ive seen a lot of people asking how to start learning to code ? what sort of project should i start with ? what language should i use etc etc
well i dont want to get into the endless which language should i start with argument (hehe in the good old days it was easy it was C but now id use js/node or python)
but i would recommend starting with an API based project
you can write a thick client, thin client or a mobile app you can add as much or as little front end or back end functionality (3D charts or a txt table) and back end functionality (history, stats) as you like
the most important thing is to chose an API in an area your are interested and PASSIONATE about for example films, movies, photography, railways, smn, bmn, food or weather
some shortcuts
1 look at github, gitlab & github gists dont be afraid to abandon a git project if make fails just move on to the next one
1 look at official mozilla, chromium docs
1 look at a preexisting commercial offering such as TweetBinder can you make it better ? can you save money by writing your own BTW i really want that TweetBinder functionionality im that close to paying them the £75
once you are hooked (sic) to the world of API coding you will never run out of coding ideas and maybe you can have fun, save money or maybe even make money on your journey
