Anyone with young children and grandchildren should make sure they understand computers and coding. Thus is where the real war is.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77285277 How/where is best to start learning code - from scratch and move on levels?
I am interested.
There's free MIT courses on line but they are a bit too advanced for a fresh starter.
Quoting: Concorde Warrior F-BVFA That's a good question, I started a couple years ago with Python, I read a free online book called Automate the Boring Stuff - it steps you through pretty good.
Then I started taking some python courses through Udemy. They have cheap video courses like $11 per course. I've been taking javascript courses now because I'd like to develop my own website with apps.
HTML markup is pretty easy, so is CSS that's just formatting. The behind the scenes stuff takes javascript or python with something like flask for website development.
I'd start out as a hobby, there's no guarantee at all you'll get work coding because we are in a complete war of technology. The Davos elite are trying to send all technical work to Asia, a lot of US engineering shops are just using Asian engineers because they work for 1/10th what western engineers work for.
But you can take advantage of that too, just learn enough coding to break out your project in pieces and use paki or indi engineers to code your black boxes.
It's a war, they want to make everyone dirt poor and allow no one outside their club to gain a technical advantage to raise their standard of living.
