How did you learn to code? I learned using a few different online programs. Such as Codecademy, Khan Academy etc. I'm still not finished learning!
 
I started working on codes in my school days. Apart from that I have done the certified Linux courses from an institution.
 
I learned HTML during a 9th grade high school class, it was probably the best class I could take. It was a super easy credit, and the teacher loved me. It was literally strictly all HTML, and I even got a slow start in the beginning because I had no idea what I was doing. So being about 2 months late ans getting a 99% in the class, I say I did pretty well. :lol:
 
I learned HTML myself by building my own website. I also used code academy to help me learn more and more, eventually doing CSS.
 
I've learned some basic coding my looking things up on the internet. I wouldn't know where else to go to learn that kind of stuff. Unless, I spend hundreds of thousands of dollars going to college and taking some classes in electronics/computers. Even then, they might only teach me the basic stuff so I'm probably better off just looking up stuff on the internet.
 
I learned it the hard way. I jumped in head first, when I came on the coding scene back in 1994 there were no tutorials, you had to buy thick books in specialty programming. HTML wasn't known very much and logic coding was still new to websites. I started like everyone else at that time i picked apart websites and looked at the source to figure out what was what. by the time 1998 rolled around i was learning PHP which was still relatively new and very buggy but since i had a background in C and C++ i picked it up quite quickly.

I officially learned how to code in theory in C and C++ in 1991 when i got my first 1thousand page programming hardbook from a thrift store for $0.50-I was 10 years old, and so started my long journey into the tech world.
