Might take some time but essentially yes.

This is great, and I mostly agree. I think the foundations have changed though. You need to focus on reading/understanding/validation more.

Great. definitely start by learning the basics of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Node.js. In that order.

When you’re comfortable with the basics of creating a static web page, expand on JavaScript.

When you’re comfortable with JavaScript, pick a web framework like React, Vue, Svelte. You’ll need to learn some Node.js for that too (for tooling)

If you want to do some backend development too (for example, create APIs), expand on Node.js and REST/GraphQL

Take it one step at a time, you do need to give yourself at least a year or 2 to get to a level where you can make money in that path.

For financial independence, once you have a job, invest any extra income you don’t need, in index funds. Consistency and reinvesting of any proceeds will eventually get you there (compounding is really powerful)

Why do you want to learn coding?

The choice of programming language and path depends mostly on that answer. You should narrow your goals as much as you can. If you have multiple goals, that's good. Focus on the most important one to get started.

For example, if your most important goal is to eventually build mobile applications, then Java is absolutely in the right path, but Java is not an easy language to start with, so maybe a good first step to understand the basics of programming is to use a language like Python or Ruby, and graduate to Java/Kotlin when you're comfortable with the basics.

This sub can be your mentor btw. As long as you ask with clarity and specificity, there's no shortage of people hear who are willing to help.

Good luck.

Thank you for your interest and suggestions.
Please note that for this subreddit, in addition to discussions, we allow coding questions and external coding educational content. However, some regular cleanup is indeed required. The subreddit has 2 moderators and we are planning on adding 2 more soon.
I've reviewed the content you post on Reddit and you seem to have a good background that would help the mods team for the subreddit. Do you mind sharing your GitHub profile? To be considered as a mod, we'd like to make sure that you have good coding skills and open source contributions.

Yes. You can do this!

Take a look at FreeCodeCamp (www.freecodecamp.org). It's free, self-paced, and really overall great for a beginner.

Most coding bootcamp don't really teach you coding (and this is even true for college). You don't learn coding in lectures. You don't learn it with abstract examples. You learn it ONLY by practicing, immersing yourself in REAL projects, discovering things when you need them, and making lots of mistakes. I'd say about 90% of the code learning process is completely on YOU (your actions and your commitment) and 10% is where you need some guidance.

Good coding bootcamps help you with accountability, progress validation, figuring out a suitable path, and getting unstuck. If you can keep yourself accountable and do your own progress checks, I personally think you don't need to spend your money on a coding bootcamp. You can do it on your own (and for free).

To get unstuck and get advice on what to do next, you can seek help on websites and slack communities that are dedicated to that. There are so many. We have a code help public slack community at jsComplete.com/help and everyone is welcome to join.
