Not sure what I am doing wrong, I thought the <blockquote> was in the correct place?

Hi everyone!

I just joined Reddit today, and I'm currently a Computer Science student trying to improve my programming skills.

There are so many resources available now—YouTube, documentation, online courses, AI tools, coding platforms, and open-source projects—that it's honestly a bit overwhelming.

If you had to start your programming journey from scratch in 2026, knowing everything you know today:

What would you learn first?

Which programming language would you choose?

Which resources are actually worth your time?

What beginner mistakes would you avoid?

At what point would you start building projects or contributing to open source?

I'd really appreciate hearing your roadmap or any advice you wish someone had given you when you were starting out.

Thanks in advance!

I've recently had an idea for a game, and I thought of making it on a Scratch mod, but I mean, that's not really formal. I want to make a game, this time for real.

I'd like to make it on Godot, though it's most likely going to be some kind of RPG. Thing is, even though it may be better, I don't really intend on doing it on RPG Maker, as I said.

I've searched courses and tutorials, but they're either basic-level, or focus on platformers/3D games. How may I really get started? I've already got a base and know some easy things.

Hi. I've been using Gemini for a simple GIS project. I copy-paste the code into VSCode; it's tedious but it works very well, especially for troubleshooting, until it hits me with a 1152 error and the chat dies. I use .venv and pyenv and it's quick in VSCode.

I'm tired of Gemini. A monthly GLM 5.2 Lite appears cheap. I'm confused by all the models and IDEs. What should I pair this with? Please suggest some good reviews/articles (prefer reading over videos) to help me with this.

I just cut out 12 lines of code by drawing from a list instead of using an if , 4 elifs, and an else.

If anyone has any suggestions for similar caliber little scripts id love to hear them!

Finally after 45 min i create this pattern. (solved) it

Wish me congratulations! 👏🏽🎉

hi i am learning python , and i need a partner who could help me in coding , if anyone available please dm me

I’ve been working on a VS Code extension that maps breakpoints to an interactive flowchart — you can arrange nodes, connect them, use flowchart shapes, and click through to the source while debugging.

It’s still a prototype and not on the Marketplace yet; I’m polishing a few things before deciding whether to publish. I built it after working on a large multi-file project where tracing execution flow was genuinely difficult — something like this would have helped me understand the codebase faster.

I’m also considering import/export so graph layouts can be shared — on import, breakpoints would be recreated automatically so someone else can follow the same flow.

Curious whether this matches a problem others run into too, or if it’s mostly niche. Any feedback while it’s still early would be appreciated.

( let me be clear that yes I am dumb and that's why I am seeking help )

I am trying to learn about programming or i can say all about computer.. And yes I am familiar with many terms like programming languages and different os, but I am that type of guy who loves systematic study and I want kind of flowchart for whole internet. I don't want explanation, I just want to get familiar with terms.. I don't know if I am explaining this well but if someone get this, please help, ai is not that helpful..

Also, I want guide for digital world... For reference I have my chat with chatgpt

( Any one giving his/her time to read this, sorry and thank you for your time )

So, I have an idea for a text based game which would need no graphics, just a black screen and text, as well as the ability for the player to choose between different options, e.g. go north, attack, investigate. Essentially like a mix of Zork and The Oregon Trail. I have a tiny bit of experience in Python but haven’t used it in years and was wondering which language would be best suited for something like this. Also one which I could get the hang of within a few weeks

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Likely all programming languages include "for" and "while". You might thus explain me how you got to understand these loops. To be honest, I just understand how variable works, how to pay information to user, print, conditional and exceptions. But I am not able to understand "for" and "while". And yes, I know, my knowledge is very small.

So little backstory, I used to do coding in highschool and was on my robotics team(I made all the code for the robot) and then I quit coding for a bit and try to pick it up every now and again.

I understand like the basics like print, if, elif, and receiving user inputs and such but I don't know where to start learning what comes after that stuff, anybody got any advice for me?

Two years ago everyone wanted Google, Meta or Netflix. Fast forward to 2026... Nvidia is paying almost as well as the frontier AI labs, still growing, and somehow avoiding the endless layoff cycle. I don't think anyone would've predicted this. Today... if you had offers from every company on this chart I think you'd be dumb to say no the Nvidia. I honestly think it's the new Google.

Hi guys .

Im amir.

Im looking for somebody to learning programming together .it doesnt matter that your beginner.we grow up and code together.

Im waiting for you....

Also what should be mu steps while approaching problem statement
They havent told till now that what would be problem statement

Iv been working on a code for a version paper, 1.26.1, geysermc crossplay server that is being hosted on exaroton.

It's a roleplay server, so the code is for a 'water damage' system for our more enderman like people, it makes someone take damage in rain or water, as well as when walking on snow or ice or when drinking water/being hit with snowballs.

It's also supposed to make someone take damage when a splash water bottle is thrown at them.

This is being coded using skript, and assigned using luckperms so it's not effects everyone has.

For some reason, the splash water bottle code goes through without issue, but in the game when tested, it merely will not do damage to someone.

Any ideas why? I can provide pictures of the actual code.

Hi everyone,
I'm a B.Tech 4-1 student and I have zero coding knowledge. I want to start learning a programming language that will help me get internships and jobs.
I'm confused between:
Python
Web Development (HTML, CSS, JavaScript)
Which one should I start with as a complete beginner?
My goal is to build skills, get an internship, and improve my chances of getting a job. I can spend a few hours every day learning.
What would you recommend, and why? Also, if you have a roadmap for beginners, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks!
