I have a feeling I'll be learning by virtue of reading your blog. There used to be a browser extension, either Firefox of Chrome  that you could see the code of a website if you had that extension. Firebug? Seems like that could be it. Could be beneficial maybe?

Great post. It was 18 years ago when I taught myself HTML/CSS, and then 2 years later I taught myself PHP. (NOTE: Taught myself = learned from the web as you are advising.) Following that I learned javascript as well. These technologies have earned me a pretty good living these past 18 years, though I've continued learning others. However, PHP/HTML/CSS/javascript remain my bread and butter.

thanks you! Sublime Text or Brackets is best for codeing! you got a new fan here! i am really intreasted in html php java script! i am computer science student it really beneficial to me! i m following you!thanks

woww

Concise and super beneficial. Thank you for curating these resources! You're quite right, people want to join in and code the future on the steem blockchain. I'm one of them!

Nice choice to learn programming!
But would recommend you to learn some other langue first so you can learn programming in more depth. 
But I wish you the best of luck :)

tried some coding before, on codeacademy, didn't learn much but FreeCodeCamp looks interesting, thank you for this useful post man

I want to say something in JavaScript. Some think that JavaScript works only in the form of web page form validation and some dome manipulation. And it is a client side language that can run only in the browser.But the ideas are 100 percent wrong. From server side and network programming, mobile and desktop app development, game development to Internet of Things, machine learning, this JavaScript will also be seen. And it has been built on intermediate language and has been developed on some sub languages ​​like Capsiscript, TypeScript etc.

I'm a computer engineering student. I just started learning Java and I'm having a hard time. I would like to thank you for throwing up a resource that could help me.@cryptoctopus

Congratulations @cryptoctopus!

I’d love to be a part of this with you and we can learn from one another through this journey and it would be pretty cool if you post videos of what you learn so everyone can learn with you.
I’m glad to come on this ride with you! Are you using your blog to reinforce your studies like you were saying you do in yesterday’s blog?

This is great.  
I also really like Team Treehouse for online programming courses.  It's a monthly fee of $25 but you can do as many courses as you desire, and there is lots of help if you get stuck.  They even do little quizzes to make sure you're learning. 

HTML/CSS is a great first step... and essential for any web application.  This very much feels like when anyone could create mobile phone apps, lots of people made a lot of money in those early days.

Man the more you keep posting about this, the more you make me think about learning it. I knew HTML in high school, and it was fun to build graphics using words. I'm done with school in March, and I'll be thinking about learning code really hard.

like this is very good

Wow nice post
So if I understand correctly, we'll all follow your course in HTML/CSS/Javascript by simply following your blog? Count me in! Let's develop some cool web applications for Steem!
Thanks for sharing

I know c , ++c .And I keep on learning.... @cryptoctopus

What a great idea.  I guess you knew that.  I'm in.

The one place that I didn't see mentioned and have used in the past is CodeAcademy.  Also free and I've gotten a lot from it.  

Thank you for another opportunity on Steemit.

@cryptoctopus I just started learning to code for a very similar reason. I really recommend sololearn.com. SoloLearn has a great community and courses covering most of the popular coding languages. It also has an easy to use app,  so you can learn on the go too! 🤙🏿🤙🏿🤙🏿

So far, incredible development from blockchain.

I agree with most everything you have written here.  I also agree that at times, the formal instruction sites are pretty useful and will give you a more structured learning process.  In my world, I believe that I learn best by doing projects, having to problem solve inside those projects, and then doing more projects.  These have been my best teachers in almost all I have done.  Thanks for sharing.

Good info to share with other students wanting to learn coding.... programmers and developers are really in high demand in a world of tech and internet.... Thanks for sharing this info with the community.

Nice Post !

I have always been interested in the coding world but I have never really involve myself in there. I am interested in following your journey and perhaps joining in. 

I would like to know what kind of websites are you planning on developing? I mean, I know they will be steem related, but what would their theme be?

Interestingly enough, I am working on a Steem Blockchain App as an experiment to see if my skills are good enough. I have never worked with an API before so you can imagine I am super excited to learn something new. I have so many ideas that I want to test out.
Does the The Web Developer Bootcamp course provide great information to achieve this @cryptoctopus? Let me know. I wish you all the best in this endevour and I can't wait to see what you come up with.

Not expert at website development but to the few that i am operating, i have to ask programmer to modify the content and designs , he uses php for development and i dont know whether he is super expert in php or php really is easy to learn. He always use to say, its easy to implement, it won't take time, so i think you should give a try to php

I'm also thinking of learning Javascript or python , people told me i should start with javascript.
During the last 3 months, I have received a huge amount of information between html and css3 that I feel my head will explode, I had no experience in coding. i was a simple graphic designer junior & 3d modeler but now with HTML and CSS i feel i can make projects even more creative
Actually I just finished my portfolio web page. i just need to upload it.

Yes @cryptoctopus, I will like to learn how  develop websites for this blockchain.

@cryptoctopus I love w3schools and stackeroverflow. I know frontend languages like html and css as well as back end languages and databases. By far the most useful online is html but in creating backend work it takes a bit more. Some good IDE tools Brackets.io , visual studios, Dreamweaver, Atom by Github. Really hope you love learning it

> **What language should I learn first?**

>In 2017, there is a huge amount of choice in front of us and just like when we face the toothpaste section at the grocery store, the amount of choice can be overwhelming.

>There is no "Correct" answer to that one. Usually, people would say:"Whatever language allows you to get started fast and see the result as soon as possible.

In your other posh about programming, I told you how I learnt programming alone but fell out on the way because things began to look complicated and difficult to understand.

At that time, most persons recommended **Java** as the programming language to learn first and I kinda believed them.

But now that I'm starting afresh to learn programming, I think I should stick to your advice:

>This is why I would say that the easiest languages to learn are by far HTML/CSS. Everything that happens in a web browser is a combination of HTML/CSS/Javascript. I'm no expert but it seems obvious to me that this is a good path to get started on, especially if you have a similar goal than mine.


I've seen this recommendation countless of times and I think I'll stick with this.

Thanks for spending time to share this with us. I'm grateful.
