I'm a non-IT student and I'm really interested in learning to code. I want to understand the best way to begin my journey into programming. What languages should I consider, and what resources or methods would you recommend for someone starting from scratch?

When deciding how to start, think about your goals. Are you looking to solve a specific problem, or interested in coding because IT jobs pay well? Identifying your motivation can help guide your learning process. There's tons of material out there, but a clear goal can provide direction and focus.
You absolutely don’t need an IT degree to start coding! I suggest picking a language like Python, which is super beginner-friendly. Check out free resources like freeCodeCamp or The Odin Project to build your foundation. Focus on basic concepts such as variables, loops, and functions, and try to work on small projects like building a calculator or a to-do list.
Yeah, knowing why you want to learn can make things way easier. It gives you that push to keep going when things get tough!
