I recommend trying to solve something practical and learning to code that way. I learnt off my own back with no direct or class-based support. The best and most practical way to get into it is to simply start doing. A very basic primer might help if you have literally zero experience, but beyond that I find that coding courses don't give you the real experience you need to start working on meaningful projects. Just think of something you could solve by coding and get to it. Google is your friend here, type a question in and hunt for the answers. Most coders don't type thousands of lines of code all on their own, they patch bits and pieces of existing code together and tweak it for their particular needs.
Get to it, you can do it.
Yeah,
I have an idea actually.... And it comes from a serious problem (entirely my fault) trying to retrieve a forgotten seed phrase.
I recently moved countries & so memorized the seed phrase. I practiced recalling numerous times before with success.
However as time passes, I guess we don't remember as well as we think.
So I have a 24 word seed phrase and there are 3-5 that I'm unsure. The rest are in their position almost certainly.
So, I'd like create some code to go through those 3-5 positions to find my seed phrase. I've been doing it manually & its taking too long to go through the possibilities.

That's a perfect beginner project, you'll learn a few fundamentals, it's simple enough for almost any beginner to do, but just challenging enough to require some meaningful effort.
