I am really new to online learning, please help me to suggest a good start!

Hi guys,

This is my first post, hopefully, you guys will not laugh on my silly question. I really would like to change my career, I am currently working as IT support.

Could you please suggest a good start with? I only knew some basic programming, and really have no plan in mind.

Thank you guys, please go easy on me, Cheers

Bang,

No worries, and there are no silly questions, so feel free to ask your web questions here, I would suggest you try the course; how to make a website, It covers HTML and CSS its a good place to start. if you have any questions during your learning process please post them on the forum, that's what its there for.

Happy coding.

I actually had a very similar start as you Bang. I worked in IT for 3 1/2 years and spent a lot of my time on the side learning to code. You're giving yourself a great advantage in that you'll understand more of the full stack of technologies.

I agree with Jacob Mishkin , How to Make A Website is definitely the place to go for someone with basic skills. Feel free to ask as many questions as you like, that is what the community is here for!

Good luck and have fun.

I'm new to online learning too. You picked a great place to learn here at Treehouse. I agree with the others. How to make a website is a good starting place. That is how I started and am glad I did. Best to you! Louise
