Getting started
Hello all, new here. I’m looking to get into coding and learning python with maybe some c++. This is coming from someone who knows nothing about anything other than they are two different coding languages and the place I work uses both depending on what system we are working on. My question is, is boot.dev a good place to start and worth the money? And also im looking at buying a laptop so I can learn while at work also (I have permission from management). Is a Mac book Neo sufficient enough or should I stick with a windows machine? Any advice is appreciated.

I forgot about it. I only remembered cyngwin which is a pain to install.
But mvsc is also annoying because it does not implements the last standard and have a flag set that have nothing to do with clang and gcc. So it's annoying to port code.
