Does anyone know if the same 401k rules apply at EY as Accenture so they will cap the contributions coming for your check say if you hit the yearly limits in August? So if you hit the 22,500 in 23 there is no way to go over for tax issues. Thinking to frontload next year contributions if market is down. EY

Codacademy. Free and super duper easy.
As a coder myself I would do what many have recommended here. If you are interested in getting your feet wet, check out code academy or udacity. They are free but very very limited in what you will learn. Boot camps will teach you a more, some of them even enough to get a job (the intensive 3-6 months ones), but are much more expensive. University or community college is your best best if you would like to learn a language like C++ or JAVA as they are more complex. First you should determine what you want to do: make websites (php, JavaScript, HTML), make mobile apps (objective C, JAVA), work on enterprise software (java, C++, Python), or data manipulation/analytics (SQL, R).
Coursera,
What type of development do you want to do? Web apps? Mobile apps? More analytics focused stuff (SQL?) Python is a good starter. Or learn Basic HTML / CSS (not hard, I taught myself).

Thanks all for the great tips!
Is there a particular code you're interested in learning? What's your end goal?
Same here. Related - are coding boot camps worth looking at? Feel like some are scams but some could be a great way to learn skills and start your own venture
Coding bootcamps are expensive $$$, but they'll get you a developer/coder job if that's what you really want. I have a few friends that have done it.
I second codeacademy!
It depends on what you want to code. Such as visual business analytics, develop sophisticated software, automation, application development, etc. what you want to create will help determine the language you should learn to excel at. Some languages are more user friendly too for beginners. Python might be a good start because it can be used to develop many programs and the syntax is easy to read. SQL is useful for collecting/organizing data and easy too. Hopefully that helps
I asked this q a few weeks ago and got some helpful replies to learn Python. I downloaded the Pythonista and tutorial app and am getting started with it 😕
There's a lot of great content on Udacity
Web development (HTML, CS, JS) is relatively easy to get into and relatively feasible to become pro at if you desire; Codeacademy is a great place to start as a beginner and a Bootcamp if you get serious. Python is also fairly realistic; Java, C++, or any other compiled languages probably not unless you are a genius, or only want it to be a hobby, or are willing to go back to school (university not Bootcamp) for it.
That's CSS not CS.
Can't say more than what's already been said. I'd say learn towards something you want to do. Coding is difficult/boring to learn without a goal or interest.
Yes I agree with D5, coding can be boring as hell to learn in the beginning. You feel like your in the matrix and it's like what the hell am I doing. The bigger picture comes later. Don't forget that. Because when I first started I hated it, and it took the right teacher to make sense of it so that I could see the bigger picture and fall in love with it.
Udacity will help... and so does coursera. Boot camps are a waste of money.
