what is coding ?

Question

i wanna be able to create apps and websites in the future but for now i wanna be able to understand what im seeing. so my question is where does one start to learn coding ?

Answer 1

Start with learning some programming language.
For websites start with HTML, then CSS, then JavaScript this will be enougt to make amazing website and single page aplication, but for sites like shoping or social network you also need backend to store user data so you need backand language.
Here you can choose language you like, some of popular for website backend are: PHP, Python, Ruby, Java, Node.js (JavaScript what run outside of browser)

For making app it is best to start with Python, it have easier syntax and you can focus on programming logic much more.

Learn to code by learning language, if you jump in some tutorial without knowing fundamental things, you wont understand anything, it is slow process but at end you will have powerfull skill.
