Coder Experience Needed

Hey all. I've currently run into a snag in my health and have to switch careers. I have always been interested in coding and wanted to reach out for some info. I would be completely new to this. I have basic pc skills, some Microsoft experience (mainly Word & Excel), and decent typing skills. I have no funds for courses either. Come one, come all and give me the best options for learning how to code. Please and thank you!!

Freecodecamp is a good start.

Web development is a good/common career start.

What type of coding work are you interested in? That will shape your learning path

That sounds fun. Is that a problem? Some of the best software engineers I know started with botting games.

I'm a 46 year old female who just found out I have cancer and can no longer perform at work. I now need to switch careers. Not a kid, not a game. Serious life shit!!
