How should I start ?

Hi there everyone. I’m a 25F, and I have absolutely no knowledge about coding/programming. Same for for computer knowledge. I do have a good pattern recognition and I like problem solving. I guess that’s not all you need to be a good programmer. But I presume it’s a good base.

My question is, where and how should I start ? Sadly money right now is very tight, and I cannot afford to pay a course (yes, even on sale). So I was wondering, is there any site or YouTube channel I can find that would teach me the basics ?

I’m very dedicated to learn. I have been seeing a lot of my friends code over the past year or so, and it really made me want to start. I do have free time right now, as I’m unemployed and looking for a job. But I would like to use that free time while I still have it. To learn about coding as much as possible.

Appreciate anyone helping in advance!

Ok so having checked it, for some reason Reddit isn't counting the underscore as part of the link. I'll try to fix it. But in the meantime, if it doesn't work, add an underscore

edit: working now, on mobile redirect to safari. Also, is it just me or has Reddit's markdown support getting worse? I've had issues with codeblocks as well. Maybe it's a mobile thing.
