What is Coding?
You might be asking yourself, what is coding? It is actually very common to get it mixed up with programing or even networking. To the common eye of someone new to information technology they all look similar. However, all three are very different. Networking is getting at least two devices to talk to each other, as when you email someone from your laptop. It is the one further apart from the others and needs other hardware like routers and switches for it. Programing is building an executable computer program that performs a certain task. Coding is the building of a website using language and the computer being able to understand it.

Types of coding languages
If you are still confused it is okay, we are going to get more into it. First before you begin with coding you need to know there is many to choose from. Top few coding languages that you have probably heard off are JavaScript, Python, SQL and Java. To just name a few there are many others out there you can research. They all have pros and cons and are all a little different in how you use them or maybe it is only for a certain operating system.

Ways to start you coding journey
If you are like me than you need a way to begin and practice to learn. This is how I started to learn and get better at coding and making webpages. First download notepad++ it is a free program you can google and download. With it you can use HTML and CSS to create webpages. There are many ways to learn how to code a webpage a website I love to use is W3schools. It has step by step from top to bottom on creating a website.
