I'm really eager to learn programming but have struggled with traditional methods like watching long YouTube video series. It feels overwhelming to just watch someone code without any interactive feedback. I'm looking for suggestions on online courses that break things down into bite-sized lessons, provide instructions, and then allow me to practice on my own with help available if needed. Ideally, I'm looking for something similar to Duolingo but for coding. Any recommendations? Thanks!

Have you checked out boot.dev? It's a bit challenging and won't hold your hand but people find it really rewarding. I’ve completed the whole course myself and found it beneficial! Let me know if you have any questions about it.
I learned a ton from W3Schools! They offer resources for multiple languages, so you can pick and choose what you want to focus on. It's a good foundation if you want to get started quickly!
If you're looking for a mix of free and effective, you should definitely try FreeCodeCamp.org! It's well-structured for beginners and you can tackle projects as you learn, which really helps with retention.
Thanks, I hadn't thought of W3Schools. I’ll check that out too!
