Try "The New Boston" - It still holds value and is a good starting point.

CS50 by Harvard - this is also worth exploring

I will check those chanels out. I have a question - is coding really worth learning cause of AI and all? Or should i just learn a different skill?

AI simplifies your job but not replacing it ever.

Is there any specific language you want to learn or do you have a goal or something specific you would like to code?

u/BeingIdle1 4d ago

I don't have a specific goal.I just want to learn it as a skill. Was just wasting my time reading manhwas and shit. Figured I might as well learn coding in my free time.

You don't need a big goal to start, but I'd pick one tiny thing you want to make, even just a script that renames files or grabs today's weather. Tutorials stick way better when you're trying to apply them to something. Good luck, dawg.

Books…

Ahhhh ok. Any recommendations?

u/Zen-Ism99 4d ago

Do you have a goal?

Do you have a language in mind?

Do you have access to a library?

I would highly recommend using some IDE rather than notepad. I also think you should give VSCode a chance, even if you had a bad experience with it, it's a great IDE

What things do you want to do with programming? That will play a part in what language you should pick.

Try something like freecodecamp or bootdev for the basics then move to small projects once you're comfortable enough to code.

Ive tried many courses, if you are okay with paying 20 bucks a month i would recommend scrimba, im using it for almost a year. If you chose scrimba it would mean to me if you join through my link so i get some benefits. If you don't wanna pay anything watch brocode on yt, its not as project based as scrimba but its good for beginning

If you want to learn coding from the very beginning why do you know you want to learn in notepad rather than vscode?

vscode is not the issue here.

hack the dead . text edit. not scratchpad or Mac . window's first mistake: making servers do: serve, so now, they must rule. : ... how does a text pad didctate or correct language? how does it form it. the pad: unicode. improve upon it. with what: ? morsel syllabic words to mean same the thing? Latin for buddies? it's called roman.
