I learned the basics in the friendly environment of the processing IDE copying ready made examples and tutorials (typing, not only reading). Later I edited my copies to explore functionality and finally I implement as much knowledge gained as possible in a real life project for my needs. The last step is always the most educational as I have to tackle problems doing my research to solve or getaround them. And the more problems I face, the more I learn. I find the Tutorials by Daniel Shiffman on his youtube Channel "The Coding Train", very useful, inspiring and beginner friendly. https://m.youtube.com/user/shiffman/videos Edit:Another thing I should point out about processing IDE,is the fact that it lets you easily export executables/Apk of your programs. Lets you explore Java, JS, Python and Android programming in a simple way so that you can decide what is better for your needs.

I would recommend you to look for "The coding train" on youtube and to start with processing, for me it's the best way to learn to code. And Daniel Shiffman teaches code super well. Just Try it, you will love it. And by the way there ir Processing APDE to create android apps. :)

@seamiki Yes!! also the Nature of Code is one of the best programming books in my own opinion. And Shiffman makes it so readable that makes me think anyone can learn to code amazing things with Him. :)

@Pedro David Nice to see another Shiffman pupil. His book Learning Processing was the only programming book I was able to read and follow cover to cover: the learning experience is similar to the videos that by the time were not yet available.

I've started by HTML basics on Sololearn and Open Classroom, then I've learnt CSS, after that I've started my first website on Sololearn. Now I'm learning Javascript, and I'm still improving my first website, by adding new lines. I have encountered errors in code several times, so I've asked to the community some help to find and correct my mistakes. That's why Sololearn is a great place to learn programming. :)

I mostly practice with some silly codes. But I think that I truly learn when I have a situation that I cannot solve without an algorithm. But I can't say that's an easy method! 😁
