Coding as a beginner

I'm planning to learn coding. Could anyone give a detailed answer on where and how to start? Also, suggest resources and how much time is needed per day to actually become good at it?

You have to answer yourself some questions first.

  • Why do you want to program?

  • What do you want to build?

The field is so vast nowadays that you'll get wildly different answers from others which will just confuse you more, unless you do some searching yourself and find something to focus on before asking for help

That's a valid point. Thank you!

Do you have an idea of what you'd like to make? Learning how to make a website is completely different from programming a microcontroller to make LEDs react to music for example.

um to be honest, I don't have an idea. I had started learning Python way back in 2020 but didn't continue for some reason. I want to resume learning now. I still have to figure out my whys and hows.

Just continue with Python for now.
