What is the best way to teach yourself computer programming, development, codes, or anything to do with building websites. Any programs that start right from the ground level from a novices perspective, or is it even possible?
If you go the bootcamp route, make sure you redo all the projects in languages you want to learn. Spend a lot of time preparing for job interview questions (coding examples)
Instead of learning code maybe the question should be what software to use to most easily design sites without having to know coding.
I have like 30 sites I host (all mine) many sexwork related i.e. in the signature). My first was libchrist.com and then sexwork.com when websites were still new and in the days of 300 baud packet readers. I read "HTML for Dummies" and HTML isn't that hard. But then came CSS etc and I just do not have the brain for that I guess. I recall taking some FORTRAN or COBOL and was totally lost. While I am very analytical/nerdy with a CPA background a dunce for coding beyond html.
Its like I was in accelerated math and science classes in high school but when I got into engineering math and physics in college where started for a degree in Electrical Engineering was just too conceptional for me which may be why I don't learn code easily. I was/am amateur radio (ham) and built equipment find until we got into printed circuits etc. So I switched from engineering to an accounting degree and did well.
For website for decades I loved Frontpage (FP) and used them on all my sites (you will find lots of Tables for separating content subjects on many of my sites). After FP died many years ago I have not yet found any software as easy but am trying some! Need WYSWYG. With FP I always did live direct to server not offline and upload FTP. I only pay $25/month for all my sites (reseller acct but all mine) with lots of capacity).
About 10 years ago a Phoenix escort friend totally redesigned by original sexwork.com site. Then she went to prison for bank robbery - true!. I haven't updated it since I am totally clueless or a program I can find to import and make sense of.
The editor I sometimes use in the cpanel most Linux hosts use is crappy. I am all WIndows for PCs, but Linux is much better for web servers and don't need to know any coding serverside. But have used it to update trip information on sexworktoronto.com. I believe sexworkvictoria.com was one of the last sites I did with FP and not changed since.
The problem with canned sites not in your control is like my old sexworkniagarafalls.com site which disappeared when whoever I used to as a host vanished!
You may have a better code friendly brain as many here do, but I gave up long ago and still need to find the best FP replacement when I have any time to update some old sites with outdated formatting.. Hey, I kind of liked the boxed table organization vs the vertical scroll and wasted with huge pictures of many modern day sites!
My business site hutchisonria.com I like and most of it my own via a large firm that specializes in securities sites. Lots of FINRA requirements everything ever on it has to be archived and all content compliance dept submitted. At least I can get at the html coding if their coding screws things up - but some stuff they have css overriding and have to have tech support straighten out.. I originally did my own but with new FINRA rules yeas ago, I would have to hire at a huge cost another site to archive etc.
Bottom line is unless you have a coding mind, look for the best software to use to build website's!
