The best way to learn programming is by building real projects and combining that with structured learning. Here's my recommended approach: 1. **Start with the fundamentals**: Begin with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript 2. **Build projects**: Create small projects to apply what you learn 3. **Read documentation**: Get comfortable with official docs 4. **Join communities**: Participate in forums like Stack Overflow and Discord servers 5. **Practice consistently**: Code every day, even if it's just 30 minutes Remember, everyone learns differently, so find what works best for you!

I'd like to add to Emma's excellent answer. As someone who's been coding for 10+ years, here are some additional tips: • **Don't jump around too much**: Pick one language and stick with it for at least 3-6 months • **Use version control early**: Learn Git from the beginning • **Read other people's code**: GitHub is a goldmine for learning • **Don't be afraid to ask questions**: The programming community is generally very helpful Also, consider pair programming with more experienced developers when possible. It's one of the fastest ways to improve!
• Be respectful and constructive
• Provide detailed, helpful answers
