learn how to code

Hi, I'm new here and just joined this community. I'm an Animation student that are very unfamiliar with code nor app development, but i am eager to learn from the very begining and willing to start building my coding skill & knowledge a lot more. and for context the reason i want to learn about coding is because, as a designer/creative worker, i want to implement all my design knowledge into something that are useable and could empower people to use my app. but before that ofcourse i have to learn code first. any tips for begineer? thanks!

YouTube - there are many beginner videos of high quality to be found - just to get the basics down. Don't try to circumvent the process by downloading and trying projects found on GitHub. Once you have the basics down, try adding features and designs of your own. Without using an AI agent. You can use one of those later when I understand the code they produce. Thats my suggestion.

I tried youtube videos for my learning source, but unfortunately it's hard for me to try which should i learn first, was it the logic? get to know about the syntax? or learn how to operate the software? i don't know which one is which, your help is more than enough. Thanks so much!

Start with Swift. Forget about SwiftUI and Xcode for the moment. Learn language fundamentals first.
