How do I go about this? Are there any free resources that’ll help me get started?
I see people advising to start with a small project, but you need to get some basics down right? What language? How to develop it and stuff?
My only experience is some very basic C programming classes I took during school.
There’s lots of options for starter projects, but I’d say a great place to start is making yourself a personal web page in html, css, and js. you can host it for free on github, neocities, or nekoweb, and its really cool to make something you can show off.
Even if you don’t stick with html as your primary language, the web is so ubiquitous now that you’ll want to know it eventually!
