Teaching yourself to code: where to begin

2. Practice
Like learning a new language, practice makes perfect. Set yourself individual challenges like making a basic webpage and allow yourself the to play around and be creative. This enables you to understand how this new language works. 

3. Start from the beginning
There are numerous languages, it is best to start by learning one as this teaches you the process of learning a programming language. Python or Java Script are considered beginners languages and are a good place to start.

4. Use tools
If you’re teaching yourself it can sometimes be difficult to see where you’ve gone wrong. Programming sites such as Stack Overflow are open forums where you can post programming questions, whatever your level. 

5. Network
There’s no need to learn alone. The motivation of others can be an excellent tool to learning. There are a number of Facebook groups and Meetup events you can join which can provide you with a community of support.

Good luck!
