LEARNING TO CODE ONLINE FOR FREE

When I was younger(I mean like 4 years ago) I always remembered seeing my elder brothers write codes and I thought it was so cool, like the coolest thing I have ever seen. I saw them(my brothers) as the geekiest of geeks, I wanted to be like them, I wanted to be respected the way my mum respected them, I wanted to change the world like they always said, I wanted to do the impossible.Then I was in high school, and I had no cash to attend classes, as they (my brothers) were to busy solving problems as they claimed, with their coding abilities.

I wanted to experience coding, so as I grew, I explored the internet about learning to code, and I discovered I can actually live my dream without having to pay a dime.

likewise every reader out there. You don’t even need to shell out a ton of money or put yourself in debt to learn how to code, either.
