Hey everyone,

Today I am making a little different post. I've been pretty busy in school trying to catch up with all the courses at the same time while I am learning coding both in school and on my free time. I have started to learn a lot faster now that I have found some good tools to help me out though. I don't know how many here are interested in programming but even if you have basic knowledge of computers I really think you could find this to be very interesting and fun at the same time. ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmdhcoszDykx8QJCc1eqFHrF2n6mEdqTBm2UQM2BeztyLg/image.png) ___ Learning IT in school is a little bit defuse because the teacher obviously tries to teach us as much as he can but it isn't nearly enough to just be good at listening. We have to do a lot ourselves since otherwise it's basically impossible to learn and to actually understand the way of programming. Usually we get a task and then It's up to us to find tutorials and stuff on the internet and actually just follow them step by step which in my opinion doesn't teach us anything. The tool I use in school is [CodeCademy](https://www.codecademy.com/) and our teacher approves of this site. For those of you that haven't used this before then just so you know it's a code learning platform. They have different courses for different languages and make it very simple to follow since you also see the code that is running so you can get a sense of what is happening in the background. It works very well and I still use it to this day. ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmUX68d1QKitdz23gF4NNo5aJ78b2him91E2scoQCuTLKC/image.png) You can sign up for free and start off with their simple free courses or one of the more advanced ones. ___ The other tool that has helped me out a lot is [Udacity](https://www.udacity.com/) and they also offer a lot of courses for pretty much everything. Udacity is a big community where you even can give out your own courses and I happened to stumble upon this post on Reddit that offered a lot of different courses for free or for sick discounts. So if anyone is just getting in to coding or maybe just wants to challenge himself. If anybody wants to check it out then here is the link for that post: [Udacity Coupons](https://www.reddit.com/r/learnprogramming/comments/3zfbp1/heres_a_list_of_221_free_online_programmingcs/?st=j7zmfp9m&sh=a9c036f5). Even if you don't code or only know someone who does than definitely check out these coupons since they can get you some incredible deals and sometimes even for free. ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmaLgQdpu1DA1qeRzdiKjQM9sTD6fLDD6Mo8VHfg7TtEkD/image.png) So this is basically how I've been trying to improve my knowledge in coding and I feel like I'm definitely making steps in the right direction! For the actual coding I mostly use the application Brackets since it's very simple and offers a lot of great plugins for every language you can think of and that make the coding a little more easy or simpler to understand. You can check it out as well as download it on their website: [here](http://brackets.io/). It's open source and I think one of the better text editors I've seen out there. ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmWcGiCyexF7Vy4ENxpCJJ7sMcYsZUjx67e4KpfmW6MTse/image.png) ___ So I mostly wanted to make this post in hope of other "noob" developers out there could find some help from the links and info I provided. I definitely think that coding is something that most of us can learn even completely alone and if anyone feels like they want to learn something new or just want a new career than this is one of those DYI careers. I know a few people that decided to leave their profession at age 30-40 and after teaching themselves a little coding they instead started working IT. I hope someone at least can take something useful from the information I provided. Myself I have to start getting ready for school and some more coding myself. I will be back here later today. Have a great start of the week everyone. Kick this Mondays ass.
