Before You Begin:

Coding is amazing. You can create so many cool things with it!
Create apps, automate things, make video games, websites, and SO much more.

Before diving in, I strongly suggest starting with block-based coding to understand the basics. Once you feel confident, move on to the text-based coding! It is very similar to the blocks. Text-based coding opens many possibilities, but also requires better spelling and reading skills.

If you like video games, then definitely check out Game Dev! I have a lot of resources for learning about the Godot game engine, my favorite game engine for how easy it is to use, yet powerful.

If you're more interested in design, I'd recommend trying out Web Dev, making websites with HTML, CSS and JavaScript. It's fun if you're good at making things look pretty or want to have a place of your own on the internet.

Troubleshooting:

Is your code not running?
Is it doing something it shouldn't be doing, or isn't doing what it should be?

Try troubleshooting!

First things first: Do you know what line of code is not working or causing issues?
Most coding programs will tell you exactly what line the error is on and what type of error it is.
If you don't know which line of code is wrong, step through your code line-by-line,
starting with your first line of code, until you find a line that could possibly cause the issue.

Next, ask yourself the following questions
for each line of code being ran:
