I always wanted to learn how to code, but I could never find the time for it since I have two aging parents to take care of. Now that they've gotten a little better, I find myself having some free time to waste on my days off. I want to learn some coding, but I don't know where to begin. Right now, going to a school is kind of out of the question since the car I own is a pos and I don't have the money to get a new one or pay on a loan with all the medicine I have to get for my parents. Are there any good sites to go to that arn't scams or basically shitty training courses like in high school?
Thanks if you can help, guys.
Figure out what you want to make first. I have spent seven years as a web developer, so HTML / CSS / JavaScript / PHP are the required known languages. There are other fancier things as well, but you need the base knowledge first before diving into SASS and Angular.
Vanilla JavaScript and a lot of other languages follow the general C scripting language - meaning, if you get the gist, the same patterns are in a bunch of languages. Plus, you can write scripts in a web browser and get more instant feedback instead of recompiling a project.
StackOverflow.com is your friend...odds are if it's broke, someone figured out a way to fix it.
W3Schools.com has real simple information which you can learn, then try out more advanced features after.
CSSTricks.com is one of my favorites...lots of goodies for front end web developers.
If you're willing to buckle in, learn .NET - C# and Visual Basic, but mostly C#. There are a lot of .NET jobs out there, unsure how many have outsourced though.
Agreed
