Is this good for college?

I'm currently a senior in high school and have been searching around for career options. I know that code/tech jobs are in high demand, but have always thought that it was only for people who excelled in math or CS. I'm around average for both and was wondering if it would be useful to learn or take some of these courses before applying for colleges. Is it something that I can put on college applications? Am I able to apply for an IT/coding job straight from these courses? Thanks for any help!

From my point of view, SoloLearn is awesome. At school we learn only C++, but here i can learn and practice a lot of languages. Now i can make web pages and more...

Don't worry about the math. It helps, but it's not in the first place. The SL courses teaches about the basics of a particular programming language, not how to code. You'll need to follow tutorials, to read from many books and sites (it is full of materials about everything). But the most important part is to practice a lot in the process, and to be patient (it takes time). Start the journey with one of these general purpose languages - Java, C#, Python. They are excellent for beginners. Greetings! And Good Luck!
