I'm totally new to coding but eager to start my learning journey. I don't have any programming experience, but I'm pretty tech savvy in other areas. As a certified Apple ACiT and ACMT technician who runs an Apple repair and home networking business, I thought learning Swift would be a good choice since I'm familiar with the Apple ecosystem. However, I'm also open to suggestions for other beginner-friendly languages if there's a better option out there. My main concern is finding accessible resources that won't break the bank since I'm not in a position to spend a lot on courses. What do you all recommend for starting out with Swift?

To be honest, I'd recommend skipping Swift for now if you're a complete beginner. It can be a bit complex and has some frustrating aspects like inconsistent error messages. Maybe try starting with a simpler language like Python instead? It's much more beginner-friendly.
There are plenty of resources online to get you started with Swift. I’d suggest checking out the official Swift documentation at https://docs.swift.org/swift-book/documentation/the-swift-programming-language/. It's a solid starting point!
Thanks for this, mate!
Good to know. What language would you recommend for a starter?
