Learn to Code Online on Educative: www.educative....
CodeAcademy is a very popular online resource where you can learn anything from Computer Science, Javascript to SQL. It can be a great place to learn how to code and I go in depth to review it so that you can make an informed decision. Enjoy!

as absolutely beginner the basics for free are very good to learn or find out if coding in general is good for you. After completting the basics you can still decide to learn on your own with free tutorials out there or pay for this

i started in november im doing the full stack engineering so for only doing it for 2 months its been interesting and im liking the course. i pay 38.99 i think i pay every other month or every month either way its been fun and im getting it which is something since i have learning disablilty

What people need to understand is that the business has full rights to whatever ideas and projects you create using their website tools. And you are not liable to any compensation should they redistribute your idea and make a profit from it. Which I believe is part of the reason the subscription fee is so cheap. Basically it’s a company that’s created a resource that serves as a fishing net for talent and ideas. Which is nothing wrong, but if you’ve got a big idea don’t develop it by means of the website. Think of another project that you’re happy to not have ownership of that will allow you to learn at the same time and build credibility.

[@esp86]

I don’t understand what you’re saying. They don’t have tools to create anything on their website. If you want to actually code anything that could be used outside of the site you’d have to use your own tools. The tools they have is only to do their exercises and build their pre made projects.

[@rickywestley6820]

@@esp86 Oh ok, that’s just what I read from the website.

[@esp86]

@@rickywestley6820 maybe they just mean like the projects at the end of a course when you build a site or app you can’t launch them and make money off them. Which they are usually sites for a fake business or something. The tools on their site are usually just for the training which a pretty good for learning fundamentals. I’d just learn that stuff and then utilize what you learned by building your own projects.

[@frasifatte]

Im on the full-stack course on codecademy and on my way to complete the front-end part. I can say that this is very budgetfoul and seems to be great when u start, but when things get more complicated you just lost yourself in a mess without a teacher who explain where u are and what u should do. I got used to watch other free courses on youtube and without them i couldnt even finish projects on codecademy. No doubt about the difference between a course like this on and a teached one, im saving money but losing time and understanding. I wanna see if i can go on like this becouse im saving A LOT of money BUT im afraid about things get even more complicated than now.

Plus web dev is one of the most beginner friendly ways to learn to code. Uses multiple languages (html, css, is) + loads of different frameworks to play with and then mix them all together to get an end product.

Some people prefer to do C++ first cuz it's the hardest. But I'd suggest HTML first.. it's a markup language for showing the text of websites. Then CSS & JavaScript so u hv all that's needed to build a website under yr belt. This makes u more comfortable looking at codes and understanding it..before moving to the hardest C++. Then from C++, learning any other language would be easy. Just my 2 cents.. Happy Coding :)
