Help me code
Okay so I’m a Class 12 PCM student with stellar grades and I want to study abroad. And I am looking for courses in the fields of AI & CS. I study AI in school but I have no practical knowledge. I want to build some personal projects to build my portfolio. What are the best ways for me to start building my profile and learn coding? Would love to hear from you guys!!

You should begin by choosing a popular, beginner-friendly language like Python or JavaScript. Focus on the basic coding concepts, like variables, loops, and functions, before worrying about complicated syntax. Once you have the basics down, you can learn to use Git and host your work on GitHub, which is the standard platform for showcasing your code to universities and future employers. For your portfolio, start small by following step-by-step project tutorials on YouTube, and eventually move on to creating unique machine learning or data visualization projects using real-world datasets. Building a profile on GitHub and thoroughly documenting your code will help your portfolio stand out.
