This is my first time using treehouse and have no understanding of code at all. Where's best to start with this program?

My goal at the end of all this is to fully understand code from the ground up and then create and build my own iOS app/game. I'm just struggling to understand where i am best to start?

I am a beginner myself and people have suggested me to start with html, css and javascript since those are the abc's of web development and programming. After that, it becomes more dependent on your future goals.

That's a good suggestion, much appreciated. I will start there.

Thank you

Hi Lee,

If you have no coding experience at all, I'd strongly recommend starting with the Digital Literacy Track and then branch out from there. This track will give you the basic knowledge needed to begin you journey of learning code.

Keep coding! :) :dizzy:

Hi Jason,

Having reviewed the Digital Literacy Track, it makes complete sense to start with it. Less chance of just staring aimlessly at the computer screen going forward.

Many thanks :)
