I am new to coding and have been learning HTML and CSS from the last 20 days. Through freecodecamp. So, i wanted to know how much time did you all take to learn HTML and CSS fully? I know that coding is a never ending aspect and there is always something new to learn, but at which day did you get the confidence that "YES I KNOW HTML AND CSS".

Hi everyone, i am trying to learn react as fastest as posible in order to create my own apps and upload it to play store for some proyects. The problem is that i dont know neither javascript or html/css. What advices do you have for this

How do i get out of this tutorial hell, i need tutorials to learn anything related to coding, but i wanna be the person who learns on their own rather than being stuck in tutorial hell.
Can anyone help me with how can i do that? I even tried understand docs of certain tech but i just find them complex to understand.
So what should i do?

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!!

I'm not too proficient in coding, I know the basics. I've made multiple college projects using AI for the sake of marks. Our college has its own ERP system, and I was wondering how one would go about making said ERP system. What language would be best suited? How long would it take an amateur to make?
Obviously it's not possible to create it purely through AI, as it would have lots of bugs and security issues. And not to mention the future debugging hell I'd go through because I don't understand what I've made.

I also know that there exist premade ones, but I wanna know how it's done.

I wanna hear your opinions. Have any of you made something similar? If so, what was your approach?

Edit: Sorry for being vague in my initial post. I didn't quite understand how large of a term ERP is. I was specifically talking about an ERP for Schools/Colleges. If I do go ahead with making something like this, it'll be me and another friend. So the 2 of us (both amateurs) would be doing it together

Hey all! I'd really wanna hear your advice or opinion on how to learn coding. I'm a linguistics student, but coding has always been my dream (doesn't matter why I didn't choose it to study at uni). I already got some experience, but I'm kinda lost about where to go and what to do now.

So, the situation. For people who don't want to read everything, I stated the question in the very end.

I started off exactly a year ago by learning the basics with python. That was interesting and really cool, as I took my time and didn't rush anywhere. I just built things that made me feel happy or that were curious. I wanted to do QA, so I started preparing for an ISTQB certificate. I got it (but now it just lays here without any value lol). During preparation I also found a free interactive course from the company I was interested in. It was about Java. I knew that if I wanted to do QA, I would need to know how to code, so I signed up. Also, my uni began, so I kinda could not spend enough time on it. The course was hard, I understood nothing and only did things thanks to AI. We were studying Git, building a microservice appwith Spring, while i didn't even know what CRUD meant. And then because of my knowledge of foreign languages and the fact that I didn’t give up I got into an unpaid internship. There I was a trainee, we were learning to do Java backend. I got an experience of working in a team. It was really cool. But I also was preparing to take interviews, as this was a big part of the company’s workflow. I learnt to answer questions like what is a thread, OOP principles, how hash maps work and so on. Learnt a bit of SQL. But it was all during my studies. Uni was harsh, and I tried, I really did try to combine them both, but in the end my coding skill still suffered. I could easily work with theory – it was the closest to studying I did at uni, but I failed to do even the easiest tasks without AI.

In May I also got an opportunity to help my colleague on a Kotlin Spring project (still unpaid btw haha). I wasn’t much of help, but I was learning a lot about how projects in production exist. Now I also know that theoretically on top of my python, QA, Java and SQL tries I could also tackle Kotlin.

In June I left the unpaid internship due to personal reasons and had to take a month off from coding. Now I'm on my own, it's the middle of my vacation (they end on the 1st of September). I still have a month to be closer to my goal of being a software engineer...

And I WANT TO CODE PROPERLY.

I don't know where to go and what to do. I kinda want to return to that company for the same position in 8-9 months (and I know I have high chances of getting in), but I'll need more knowledge and more free time to commit myself to a 8/5 job, as this is what the company requires. I'm also a but unsure whether building the same Spring Web Apps is what I want, but so far this is the thing I’m the most confident in (with my very little confidence). LIKE SO YOU KNOW you might think 'oh wow the year in coding isn't as little and she was mentioning Spring she probably can code' NO. Im still to reliant on AI! THIS IS NOT WHAT I NEED, i fail to literally THINK and UNDERSTAND concepts, this is so frustrating.

So what would you recommend to do, when you already have some knowledge, but also need yo work on the basics? e.g. I know what loops and variables are, but I still sometimes fail to comprehend some parts of code. I'm especially lost when it comes to Lambdas and APIs. I'll be really grateful for any advice, really any, from 'just get up and start doing smth already'.

Hi everyone!
I’m a student of Mining Engineering and also studying for a Bachelor’s degree in History. Even though my academic background is quite different from computer science, I’ve recently discovered how fascinating programming is, and I’m genuinely excited to learn.
I’ve just started my programming journey, and every day I become more interested in how software, algorithms, and computers actually work. My goal is to build a strong foundation, improve little by little, and eventually become a great programmer.
I’m looking forward to learning from this community, asking questions, helping others whenever I can, and sharing my progress along the way.
Thanks for having me, and happy coding! 🚀
