It's codecademy, without the a.

 

 

There's also a pinned thread in this section with a myriad of resources.

You could also try khanacademy, the lessons are kinda for 10 year olds but it works. Also it uses the ProcessingJS library so it uses functions like ellipse(x, y, height, width); that aren't in normal JavaScript

Watch out behind you!

It redirects to codecademy even with the a.  :)

It has been a very big interest for me for the better part of my life... I would really like some input on how i can learn to code not anything fancy but not as simple as Hello World.

First find out what you're interested in, for example, website development, app development, games, databases etc... Then I would grab a book on that subject aswell as codecademy and so on. My biggest tip to you is exhaust ever resource you can in order to learn the language. What I mean is, don't just focus on using one source of information like a book, but instead use books, codecademy, youtube, forums, and even meetups with other programmers.

It has been a very big interest for me for the better part of my life... I would really like some input on how i can learn to code not anything fancy but not as simple as Hello World.

There are 3 main groups of programming resources.

- Books

- Online courses (codecademy.com, khanacademy.org)

- Youtube series

 

You can use one or more of these resources to become a good programmer in whatever language you choose (I recommend python if you can't decide) and from there you can add languages to your repetoir.

As mentioned before it definitely depends on what exactly you're interested in doing. There are a lot of different concepts that all build on each other if you're interested in proper development. Learning a language is fine, but learning the underlying concepts is better IMHO. If you're interested in going into it fully I couldn't recommend a degree in IT, focussed on development, more. But in all honesty, most developers these days don't seem to have that and still do fine.

 

If you're looking for the complete package, I'd say to have a look on https://www.google.com/about/careers/students/guide-to-technical-development.html. It's intended for people trying to improve their technical skills for Google, but they include links for a lot of free course material.

 

Other than that, youtube is a great source of information, as well as Coursera, Udacity, and Udemy. Some of their stuff requires payment, but if I remember correctly, you can view the content for free. I may be mistaken though. There is also the aforementioned CodeAcademy. There is also Lynda.com, but you will definitely need to pay for that. As you get into development you can also have a look at http://www.codewars.com/ which is a site with real world challenges you can complete. They get quite tough, but they do improve your ability to problem solve.

 

Hope that helps.

A few more things, if you're looking for a language to learn, I'd recommend C++ as your first. Most people advocate Python, but if you're going to go into depth with development and want to explore the underlying concepts, C++ won't hide the ugliness of computers from you, and it'll still give you access to Object Orientated stuff. I learnt it first and I think it definitely helped me grasp concepts in "easier" languages faster.

Learn programming by.. programming! For your uses, Python would be great IMO.

May I suggest learning C if your intention is to study Computer Science in higher education. The principles of C will show up in many other languages (especially Java, Python, C++ and many other C based languages).

 

Another reason to learn C is because it is reasonably close to the machine language (therefor it is often called a higher assembly language). Things like 'optimization techniques' and such will be much clearer if you learn C first.
