learning to code any tips

Hey I'm thinking of taking APCSP does anybody have any tips that helped them when learning to code.

what language do you want to learn, because it depends on your goal

W3Schools is a great teaching resource for CS. I recommend something like python as a 1st language due to its simplicity; you may get stuck with the wordy syntax in a language like Java or C. I personally began w Java in university and am now working as a Full Stack Developer so you'll be ahead of the curve starting with AP (which is a good thing!)

As well as, don't be afraid of documentation. Some projects has shit documentation; others are phenomenal. My suggestion is to use things like W3Schools and StackOverflow to solve some problems, but if you have the chance, read the documentation that's associated with the fix as well so you can better understand how to do the research for yourself when problems that haven't already been fixed are encountered.

well I recommend u to start with something easy like Python: vars, strings, arrays, matrixs, objects,...

Python is probably the easiest programming language to get started with IMO. Generally speaking once you get the syntax of one language down it's usually easier to understand the syntax of another language. I've used sites such as W3Schools, but if you're a person who learns better by visually seeing a tutorial I suggest checking out Zenva's free stuff to see if their service is good for you. Udemy is good too I've heard, but I've never checked their stuff out before.

Traversy Media has a lot of good videos on youtube. There's also develop roadmaps you can find on github. Don't worry if it seems like a lot if you just keep going slowly you'll learn it. Also project based learning is the best. You'll learn more from googling some problem more than just reading.

You have many tutorial on youtube, but it depend what you wan't web, app, mobile, you have good website to to learn : https://www.codecademy.com

Don't try to learn with a big project.

Start with JavaScript and come up with a project work on.
