Answer 1

(Note : I'm too younger than you, so I'll guide you as though you are my elder sister )

I myself am a 10th class student. I started programming when I was in 7th class. I started with C language and I learnt that at a offline computer centre. That was my first and last class which I took for programming. From then on, I learnt everything online, free of cost.

Right now, I know C, C++, Java, JavaScript, Python, Kotlin, HTML, CSS, XML, Bootstrap, jQuery, Android Development and a little bit of Machine Learning too.

So here are thoughts on your question: I think that you will have some difficulty only with your first programming language, once you have done with that, every other language will become too easy to learn. So, I think that you should learn languages online rather than going to coaching.

I have a feeling that the people who went to coaching, don't put too much on themselves, I mean as soon as they got stuck anywhere they start seeking help, without giving the problem even a single go.

Answer 2

According to me this is their biggest mistake, in learning programming. When I was learning many languages, there were many problems which I solved myself, even by giving 1 months or so. Which now have made me a very efficient programmer.
But when learning through someone else, we have to take his order, he will say that get this problem solved in 3 day, then if you succeed then ok, but if you remain unsuccessful to solve, he will tell you the solution. So where's the point? You didn't solve that youself!

TL;DR: According to me, self teaching should be given priority over coaching or anything.

Answer 4

well i would say, if you like coding and are quite interested then you might not need a coach.
but sometimes it can be helpful if there is someone you can ask about the conzepts or such.
I my self didn't have a teacher and tried out different ways and watched a lot of 'Coding Train' (really great youtube chanel) and I think coding is awsome and that I can code most of the stuff I want to code.

Thank you so much everyone for answering my question..... I'm feeling more confident now.😇
