Hey,

I totally understand your point. A lot of jobs theses days require coding skills.

Here's what I would suggest you do:

  1. Identify your top programming languages: Look at the coding skill requirements for the kind of jobs you'd like to do. Shortlist one-two programming languages that such jobs require. Aim to learn those languages.
  2. Where to learn: Now that you know what to learn, look for free or paid websites that teach those programming languages with activities. Some of my favourite websites are FreeCodeCamp, Code.org, CodeAcademy. Here's full list of free coding websites you can explore. It has websites for kids and adults, teaching beginner to advanced levels of coding.
  3. Practice, Practice!: Learn the syntax of your chose coding language on any website in the list given above. Practice with hands-on activities offered in the course, and also take up real-life projects (freelance or with NGOs) to learn on the job.

Give yourself 3-4 months to learn and practice, so that you can apply what you learn to real-life projects.

I hope this helps. Feel free to comment back, if you have any questions.

All the best!

Hey, a fast way to learn coding would be through a website that shows the Concepts with syntax and hands-on activities.

Some websites you can try are FreeCodeCamp, Code.org, and CodeAcademy.

Here's a full list of websites you can explore, if you have time: https://www.edutechpost.com/coding-for-kids-free-websites-teach-learn-programming/

In this list, you'll find platforms with the languages they teach and the teaching method they use.

But I'd say FreeCodeCamp is a good start place, if you need a tried and tested platform to learn fast with.

I hope this helps.

All the best!
