For example, how do I learn to read this to the point it doesn't look like an alien language?
Sorry it's sideways, I can't turn it lol
Where can someone learn the coding and programming language?

That isn't code.
Below are 3 nearly identical simple programs that just print out their own names. They're written in common, popular languages: C, C++ and Python.
Read them slowly, line by line. You'll recognize some of the English words. What most do is intuitive. There's gibberish that you won't understand until you've written just a tiny bit of code. The stuff after the # are comments that explain what's going on.
3 Sample Programs
The last is in Python. Of the 3, it's the easiest to learn and easiest to be a productive developer. The best way to learn is if you have a problem you're interested in solving. It will focus what you learn rather than just reading a large amount of unrelated stuff.
This question has been asked countless times and it always puzzles me. If you want to be a computer scientist then go to college. It's not a huge mystery. If you simply want to write code to get a job, do the world a favor and don't do it. Only people with a formal education should write software.
That's what the training school and websites would like you to believe. But there is a HUGE difference between learning and education. One is a scientist, and the other is a coder.
Codeacademy, Coursera (mostly for the projects although you have to pay in order to get certifications, the videos didn't help me much-I do not have the attention span required- but the projects helped me because I mostly learn by doing rather by seeing or listening), freecodecamp. Also Indian instructors on YouTube. Those guys are awesome. Don't forget ChatGPT. I have learned a whole damned lot from ChatGPT.
Also I would suggest you to make a Github account. You can keep your projects there and set the visibility to either private or public but it is very helpful to have that. You also need to be more specific regarding the programming language you want to learn or your plans. Do you want on working Frontend? Backend? Full-stack? You need to decide on which programming languages you wish to concentrate on.
Also people claiming that you need university for that, they have no clue apparently. Sure can help but it ain't required. Most of the programmers I have been acquainted with were self taught
Just typos you are just typing fast, it means your brain is going at super speed when typing this, yep I also broke out of that bubble where you feel like you need to rely on schools to get education, it's why I'm not too open to hear what they got to say, I'm trying to find alternatives, from other outside the box thinkers 😆
there are no good free sources... the best is to find a mentor and learn under their wings... it requires a lot of independent work and strong will to actually sit down and try things until they work...
Not sure where you work, but I would never hire a self-taught programmer. They have no clue and just slow everyone else down. Besides, it's like learning to play a song on guitar versus learning music theory. Any monkey can learn a few chords on guitar.
Thanks for making your appearance and reminding me to block you. You have sent me weird ass/messed up messages before. Therefore your opinion is invalid.
@on_my_knees I mentor people who were scammed by companies providing programming bootcamps, and at least till now all of them got good jobs... because companies favor real experience over the name of the school/bootcamp
it's compiled... we work on the source code, which is readable and has comments done by authors, so it's even easier to understand...
the standard time of learning from 0 to mid developer, for my mentees, is 1.5 years... if someone has time daily they can spend on learning, it can be shortened to one year... daily work 4-6 hours
If you are starting from scratch it might be worth getting a hardware project kit that involves basic programming, there is a fair bit of open source stuff and keep kits.
I teach at two colleges that have a programming track as part of their Computer Science curriculum. Since covid there are plenty of programs for student s to go back to school and train for a new career. Many of these programs will be paid for 100% by the state.
For this specific code you can just copy it in AI and it can explain it to you but uf you want to actually learn coding then - For free - any indian youtuber and w3 schools If paid - open udemy or coursera
The only important part is type everything you learn
I had a 'go' at that when I was 17... or 18...1996/ 1997. It was part of my IT college course. I absolutely hated 'Pascal', the programming language we used.
When I was a young child I did some minor programming on a Commodore 64; I did use a manual for that.
There are apps that teach you the one i use to use is called sololearn. It has daily exercises and you learn step by step. If you are really confident they give you a problem to solve through coding, kind of like if a job asked you to develop something type problems.
Also it teach ALL coding languages. Every single one. You just decided what you want to learn. So if you were very studious you could potentially leanrn all coding languages.. and you wouldn’t have to spend a dime… they do have pay versions though
Almost anywhere nowadays. There are many summer institutes that offer basic workshops but there are low-cost online workshops as well. You just missed the annual Wordpress conference for those interested in coding (at whatever level).
My oldest grandson is 15 and attended a "summer college camp" at University of TN where he learned recent programming languages- some Java, JavaScript, lots of Python, etc. When I was in IT, I was learning BAL (our instructor went riding her horse every 2 or 3 weeks and the guys could hardly think about Basic Assembler Language those weeks, since she didn't have time to change out of her jodhpurs), COBOL, FORTRAN and IITRAN (during summer school). Input was via 80-column card punched on an IBM126 keypunch machine.
Microprocessors don't understand a command like Set Weeks=7; they have bytes that represent that. That's why the code you included looks like random characters. The code you type is readable, but the syntax is very precise. For instance, "get Website" is not the same as "fetch Website" or "load Website". That's what you'd learn on Skillshare. The *compiler* takes what you typed, and converts it to a program that the computer can read. There are some exceptions to this, like Javascript, which is embedded into web pages and the user's computer interprets the text directly.
A good place to start is the free version of Visual Studio. You can create websites, desktop apps, and more with that.
