Udemy is pretty good. Just make sure you’re doing projects too. What you’re learning won’t be helpful unless you can apply it.

Learning to code at a professional level takes more than just learning to write code. One must learn about data structures and algorithms, relevant mathematics, solution architectures, and software design. It’s also useful to work with others who are skilled and proficient in these topics, as cross-pollination is a powerful skill builder. Ultimately, it’s a journey. Participating in an open source project can also be helpful.

Udemy is helpful for exposure to topics, but I highly encourage you to come up with simple ideas for your own projects. Following along with a class isn't enough to lock in the concepts or gain confidence.

I've heard free boot camp is good too.

This may be bad advice, but I personally love to see when new coders are active with github. Learning git and using GitHub helped prepare me for future as a software engineer working in teams.

If you want to learn to code, you absolutely can do it! You have to persist past the self-doubt and struggle of feeling like a beginner. Practice practice practice and it will pay off.

I used Udemy to learn how to create an iPhone app that eventually ran on an Apple Watch. I have a developer background (CompSci degree) so I'm not the best example but it gave me what I needed to take off.

No matter what you use, type the code don't copy and paste it. You will make minor typos that you'll have to fix but the fixing will help you become more familiar with the language.

I did the Apple Watch project in 2015 that’s so long ago I have no idea which course I used but it was an iPhone course from that u could create something for the watch.

Agreed with the above. Also, what is your end goal?

Do you want to become an engineer? Or do you just want to dip your toe and write some personal use scripts?
