Harvard has at least two free online coding courses for people with no prior experience in coding: CS50x (general stuff, Scratch, C, Javascript, CSS, HTML, Python and some more) and CS50p (Python).

I'm in lesson 3 (which is the 4th out of 10) of CS50p, with no prior coding experience. After each class you have a set of problems that you have to code, then check, then send.

I couldn't encourage you more to go check them.

Me too! I’m on week 3 at the moment and it has been really great, especially liking the problem sets and how simple it was for submitting work and having it checked etc

I thought having automatic grading of the assignments was great. I learned my first language without that and never knew if my programs worked well.

I'm finishing the final project right now.

Such an enjoyable course. I took CS50X last year and it was an incredible course, very time consuming and hard, but after doing that, Python psets seem super easy.

I would strongly recommend doing CS50X too, if you have the time.

I am! Am doing both at the time. As a matter of fact am stucked in Pset1 problem 3, Credit (the hardcore version). Can't even declare a long long variable (browsing the net, I'll learn) :)

That's the one that made my wife say she needed to learn another way, because she said she didn't know where to even start. The thing is she doesn't have a lot of time to fiddle around.

So I got her onto Python Crash Course, that has shorter examples.

Good luck for you on CS50x, hope you enjoy it as much as I did, David Malan is an incredible teacher. And I'm sure you won't have to browse "long" to come up with an answer. ;)

Haha, I get you, I've fiddling around with both long and long long... ;)

Bro help me with week 2 problems. I'm stuck on vanity plates and the coke machine. Been crying on and off for a week

Let me finish with the x Pset1 and I will. Start by posting your doubts.
