How do I learn coding?

I've tried to build websites before but using other websites that do it for me basically. I want to learn to do it all by myself but I don't even know where to start, like i seriously have no knowledge on any of this. I've looked at some schools for coding but holy sh*t they're expensive.

    Honestly the best way to learn coding is by doing in most cases. All the very basic stuff is on the internet but a good book to pick up would be one of the Dummies books for website design/programming/coding credit to Thomas E above. Their books are very well worked out for people who need a very basic understanding or base. That will get you started, also check out a local community college they usually have classes that can help you get a little deeper into the concepts of website design, security, and coding. Another good place to check out is YouTube.

    I'm gonna tell you a secret whether you want to hear it or not: your browser is an interpreter. You can write the code for a page with Notepad, save it as an html file and use the Open File option in firefox or chrome to open it. You don't even have to close it first: make changes, save them, then refresh the web page. Your changes will appear. With w3schools or code academy or a book or many many college pages you now can code anything.

    Go there, but I have heard unflattering description of CodeAcademy, beware.

    W3Schools allow running codes, that's for a reason: HTML/CSS/JavaScript does not need IDE nor compilations.

    I'd try Code Academy. It's also free.

    You should check out "TheNewBoston" on YouTube. He has great tutorials all over the coding spectrum. Also "CodeCourse" is a good one for website development.

    You should go to W3Schools. It's not a school it's just a really great website with lots of well-organized tutorials.
