Q&A for How to Code

If you can write HTML, CSS, and Javascript, you can write a coded webpage using a code writer and then you can have your website validated and exported onto the web. There are quite a few websites to do this with online, so look around to find the best choice.

Actually, yes you can. All you will need to make it possible is to have a mobile text editor.

If all of your friends know how to code, you should ask them to teach you! There's nothing to be embarrassed about, they all had to start somewhere too. If you really want to do it on your own, codecademy.com and code.org are pretty good resources for beginners.

You can make video games with any programming language. But for making video games, JavaScript, C++, Java and Python are preferred. Python is very easy to use. Learn Python first.

To be an expert programmer, you have to practice a lot. And practice again, try and keep you aware of new coding techniques, new languages, new frameworks. Read a lot of articles, forum, blogs, books. Share with people in community (meet-ups are a good way to start).

For me, to learn the basics of HTML and CSS it took about 10 to 15 hours. I really recommend FreeCodeCamp! It's free and gives good courses in, for example, HTML/CSS, JQuery and Javascript.

I recommend using the Arduino programming language built specifically for the computer boards that Arduino creates. You'll have to purchase one to actually modify the code and see the results you get, but there are other choices.

Try using a game engine like Unity. Or you can make your own using OpenGL or DirectX.

I started coding at the age of 10. It does not matter when you start, as long as you are willing to put in the effort. The sooner you start, the better, because you will have plenty of time to improve and build up your skills.

To create your own website, you should first learn HTML (hyper text markup language). HTML is easy to learn quickly. After you learn HTML, if you want to add style to your website, learn CSS (cascading style sheets), and if you want to add animations and simple games to your website, learn JavaScript. You can code websites for free using Thimble, and last but not least, if you want to create your own applications for Mac and iOS, Apple's programming language Swift is good. (Xcode is a free application on the App Store made for this purpose).

C++ is an evolution of the C programming language.

Learn how to say "Hello World" in any programming language; Java, C++, or C# will probably entice you most. After that, you'll want to learn the basics of programming and start learning the language you want. When you've learned enough, you can start trying small-scale tech demos to practice simple game features (like making an RPG using the console window or move a sprite in a game engine). After you've practiced and learned enough, you can start making larger and larger projects until you can make a small game. From there, you can continue working alone or join an amateur team and make bigger and better games Simplicity is key. You won't be programming AAA games overnight.

You can, but only with HTML5 and JavaScript. You'll have to understand how to draw a HTML5 canvas, and how to react to events like button presses. Searching for "HTML5 games tutorial" will get you some introductions. If you want to create a more complicated game, consider using a framework. A framework implements some functions like getting user input or setting the correct camera position, so that you can focus on coding your game instead of these functions. Again, searching for "HTML5 game framework" will give you more than enough results.

Notepad is a very simple text editor; you can use any other text editor (for example, TextEdit on Mac OS X, Nano on Linux, or Emacs on many systems) instead. Visual Studio is an IDE (integrated development environment), and you can replace it with any other IDE that works on your system with your programming language, if you need one at all.

If you can do troubleshooting on the website/database you are using, do that! You can always use google to look up your coding questions as well, and seek out programming forums where more experienced coders help out the beginners.

It depends. If you are coding to your hard drive and not hosting your website, then yes! If you are hosting your website, however, then try using another computer.

You can, of course, code in raw machine code or binary data. However, nowadays most programmers usually only use a programming language with understandable syntax. So you can know binary, but it is not necessary to know it in order to code.

As much as you can/want, but a good amount of time daily is at least 30 minutes, in the beginning.

Yes and no. A basic one can make a basic video game, but an advanced one can make both basic and advanced video games.

A good place to begin is learnpython.org. It is interactive and very useful for learning Python. You could also use a book for teachers teaching Python.

Yes, there are many businesses that are built by coding. You can, for example, make services, games or be an ethical hacker.

For iOS devices, there is Swift. For Android applications, C++ and Java are the most commonly used languages. You can also use frameworks like React Native and Flutter to write in different languages and export to multiple platforms.

You would need the right platform to code on, such as usually a laptop but sometimes a phone would be fine too. However, for actually learning, you can do that for free, there are plenty of resources online, and most programming IDEs (where you actually write and execute the code), are free, too.

Try using websites such as Scratch, Code.org, Kano, or Tynker. These websites can teach kids the basics of block coding and lets them makes their own projects.

There is no time frame for learning a programming language. "Practice makes perfect." The more you practice, the more you a language. But the basics of any programming(just language without framework) language can be learnt just in 3 to 6 months. The basics include writing functions, understanding data types, compiling etc. After 6 months, you will be able to write small application code.

Start with something simple like Scratch, which will help with problem solving in code and to understand some basics. Then move on to the Python coding language.

C is a great way to learn how computers actually work in terms of memory management, and is useful in high-performance computing. C++ is great for game development. Python is awesome for science and statistics. Java is important if you want to work at large tech companies.

You will want to try to get a computer. Macs are best for coding. Try Scratch first. See the article "Coding" on Scratch.

Try Python. It's a very easy language to learn, and many people start with it.

Code can be done on many other devices such as a PC or a tablet. If you do not have access to any technology, it's still possible to learn essential coding terms and how they work from numerous textbooks, although you won't be able to put this into practice. Another idea is to ask people who have good experience with coding, as they may be able to teach you what they know. If you're lucky, they may even give you access to a piece of tech to show you how coding works.
