Across this vast Fediverse, I have encountered a trend of people answering questions with esoteric programming language speaking in tongues that I don’t understand, including under my own posts. I am a Boomer when it comes to coding and I am only 27. I don’t even know where I would start to learn it because programming is so diverse. I want to feel like I know what’s going on but I don’t. Coding is the future and the future is now and I am lagging severely behind. I guess I’m asking where a bumbling novice like me can learn more about where to start when it comes to programming.

    My first programming language was Basic on a Tandy TRS-80, you fetus.

    Edit: VB6 was pretty awesome.

      Extended color basic on the COCO was amazing, and so when I moved to a Commodore 64 I was like “What the hell is this? Where’s all the graphics commands?”
