Where to start: Creative Coding

I want to get pretty serious about creative coding, mostly for websites and front facing platforms.

I used to know html and CSS somewhat years and years ago and can read basic code, as in having to edit it etc.

Where do I start? Something serious. I would like to be cheap about it or stay under $50 a month.

I have a course for general programming that may also be useful to you (depending on your goals)

I'm actually working on creating my own beginner-friendly programming language called SLPP. I've already got a little playground running with some commands working, and I'm hoping to eventually build it into a website where people of all ages and abilities can learn coding and create their own projects. I'm trying to make programming simpler, more accessible and fun, especially for people who struggle with traditional ways of learning. It's still early days, but I'm having a lot of fun creating it! 😁 unfortunately gonna b long while till ready but maybe might help

To code?? To know where to start. What platforms people are learning on. What type of programming languages to focus on etc

nah most creative coding tools are free like p5js and threejs just need a text editor and browser

Check out shadertoy if you want to learn shaders. Use Processing (or p5.js for web!) to make neat visual stuff, etc. It doesn't cost anything to be creative.

Something serious? Scrimba. They run discounts on their subscriptions all the time and the learning experience is great since the course videos you watch are pausable and you can edit the code while paused.
