First, make them want to do it. How?
★Show them interesting works made by programming.
★And if they ask you how you did it. Say
"At first, I was paying money to learn coding the hard way. But later, I found Sololearn which is more of fun than tedious work and it's free!"
★Show them the features of this app
★Believe me sincerely, these two sentences will make them want to learn.

Point a gun to their head and say: "Program or die!".
First thing they'll say next is: "Hello world"

*Show them mind blowing stuffs done with codes.
*Give them fun learning and interactive resources, like sololearn. (Videos inclusive)
*Tell them of successful people who write codes. (You could mention my name. 😜😉)

Eat some taco bell.. then... In the room next to them.. set up a laptop.. open some text editors.. a command prompt/terminal.. sololearn.... And then after all of that is set up.. walk into the next room where your friend is and fart. Once they vacate the room and walk into the one with the laptop etc. to be able to breathe, shut the door and lock them in. Ta-da!

It's good If They do what they want to do but at least once try to convince them but only once if they are not agree then you just focus on your programming skills

Show them one of your creations and also this video from Code.org: https://youtu.be/nKIu9yen5nc that video got me into coding 😊 seeing women, NBA players and singers (like Will.I.Am) programmers made me realize anybody can learn how to program, "you don't need to be a genius, just determined"😊

just follow your own interests.. if they ask u questions, answer them, if they ask for help then help them. programming is not for eveyone. if u persist in trying to make them interested they will avoid u and think you are just Showing off.
save your energy and keep studying, if u want to

Make a visually pleasing program, then show off the source code. That could help xD. You likely won't spark much interest if they only get to see a console.

1▪If he wants something, let him do it. Nothing comes by Force.
2▪Passion and Determination.
3▪The numbers🤔 let him see the numbers jump each time of the programmers , how it is important in the labor market.

THIS WORKS!!
Get them started with HTML. - very easy
- Once they learn small snippets, show them some popular websites.
- Start with static (html only)
And if they are interested they will begin to learn JavaScript, JQuery and there you GO!
Once they grasp little bit of HTML show them C programming because the keywords are easy and they will continue themselves.
That was how I started.

You can't, if they are not interested then they would not want to learn, really, I tried before. Yet, if they have interest in it, just do a very good program and explain them the easiest way posible how it works.

Depending on their interests, show them how programming will help them take those interests to the next level :D
For example, see if they love video games, or making graphics, etc.
