To most people, computer code very much has a Matrix-like feel, with letters, numbers and symbols somehow making up the apps we use and the websites we visit. Behind all of that are the people who understand coding and are able to build and maintain it all.
Many coders knew it was what they wanted to do a long time ago and went to school for it. But for anyone who has only recently decided it is something they'd like to learn to do, there is an outstanding free option that will teach you.
You can learn from anywhere
Check out Codecademy.com and what you will find is a place that will teach you how to code at no cost. Just create an account with a username, email address and password or sign in via a Facebook, Google or Github account, and get rolling.
According to the site, "Whether you're writing your first line of code or transforming your career, start with us and get the technical skills you need to skill up and stand out." It's not just a tag line, either. It actually works.
Codecademy is an education company that focuses on the learning experience. Their take on teaching and learning is unique, as their goal has been to look at educating from a different perspective.
They have a variety of free courses which then lead on to less free ones in the hope that you will spend some money with them.
