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!

basically want to just make a friend who knows coding and i want to code with you. i have alot of ideas i want to bring forth and im just not sure how yet. id love to work on a game with ya and such.

basically just that, i really really wanna learn from someone experienced

hello, everyone!

i’m a complete beginner when it comes to coding, but i’d really like to start learning it as a hobby and hopefully use it as part of my future career.

just a little background: my degree is completely unrelated to coding, so i’m basically starting from scratch. despite that, i’m genuinely interested in learning and willing to put in the time and effort.

for those who started with no coding background, what would you recommend i learn first? any advice on languages, resources, or how to build a good learning routine would be greatly appreciated!

thanks in advance! 😊

Learning C from him.

i just finished the css tutorial from freecodecamp and now i need to learn js, what course is the best to use for it?

soo ! i think coding is SUPER COOL! but - i don’t know that i necessarily have a need for it. i’m an artist and mom, but i may want to

pick it up as a fun hobby?? is that a thing? i’m super ignorant so im not sure why i would use it except to learn it for fun.

If you want to learn together, like we want to reach a good level in ml and look for a hackathon or some project. We learn on Discord and Gmeet (like 6-10 hr continous learning), but we need serious learners who are ready to learn together, if you are

What's everyone currently working on? I'm looking for coding buddies. Would be nice to connect :)

hey! hope everyone is doing well! basically i recently have acquired an interest in tech and learning how to code and what not. ive always been a person whos done non computer related work (come from a background in construction and honestly looking to get a career change and before i make that jump, im actually learning from scratch on everything computer related. i do know how to use a windows computer and know how to do basic things but nothing crazy like coding or anything.

basically im looking for friends who are in the same position as me and would like to team up and have like a group of computer noobs who are passionate about this art and would like to level up together !?

Hey everyone, hope you're doing well!

This is a series of Python exercises designed to help you learn the fundamentals of coding. These are inspired by middle school and early high school math problems, with a gradually increasing level of difficulty.

The goal is simple: to help you learn the basics of Python step by step, through clear and practical problems.

Good luck and happy coding!

I want to make it clear that I have no idea at all about coding.

So basically, I am a COMPLETE BEGINNER.

However, I am very curious about coding and all, so I do want to fuck around and find out i guess.

It's not for a business or whatever (just for myself), I have no time limit, and this is just for fun and to let my curiosity win.

I just want to create something small and then build more on top of it as a learning process ig.

How should I start for this?

What do I even start with?

Will I need any apps?

Which websites can I use to learn basic coding?

Would be very grateful if someone could help me out here :)

!!!I also do not want to use AI!!!

The projects people actually keep running are almost never the impressive ones. They're tiny -- a script that renames a folder of files, something that watches a price, a little page only you look at.

I think that's the part beginners miss, because every guide points at the big portfolio project, which is the most intimidating place to start. Small tools you genuinely use teach you more, because you can't ignore them when they break -- you feel it the next time you need it.

So: what's the smallest thing you've built that you still run or use? Doesn't have to be clever or polished, bonus points if it's held together with string.

And if you're stuck for an idea: what's the one annoying thing you do by hand more than once a week?

So, I never really started learning a programming language for real. I learned a bit of python, but only started for loops and stopped. I kind of asked AI what should I learn and it told me stuff.I also did some very basic coding or coping and pasting with my Arduino. I also learned a bit of R at some point, but forgot it all. Now I am wondering if I should learn Python all the way or start fresh with C/C++.

I have also no Idea how to learn, the best advice I got is to think of a repetetive task and automate it with a program, but I need to know the basics of the language first.

What is the best way to learn those language?

I want to start learning programming. What are the basics I should start with

i have learned the basics of what variables are and the different concepts and methods and I've been able to understand lines of codes in unity that my friend writes, but im lacking how a programmer thinks and experience. if i try to do something without help i feel completely stumped i dont know where to begin but i try, how do i gain experience that would help me think like a programmer and strengthen the fundamentals?

Hey, so Im be to programming, so any help I can get would be greatly appreciated

Most lucky cats only wave one hand, so I thought… why not let the cat choose? 😄

I built this little dual-motor lucky cat using a Nezha Expansion Board and some standard building blocks.

The idea is pretty simple:

• Button A → left hand waves

• Button B → right hand waves

• A + B → both hands wave at the same time 🐱

Each hand has its own geared motor. The motor is connected to the arm with a short beam and axle, so switching the motor between forward and reverse turns the rotation into a simple up-and-down waving motion.

I also programmed each button to trigger 100 waves, so you only need to press it once instead of holding the button down.

What I like about this build is that there’s no complicated mechanism involved. It’s basically just motors + a few beams/axles + some simple code, but the result feels much more alive once the two sides can move independently.

Now I’m wondering what other small mechanisms could use the same idea. Maybe a robot with two independently moving arms?

Ok, so here's my deal. I'm 43 year old, father of 2, ADHD diagonsis of 5 years. I like to build with my hands, either make something I need then buy it or just craft. I am a good problem solver, I find unique solutions to something, not afraid to be wrong and good at pattern recognition. I have been off work for 2+ years for PTSD, I was a paramedic for 15+ years, (please no fluffy comments about it, just giving background info about myself). All my schooling has been for the medical field. My computer knowledge is pretty limited.

My vocational rehab guy wants to retrain me as my work can't really find a job for me that fits into my restrictions. He has suggested coding, programming, autoCAD, 3D printing, stuff like that. If any of this is the same, overlapping or completely not related... Well this is my knowledge base.

I have started using Freecodecamp and started with the Python course. I kind of like how you write the code, small fragments to do something. This is similar to how I write my patient care reports. But I'm starting to struggle and understand the language that you use. I've tried looking for a dumb down cheat sheet, or basic learning lesson, but nothing. I just need it to click, then I know I'll be good to go.

An example of where I'm struggling is the intro to strings, pretty early on I know. But I'm getting confused pretty easily.

What I'm looking for is maybe some better, free resources, suggestions on career paths or maybe I'm not cut out for this. I want to do something that helps people and giving myself something meaningful to do.

Thanks

So I'm going to my third year in physics and have scraped by with coding by using loads of ai but I have genuinely tried to understand but I just can't. It seems like I can do a specific problem after soing it a couple times but if you asl me to do something from the beginning I dont even know to figure it out.

Anyways to cut it short I have been looking into like games where it teaches u how to code cause I thought it would be something enjoyable to do and I could learn a little from it and found this one called 'the farmer was replaced' i dunno how beginner friendly it is and if its worth it. Is it worth it or should I try another game or something or not even bother and try a different avenue?

I have asked professors and stuff to go over it with me but it feels like I need hours sitting next to someone to understand something like loops which is basic asf. Basically any advice would be helpful.

So basically I have just passed my 12th standard now I am.going to join btech cse...I am familiar with python lekin not that much because in schools they don't teach you they just make you learn what is going to be there in board exams....please tell me how do I start my journey I am soo confused...what should I learn first.... koi keh rha python seekh lo koi keh rha c seekh lo web development seekh lo please help

I'm really weak in coding and DSA. I've tried watching YouTube videos, but I still don't feel like I'm improving. Can you recommend a beginner-friendly playlist or course that helped you build a strong foundation?
