Question

What is the best way to learn code if you are just starting out?

Answer 1

MIT OCW 6.00 http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/6-00-introduction-to-computer-science-and-programming-fall-2008/

Answer 2

I think a good way is reading other people code, basicaly pick an open source project you use and like, get the code and start reading.

Let's say for example you have a blog and use Wordpress, you could just search and download their code and try to understand how it works.

Answer 3

Dont go directly to a programming code. Try HTML first...then maybe you could go to javascript (a scripting language) or python (a programming language). Be patient and go slow

Answer 4

If you're new, I'd recommend Stanford's CS106A "Programming Methodology" http://see.stanford.edu/see/courses.aspx
