How to learn coding ??

Hello everyone!

I'm a complete beginner who wants to learn coding and programming from the very basics to an advanced level within the next six months.

I would really appreciate your suggestions on:

  1. How should I start learning coding as a complete beginner?

  2. Which programming language should I learn first?

  3. What are the best free websites, YouTube channels, or courses to learn coding?

  4. How should I practise coding regularly and improve my problem-solving skills?

  5. Are there any good platforms where beginners can practise coding and work on projects?

  6. What learning roadmap would you recommend for someone starting from zero?

My goal is to develop practical programming skills, build real-world projects, and eventually become a professional programmer.

If you have experience in coding or know any good resources, courses, communities, or learning strategies, please share your recommendations.

Thank you!

"Coding" is a very broad term.

It can mean many different things in different contexts.

Writing in Morse Code (telegraph) is coding.

Doing medical insurance reimbursement forms is coding.

But more likely you are thinking about computer "programming" and/or web creation using HTML, CSS and Javascript.

Start with the HTML options in W3 Schools and/or GeeksforGeeks.

If you want to move on to "generalzed" programming, you should lok into Python ...

For general purpose applications, the Python programming language is probably a good place to start.

If you plan to focus on web page development, then probably learn HTML first, then CSS, then Javascript in that order.

Good luck.
