Can you actually teach yourself to code using YouTube videos?

[ChaosReignsOnSomeSaturday]

I'm looking into learning Python to try and get one of those Digital Nomad style jobs, and I was told Python would be most versatile. I kinda know Java but it's been years since I've actually tried coding.

no

Depends, I guess. How Indian are you exactly? Would a thick currymuncher accent warbling over the top of the world's loudest generator in the background as he tries to explain what an "Inte-gger" is be something you'd be able to follow?

If so, you need to go back knock yourself out. The pajeets have a fucking monopoly on those Youtube coding videos somehow, and there must be a reason.

You can.

Of course you can, but only the basic part of it. Coding is a lot about problem solving which can't be taught really, but the functions and syntax can be. You can also find a lot of websites and other things that will give you projects which don't just handhold, as the best way to learn stuff like this is to brute force a project with the handful of tools you have learned.

As much as anything else. Books, videos, tutorials, etc. All you need is a set of rules & parameters nearby to consult with, ie, same as any language.

I’d find a good collection of code base for the language I want to know better, then, start using it. Try a tutorial & executing simple commands. If you’re really rusty, go review some HTML, something basic & easy to get into the groove again.

If you want a coding job, you should skip Python and go straight for Java. There are lots of resources online for teaching kids how to become future trannies learn to code for future tech jobs.

Short answer: yes.

Long answer: The first question you want to ask yourself when you want to "learn to code" is "what do I actually want to do?"
Coding is a very broad field that works differently depending on what you're doing. If you know what you actually want to do, there's a plethora of youtube videos that will walk you through the steps of the development process and you'll learn how to do that as long as you pay attention and not just rely on monkey-see/monkey-do shit.
If the only answer you can muster when asked "what do you want to do?" is "code." Then coding really isn't for you.

It depends on how people on YT guided you throughout. If you're interested in coding and you want to see it via video, the it's a good luck for you to learn it thoroughly.

For code supremacy, they lack vagene.

Tbh I'm not sure. I don't just "want to code" but I'm not really sure what exact field of it I'm interested in yet. That's why I was gonna go with Python because I heard it was versatile, but idk. I'm really just trying to figure out my situation, capabilities, and options.

Why the fuck would you watch videos instead of reading books/articles about it for an activity that involves writing and reading?
