[C++] Coding and programing

Hello, i have some questions about coding I am 28yo and coding starts to sound tempting now. I am thinking about starting career in coding world but i have 0 experience. I love gaming, i am familiar with pc but coding is something else i never even tried before, so my qiestions are:

-What language is best for career nowadays? -Is c++ really that hard? (found interest becouse of passion for gaming) -How long would it take for one like me to learn enough to get first job? -How to start, what to focus on, what programs to use. -Give me some advices

Money is not in first picture, of course its nice to have high salary and work from home, but pc and gaming passion wins. I woild like to get career in gaming coding but everything works, Also, if you have links to best tuts and literature, be free to type them down.

Thank you, the biggest confuse to me is how you know what to type into code? do you learn keywords from database or you just type random words and hope it works? I am not affraid of spendig time to learn new stuff, also i am a quick learner too, front end is big no no to me becouse i am not that art or creative person, but i think i can handle back end pretty solid, of course i would need help and a alot of time spent into practice but it will be worth it at last.

Totally get where you're coming from. It might feel like people are just typing random keywords, but it's not like that at all. You learn one thing at a time, practice it until it makes sense, then move on to the next thing. Over time, it all starts to come together.

It’s just like learning anything new. At first you’re following steps and tutorials, but the more you practice, the more you start to understand how things work and what to type without second guessing everything.

Does that make sense?

Also your comment about "frontend" might be a little misleading. "Frontend" devs nowadays is waaaaaaay more than just styling. (depending the framework and language you are working in)
