I'm eager to dive into coding, but I'm feeling a bit lost on how to begin. Should I start with JavaScript or Python? Also, which resources would be better for me - FreeCodeCamp or CodeAcademy? I'd really appreciate any advice on how to get started!

Why not try a project-based approach? Go to Google and say something like, "I want to build a project that solves a specific problem. Can you help me learn the right programming language for that?" This way, you'll be more motivated and learn the language that fits your project needs.
A simple start would be to download Python, open the command line, and just start experimenting! Type in commands like '2 + 2' to see instant results. Also, try using tools like PyCharm or Notepad++ for a better coding experience.
You might want to check out the book "Python Crash Course" by Eric Matthes. It's packed with projects that can really help you learn. If you're good at self-study, this could be a perfect fit for you!
Starting with Python is a great choice! It really helps you develop your problem-solving skills, and you'll find that knowing how to implement ideas is crucial, even if the syntax isn't always perfect.
Thank you so much, I will look into this! 🙂
