New and need some guides to continue learning.

Question

I am new to Codding and first of all Hello all. I want to learn to code make programs and other projects. If anyone could recommend me anything to start with because youtube videos or other topics dont help me that much :( its not that much explained in a short video. Programs that i can train on , languages i need to learn for beginners and etc. It seems very interesting to me and i would like to spend my time learning since i spend way too much on my computer. Thanks to anyone that has like 1-5m to reply.

Answer 1

What you need to learn totally depends on what you want to do. The more specific your goal is, the more narrow the answer may be. Because "to learn codding", you need to "learn the codding stuff".

And also, maybe youtube videos don't give you deep knowledge, but one thing they are good at is giving you a broad overview of technologies. So they are actually great way to figure out what you need to learn to do something.

IMO, C++ and Python is a great choice. With C++ you are free to reach down to the metal, as well as building complex high level stuff. It has huge range of applications. Python is gaining popularity very fast, it's a great language to quickly solve problems of different complexity. It's becoming an industry standard in modern fields like AI and machine learning, has a lot of 3rd party libraries, can be used interactively, and is supported on many platforms.

CodeBlocks is an IDE for C++. It's great, free and cross platform. But I would recommend, after learning the basics, to learn Qt and use their IDE Qt Creator. It isn't in any way one true way to progress with C++, but I think it is a good choice. Qt is a cross-platform library, that has all kinds of stuff in it, most importantly — GUI.

And one more thing, regarding "I dont want to start with something big , i want something little and successful": At first it might not seem so, but learning C++ and stuff related to it, is something big. So if you want "something little and successful", maybe concentrate on python first. Though, you may try both and see which you like better.
