Learning to code - The BEST piece of advice I can give you is to code on your own.

Find a project you want to accomplish or problem you want to solve. This could be something small or large, depending on your starting skills.

Then research, look up stuff, watch YouTube videos and tutorials to help you get the hang of it. Stackoverflow is a great resource!!

DON'T COPY! DON'T COPY! DON'T COPY! Learn to modify, extend and build... piece by piece!

YOU CAN USE ANY LANGUAGE TO GET STARTED, JUST GET STARTED!!!!
