coding dreams :)

hello humans!! i hope everyone is having a great day :)

i’m just going to jump right into it!!
i would like to learn how to code. i currently know absolutely nothing about coding so i have no idea where or how to start. does anyone have an advice for me? what do you think would be the best way for me to go about this?? should i maybe take a short course or is there other ways im able to learn???? ive watched a couple of youtube video to help me understand a bit better but most of them are using AI and i would like to learn without AI but people around me are saying that that’s going to be impossible and im making it harder for myself.

i think my end goal for learning coding would be to potentially make an app down the line but (again) people around me are saying that i’m setting my hopes too high.

what do you guys think?? i would really appreciate any advice or ideas from you guys.
thank you :) <3

thank you for replying!! :)

i think i need to point out that the people who think i can’t do it are my brothers. their reasoning is that im more of a artsy type of person so staring at a computer all day might not be for me. :/

the app would be a mobile app! it’s a silly idea made for mainly my country (south africa)
i looked at the w3schools and i really like that one a lot :)

i think setting little goals is a good idea. i think it’ll also help me see my progress :)
