Coding looks mysterious from the outside. It is really just writing very exact instructions, one small step at a time.
Pick something you want to make
A small web page, or a little game. A goal you care about will carry you through the confusing parts.
Type it, break it, fix it
Reading about code only goes so far. Change something, see what happens and try to work out why.
Errors are not failure
Every programmer sees errors all day. An error message is the computer telling you where to look next.
A little, often
Fifteen minutes on most days beats one long session a month. Small habits add up.
