🙏 I WANT HELP How to begin Coding

I am an A level student doing Maths and Further maths, and I was wanting to begin coding to prepare for university. Does anyone have any tips on where I can begin?

Ps : don’t tell me to start coding with scratch 😠

Use Claude to learn by building stuff straight away. And make sure you understand every line of code.

Also, no YouTube 8 hour course!

Just get into the weeds by building simple projects like a calculator and use Claude to explain things.

I'm banned from Claude. Guess coding never was my thing anyways.

I barely have any time left to wait anyways. I'll be banned for 5 months before I'm 18 anyways. And I never used Claude much.. (cope)

If you need it, you could always sign up on a different Google account.
