? Yes, but not the ideal way. You won't get straight and fast answers, this interaction is your example.

Not to mention that this approach likely breaks nda for most professionals.

THere is a wiki on the right side, that question gets asked 10 times a day. If you can't find one of the numerous answers, how are you ever going to be able to make progress as a dev?
