I don't really have any experience with coding. But I do have a few ideas for apps that I want to create. So, I was wondering if anyone could help me out with how to get started on learning to code. If anyone can help me, or direct me to a place where I'll be able to get help, I would really appreciate it.</p> <p>I've tried reading books and watching videos that are supposedly designed for beginners and say that they have step-by-step instructions on how to code, but I still haven't really been able to figure it out. I think I just learn things better when I actually have someone explaining it to me and showing me how to do it, then also helping me get started by correcting my mistakes or helping me out if I get stuck. Then, after doing it on my own a few times, I will usually just be fine after that. Although learning a coding language is probably different, so that might be why I'm struggling a little more with figuring it out. If anyone can help me, or direct me to a place where I'll be able to get help, I would really appreciate it.</p> beginners learning newbie firstpost The Time Theorist Fri, 04 Aug 2023 02:13:24 +0000 https://dev.to/thetimetheorist/beginner-looking-for-advice-on-how-to-get-started-with-coding-5336 https://dev.to/thetimetheorist/beginner-looking-for-advice-on-how-to-get-started-with-coding-5336 <div class="ltag__stackexchange--container"> <div class="ltag__stackexchange--title-container"> <div class="ltag__stackexchange--title"> <div class="ltag__stackexchange--header"> <img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--AoTUKOcU--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_800/https://dev.to/assets/stackoverflow-logo-b42691ae545e4810b105ee957979a853a696085e67e43ee14c5699cf3e890fb4.svg" alt=""> <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/76832552/beginner-looking-for-advice-on-how-to-get-started-with-coding" rel="noopener noreferrer"> Beginner looking for advice on how to get started with coding </a> </div> <div class="ltag__stackexchange--post-metadata"> <span>Aug 4 '23</span> <span>Comments: 2</span> <span>Answers: 0</span> </div> </div> <a class="ltag__stackexchange--score-container" href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/76832552/beginner-looking-for-advice-on-how-to-get-started-with-coding" rel="noopener noreferrer"> <img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--oeieW07A--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_800/https://dev.to/assets/stackexchange-arrow-up-eff2e2849e67d156181d258e38802c0b57fa011f74164a7f97675ca3b6ab756b.svg" alt=""> <div class="ltag__stackexchange--score-number"> -1 </div> <img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--h2-sXgSn--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_800/https://dev.to/assets/stackexchange-arrow-down-4349fac0dd932d284fab7e4dd9846f19a3710558efde0d2dfd05897f3eeb9aba.svg" alt=""> </a> </div> <div class="ltag__stackexchange--body"> <p>Maybe I'm posting this in the wrong place, so if that is the case, maybe you could help direct me to a better place to post this question where I will be able to get some help or advice.
