This guide is meant to be something that you can start today on and to finally settle if coding is something you're truly interested in. This isn't a comprehensive guide since there are so many different languages, frameworks, libraries, and technologies you can learn.. This is just a basic introduction to get you started. This guide excludes game development!
If you take this guide seriously, you're guaranteed a coding-related job within the next 1-4 years (depending if you're going the self-taught route, bootcamp, or computer science). This can open up so many doors for you, career and financial-wise.
I think what you should do first is take a quick basic introduction to programming and computer science "course" to see if you even like it to begin with. I think before you decide to invest money into ANYTHING, utilize the free resources that already exist (Youtube, Free Course Websites, Forums, Reddit, etc). And then you can decide if you actually want to pursue it and what to even pursue..
And then after that dwelve into what specific languages, frameworks, etc you want to even learn. That way you can decide if computer science is for you, if you want to get into a bootcamp, go the self-taught route, go to tradeschool, etc. You should also look up the specific job titles/positions in your area to see what they are requiring (ignore the years of experience stuff since it's BS) you to know.
Here's a few other vids I liked (alot of gems). I think you should watch ALOT of the vids on this channel (since he interviews graduates and real developers), generally, and join the guy's lives when he has them. There aren't alot of people who join (usually less than 40) so you'll always get your questioned answered for free when it comes to development/programming, since that's what you wanted to get into. And once you figure out what languages you want to learn, go to those specific subreddits, forums, and youtube channels based around them and absorb up all the info you can get.
Books I recommend (no matter what language you pick up, these are def highly suggested):
Other things I suggest:
Network early (the first day you decide to get started, infact) and find communities around whatever languages (etc) you've chosen. This may seem like common sense but alot of people do not do this. If you do this, people in those communities will keep you on the right track and help you eventually land your first job, no matter if you go the college route, bootcamp route, or self-taught route..
