Think of coding as a hobby. Ask yourself what is the fun thing you want to create. A game? A web service? A robot? A gadget? A simulation? Once you have a fun goal, then use Google to find out how other people create that goal. (If it's a game, I recommend Unity 3D).
I decided to learn code back in 1981, on the ZX81. I was 8 and I wanted to make a game, so I learned basic. I made games for years, as a hobby. The early ones were terrible, as you might imagine. Now I have a career in coding videogames.

Get good at your hobby and someone will pay you to do it. Pay YOU to do YOUR hobby!!

Good luck
