I've got a background in theatre, but during my last semester, I started playing around with Lua. It's pretty basic, but I'm really interested in diving deeper into programming. Back in middle school, I made games and enjoyed it, but I faced some bullying from friends that discouraged me. Now that I'm thinking about pursuing this seriously, I'd love any advice on where to start or what applications I should consider using!

First off, you should decide if you're more interested in Frontend or Backend development. That way, I can share a roadmap tailored to your goals. Think about what kind of projects or jobs you want in this field. For instance, if you're drawn to game development, learning C++ and C# would be beneficial, especially with engines like Unreal or Unity. If websites are more your thing, you'd want to get familiar with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. And if data science or AI piques your interest, definitely look into Python and libraries like pandas and NumPy! Just remember, programming is a great journey to start, so dive in and explore!
For a great start, check out resources like CODDY.tech or CODDEX.com! They have beginner-friendly content that can help you get the hang of programming. And don't forget to hit up the "New?
