Programming - Get Started with the Basics Online

Learn the basics of computer programming online.  The idea of getting into programming might seem like a really high bar to cross.  The internet makes it easy to get access to all kinds of information and computer coding is available on the web.

One of the sites that I like is called code academy.  You can sign up for free and within a few minutes, you can be on your road to learning how to code.  The interactive training is simple to follow.  

Learning how to code opens the door to more online opportunities.  Are you familiar with terms like php, phython or ruby?  These are just a few of the topics that you can learn on the site.

You might try a computer programming class, but you find that you really don't enjoy it.  This is still okay, because you are picking up a new skill and it might have other benefits.

Learning how to code is a basic training in how to solve problems.  It will require thinking in different ways and overcoming obstacles.  You will learn to pay attention to detail.  Coding syntax that contains errors will not run properly.  Coding software is all about rules.

The web is filled with all kinds of content.  You don't even have to stop with just the programming tutorial sites.  You could use youtube to type in some of the popular coding languages and find plenty of videos that walk you through different levels of coding.
