    You can work toward both ends by trying to engage in something that cultivates marketable skills.

    Khan Academy style sites are a population recommendation, but not your only option. Once upon a time, I learned quite a bit of coding working with robocode and had a blast doing it.

    You could also get a VPS and see what you could get up and running on it. Maybe your own Lemmy instance! (admittedly that option is not free)

        Try to figure out what you want to build. That will make a big difference towards what you learn. I’m partial to C# for gamedev, but there is so much out there. If you really have no idea, Python is a good multi-purpose language that can get you used to programming.

      Yes, robocode is fun. I got thrown in the deepend with that and a coding assignment.
