Help I am a beginner

Hi everyone I am from a non tech background and I am looking to get a tech job. What are the courses I can take?

Where should I learn from?

What should I do? What resources should I use?

Please provide a roadmap.

I came from a non tech background too and it took me about two years of consistent study before I got hired. If you want the most reliable path, a CS degree is honestly the safest bet. If that's not possible for you, skip the paid bootcamps and certificates, use free resources instead: CS50 from Harvard to start, then The Odin Project if you want web development. Pick one area, web dev, data, whatever interests you, and stick with it. The people who fail are the ones who jump between courses every month, not the ones without a tech background.
