how to start learning to code?

so i have always like computers and since i have master (to the best i can) the pc specs part like know whats better for what and how to pick pc parts i want to learn the next step, coding and programming the problem is i have zero clue about it and have no idea how to eat started so that is why i need your help can you guys give me links to stuff that will help me learn id liie to lean to how to code games ( starting with the very basic id think flash is but idk) and then programs maybe this is all new to me so i have no clue where to or how to start.

Try Code Academy, they really simplify it and make it easy to learn.

 I am currently learning Python as my first real language and it is probably the best route you can take to start off.  I am using this course to learn the fundamentals and I am also following along with books.

Definitely try to focus on the ideas of programming while learning how to program as well. Looking at a bunch of people from my AP Comp Sci class in high school (from a two-year-programming-novice), those struggling don't really know the concepts of why things work. Try to make what you learn relevant to every-day life or analyze how certain games would use the structures or data types that you're learning about.

 

Other than that, any language should do you good. Look into what seems to be the most interesting to you and fits what you really care for. I started with Java, hated it, went to C++, and am now learning Lua and Python (while taking a course in Java ironically. Still don't care much for it). That's all my opinion though. Java isn't a terrible start, but the syntax can get to you.

 

Python would be pretty comfortable if you're a complete newbie. The syntax is short, it's easy to work with, and it's really well documented and has a nice community around it.

It's all about problem solving. The internet is full of tutorials on coding, learning to code isn't hard. Problem solving skill, though, comes with practice.

So now that I looked into it more I'd like to start with coding iPhones do android apps what code is used for that?

Since you're new to coding, I'd start out with BASIC/Visual BASIC, then move up the list (Java, C++, C#, etc). If you want to learn something fast and that might give you a little experience, batch coding is super fun, as well as LUA.

I believe Apple products use Objective C, could be wrong though. It's been about five years since I've made apps for iOS.

For Android learn Java. For iOS learn Swift first then Objective-C after.
