But I didn’t have a laptop, and when I checked out the course on YouTube, it turned out to be a web-based application that anyone could use. As soon as I realised I could do it on my iPad, I started learning — and it was brilliant and easy, especially as I was learning English at the same time.</p> <p>But there’s one thing I’ve realised, and that is that programming on an iPad is easy — it’s straightforward, especially the iPad keyboard, which is so user-friendly that anyone can get to grips with it. I mean, if powerful software capable of handling large projects were developed, programming would become much easier for developers <br> . You don’t need a training course on how to use an iPad — like those ‘how to use a computer’ courses; anyone can use it, even children. </p> <p>If you teach a child to code, all they need to do is learn how to use a computer — they don’t need to learn how to use an iPad.</p> <p>Programming, at its core, is a computer language — and I know that — but I believe that if we don’t have the resources, we shouldn’t use that as an excuse. We can start with an iPad or a smartphone — online code editors work well, especially with an easy language like Python</p> <p>At the moment, I’m learning to code and putting what I’ve learnt into practice. I’ve joined a community of programmers and learnt a great deal. There’s just one step left: as soon as I have the money, I’ll buy a laptop. <br> If I’d let not having a laptop be an excuse, I wouldn’t have learnt anything by now, and I’d still be waiting for who knows how long until I could save up and buy one — and once I’d bought it, I’d be right back at square one, so the journey would have taken much longer.</p> <p>Finally, a piece of advice that some might find clichéd — just get started, whatever your circumstances. Honestly, guys, I’m grateful that I got started and didn’t wait, leaving room for excuses. As for me, getting started despite everything was a greater achievement than anything I’ve ever learnt. </p> <p><a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fwv3f4yafu81jkpzr7k19.jpeg" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fwv3f4yafu81jkpzr7k19.jpeg" alt=" " width="800" height="690"></a><br> </p> <div class="highlight js-code-highlight"> <pre class="highlight plaintext"><code> </code></pre> </div> beginners coding learning python
