So I have always wanted to learn to code, and a few years ago I didn't know how to. After lots of Googling and some wasted time, I have done the following :
a) About 2/3s of the FCC and Odin Project
b) One Python course (which I hated)
c) A bunch of Unity content (Gamedev.TV)
What I know about myself now is that I actually like to code, but I like some areas more than others. I would say I'm at journeyman level - I wouldn't hire myself, but I am far from a beginner. I've coded a simple Java game and a simple Unity game. I also read way too many articles when I didn't know what I was doing.
I like web and game development the most. I dislike data analysis, data visualization and security. I found it easier to learn to code in general when studying gamedev, because I could relate everything to gaming examples. (I'm a gamer)
So...where do I go from here? I did a broad sampling of stuff, so maybe full-stack? Focus on one field? It seemed that coding is like all areas in that you eventually specialize, even though there are key shared principles. What's a good combination of employable and fun?
(Full disclosure - I skipped some of the parts of FCC and Odin I didn't like or that I found too hard to get through, which is why I didn't complete them. I have also not done all the projects.)
