Best app to learn programming these days? - lemm.ee

And what’s currently the most in-demand language/skill?

You’re not going to learn much from a phone app. Specially programming.

“Learning apps” are mostly gamified gimmicks. If you never learned programming, you need a good book explaining the concepts of what you’re trying to learn, a computer, a project, and the internet to search when you get stuck.

I know it’s the boring answer, but this is one of those skills that it’s basically a lot of tinkering, exploration, and nose to the grindstone.

Thanks. Appreciate the honesty.

What book would you recommend these days? I want it to become my main profession. I’m a future expat so I’m looking for a way to sustain myself in Europe. I will be looking for an IT-related job, in case this info could help you recommend something fitting.

Re: orizuzu’s comment on python. I’m just starting out too and I’ve really enjoyed Automate the Boring Stuff. I have the course on Udemy, but he’s got the first chunk of it on YouTube if you want to try it out first. There is an accompanying book but I haven’t dived into it, just watching the videos for now. He does a good job of explaining concepts through simple examples that you can type out along with him, which he recommends. Good luck!
