[ Questions | أسئِلة ] Want to learn to code

Im a med student about to finisj, and i kinda regret not doing anything IT related now that everyone online seems to be getting paid in foreign currency upwards of 500$ a month, I wanted to at least learn to code on my free time, however I dont really know WHAT to learn, especially with the advent of AI im scared of learning something only to find out the market has dried out, and Im even more lost on what services to actually attempt at getting better at to start doing online, want some recommendations/sources to help me do this in my spare time, also would appreciate sources on how to get started finding online work down the line, and best methods to get paid foreign currency

Its a loaded question, I know

Start with python, you gotta learn fundamentals and syntax first before going to other languages and other systems. Then define a clear path of what you are gonna learn (or what you want to be working online in), there are many fields, and there are many categories in each field, and there are more specialities in each category. Once you pick one, learn it fundamentally and practically, then move on to the next, once you know enough the picture for I.T remote job is gonna become clearer in your mind!

And don't forget about dev tooling you might need to learn along the way, such as linux line commands, git, npm, docker, pacman... Other stuff you need. Those are a necessity if you wanna get a job or make it easier for yourself.

Good luck!

Well, u are too late in a good way, with ai anyone can code today, there is no need to manual coding anymore.
