I want to learn how to code and customize forums.
Where should I start?
 
You want to "code and customize forums"...

Right, there are two ways that one can interpret this.

You either want to learn to code your own forum software, and customise current software with plugins.

If you're interested in creating your own forum software, go find some online tutorials such as this one and then come back when you've gained a lot of experience in PHP coding, and working with databases, etc.

Or you want to create custom themes, and customise themes.

Now, if you want to create custom themes, and customise themes. That's much easier, and the one that I'd presume you're interested in.

Go to CodeAcademy, sign up there. Sign up for some of the HTML (HyperText Markup Language), CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) and JS (JavaScript) tutorials. Then learn to use them together, get familiarized, and then go find a tutorial on how to get started with theme creation.

Even better, go have a look at some existing themes, play around with them, and see if you can understand them.
