I am new to coding, what cool stuff can I do once I learn how?

Answer 1

Possibilities are endless.
Make sure you check out codes made by other people here. They sure are helpful and also will let you know the applications coding has irl.

Answer 2

Also, it depends on what are you learning. Web-development (back-end or front-end) or software development?

Answer 3

But what are you starting with? It's hard to learn everything in parallel. :-) I know it, I feel it, 'cause it's my big problem. I'm too curious to chose one and stop switching from one to another... and to another... and back. Forgot too many already. But relearning it. But it's super uneffective :) If you are starting with Python there cool things you can do even in the beginning with web technologies. Making your own tiny web-server (let it only be able only to send one string in reply to any query) for example. Meddling with some information is interesting, sorting something, saving and so on. I'm very weak at Python so someone else could tell you about huge number of modules/libraries available for it (when you'll be ok with basics and sololearn course is god enough for this task!)

Answer 4

I am trying to learn as much as I possibly can front, back, and everywhere in between. I am going to take an elective class at my university in python, but aside from that, I am mostly learning from the internet.
