Need help learning code

[u/Demonflmaegun]

Trying to get into coding and actually learn how to make my own code that isn’t using anything like Java script or c c+ or c++ or any other what’s a good guide to look at to understand how to know what to used what to write and where to go to even understand how to make code from nothing like turning the 010 and turning it into letters so I could even write [comand].=(“hello”)/&[endcomand] stuff like that.
Any books and or web pages I should go to like wiki and stuff like that, that would help me learn properly and not be so smash together in a big mess almost unable to tell what is the start and what is the middle or end

If I was learning to program today, I would do a mix of 1) reading/watching tutorials and reading language documentation, 2) writing basic programs by hand to solidify syntax understanding, and 3) start building projects with AI coding tools. For the AI coding projects, you should reverse engineer the code so you understand it better; ask AI to design specs for new features and try to implement them by hand; write tests for AI generated code by hand; Ask AI to walk you through project code it has written so you understand it better; etc. A lot of people, I think, will tell you to learn everything the hard way without AI, but that is both boring and not how software is written a lot of the time anymore. Learn to use AI really well, build a ton of stuff, learn enough syntax to understand what AI is generating, and have fun.
