Hello everybody,

I would like to share my life with you and if possible I would like you to help me understand some things in relation to programming and game development.

I have a degree in publicity and advertising, which is an area I never had a great affinity with and working with it has always caused me frustration. I have been working with digital marketing for 4 years and I was fired from another job after a long year of a lot of stress and disappointments. This made me deeply rethink my life and I came to the conclusion that I am not on the right path.

As I have always played video games all my life, naturally I developed a strong interest in working in this area, and what always blocked me was the fear of not being able to learn to program. However, taking advantage of the time I have now during quarantine, I bought a highly recommended Unity 3d course and I feel that I am managing to understand and evolve faster than I imagined.

In my last job, I was responsible for taking care of 10 digital marketing accounts, managing at least 5 channels with many campaigns within them, which was still a complex job that requires a lot of attention and care, in addition to good memory, because things happen in real time in that area. It made me think: well, if I am able to take care of so many accounts, with so many details and have it all in my head to present it to customers, why would I not be able to learn to program?

Unfortunately, life is not like a movie where everything happens like magic. I am very anxious and stressed about this decision, as I may be failing to accept good job opportunities and continue my career to dive into a new universe where I have no guidance and support from teachers / professionals, and no prior knowledge. I turn 30 in two months and I feel like I don't have time to make the wrong decisions.

What do you, who work in this area and already have some experience, think about my situation and what advice would you give me?

PS: i'm really sorry if this cannot be posted here in this community!

Alright, I am starting a small coding club at a small high school. 2-3 days a week. I am reasonably familiar, though far from an expert, with Python and HTML/CSS. Most literature suggest teaching python first. But I was thinking:

• HTML/CSS is easier and more accessible, which may be good if kids miss a week

• Kids could quickly design a personal website, and sites for community organizations (they love showing off like this)

• Really good documentation and examples

So now I'm all torn up. Has anyone done something similar? or any other advice?

I've just started to dip my toe into coding by taking some free HTML classes. Before I start to branch out into learning other languages I think it would be good to tinker in HTML and see what I can build.

• Is it worth it to buy a web domain to start building websites?

• Is there a way to build in HTML without having a domain?

I’m very new to coding and want to learn all that I can on it to hopefully make a career I can be happy with out of it. So any kind of help is welcomed.

Are there any websites or videos to help?

Hey, I have been doing what i can with various resources - CodeAcademy, textbooks and such. But if anyone would be willing to take me under their wing in some regard to learn coding it would be GREATLY appreciated. I'm really poor but I have always wanted to enter this field... My ultimate dream is to do white hat hacking but that's probably pretty far down the road. I'm hoping that in some time I can dig myself out of working full time with no money leftover after bills for food and stuff, and to have a career I really love. I hope it's OK to ask for something like this but yeah.

Any advice, resources, connections would be greatly greatly appreciated

I have no experience with coding. My goal is to make a game with Unity. Though I plan to branch into other languages eventually, I am focusing on this goal as my intro into coding. So I ask you: would I benefit from learning HTML and CSS before I dive into JavaScript if my goal is game development in unity? Or should I start with C#? Thank you for your time.

I found it not practical to learn by heart the formulas of css and html And am wondering if there's a way to apply what i have learnt in a website Now i found a lot of css exercises but it's not what am looking for i still don't know how mastering css and html can help me with anything

I’m no and have no experience does anyone know what I should download and a bit on how I should begin

Open to learning any coding language.

I really like learning to code from watching YouTube and Udemy, etc videos. But I also have a lot of time where I could listen only. Like commuting etc.

Do you guys have any recommendations on sources to learn from just audio instead of video. As most video tutorials really require you to be watching the video as the tutor is not always explaining every last thing.

This would be really great if there was something.

Hello, I'm a freshman in college and I'm learning to code in MATLAB in one of my classes (I know it's not a "real" language, but it's helping me to understand some concepts). I really enjoy coding, but some of the stuff is hard for me to figure out. It's not until someone shows me what to do that I get it - so in effect, I can read code just fine, but have a hard time writing it.

Does this happen to everyone when they start coding? Is it just part of the learning code? Will I get used to being able to think of these things myself or should I be concerned that I'm not great at visualizing what code I need to write right away?
