How to begin?

Question

Hello, this is my first attempt to learn and understand computer coding. The only background experience I’ve had with a console is console command on steam games. My main questions are: what section do I start with? Development essentials? Programming Languages? Or am I wrong about both guesses as to where I should start? Thank you.

Answer 1

Hi, welcome to Sololearn!

You can find more information here: https://www.sololearn.com/Discuss/476490/?ref=app

As for your question, it really depends on what you want to build - do you have any preferences? Do you want to build web applications or are you interested game development etc. That's where you should start. And of course algorithms and problem solving skills are very important.

Answer 2

Would be good start with computer general science or start directly into a language like python. Really depends on you. Anyway, you can see here where you will find some useful links for start too

Answer 3

you need to start with any language that you like. on sololearn quite a lot of courses, choose any. I would advise you to start with javascript, because this language runs directly in the browser. you can open your browser console right now and write javascript code there, which will make your learning more easier. it also means that you don't need a compiler, just a browser. in addition to the theory more practice.
as you understand the basics of programming, you can learn any direction that you like, for example, web development, game development etc
also highly recommend the book "JavaScript for kids" Nick Morgan. кстати, ее русское издание очень классное и интересное.
