Im 19 and for years my mother has been telling me to use codecademy but most of its locked behind a paywall. Have any of you used this site, what are your thoughts on it? Are there better totally free alternatives that walk you thru everything?
Someday i want to make games or something like that but im unsure what programming language to choose. I like the look of lua but im not sure if i should go with it or what projects to learn from? Everyone here tells me if i i choose to go with gamedev someday, to pick up godot but i feel im not ready to make games and that i need to start learning the basics.

- Lua is as good as any other language to start with. Python, Ruby are also popular starting languages. If you’re going to continue to program, then you’ll probably change languages several times in your career. What’s important is to learn the generic concepts of programming, such as input/output, looping, functions; once you are familiar with concepts, changing languages isn’t a big deal. Start anywhere and build from there.
