Dev.to 4-Series: How to get started on writing code

Start leveraging use of free online platforms

Websites like W3Schools, Codecademy, GeeksforGeeks have free coding tutorials. YouTube has many coding tutorial videos.

As a beginner I would advice using free platforms out there. Identify resources relevant to your goals. Stick to the plan.

Set 3-6 months or so depending upon your convenience. These free platforms will not only help you to learn syntax, programs but also best practices to follow,

You can opt for one programming language at a time. Don't jump into parallel learning. You might feel overwhelmed. After certain period could loose interest as well.

It good to start by choosing one language and learn and gain insights in depth. I personally recommend using W3Schools. It's great platform for beginners.

Hope this helps. Happy to hear feedback over comments.

Thanks!
