I have a passion for programming for a long time, there are many things I love about it, but one of the best things is that anyone with a cheap laptop can learn. Very little is required to get started besides access to a computer and a desire to learn. You don't need a fancy computer or expensive software or be a mathematical genius.
Just a basic understanding of computers, files/folder structures, and typing. This will be all you need for your first step into creating something that brings you the quiet satisfaction of knowing you turned sparks of electricity into something that, for a moment, only lived in your head and can now be shared with the world.
But every artist needs their canvas, and coding is as much an art as it is a science. So you need to get some basic tools.
- A computer (nothing fancy, 2 megabytes of memory, and 1 gigahertz processor should do)
- Amazon has lots of PC's under $200 US.
- A code editor (or any text editor)
- I recommend VS Code, it is easy to learn, and has lots of plugins. It currently is the standard in 2023.
