I’m a non programmer, non developer who, many many years ago, used html as a child to create a couple silly and basic websites but have forgotten most all html since then.
I have interest in dipping my toe in the programmer waters once again, but don’t know where to begin. Are there any suggested free services or devices which I could educate myself and practice some code to both learn coding and also find out if it would be of interest to me to dive in deeper.
Would anyone be able to offer a newbie some direction please?

The first question you need to address is "what sort of programming do I want to do?".
If it's web development then W3Schools Online Web Tutorials[^] is a good place to start.
If it's desktop then probably C# is a good choice of language, see .NET Book Zero by Charles Petzold[^].
Also, the Articles section (on the menu above) here on CodeProject has a wealth of great tutorials, although it is not always easy to find those aimed at beginners.

I will start with C# as I have more interest in programming than web design.
Once I begin learning C#, is there a place where I can begin practicing my new knowledge for free? Thank you for helping.

Yes, you can practice on your own PC. Download the free Community edition of Visual Studio from Visual Studio 2019[^], and you can write, build and test as many examples as you wish.

You are welcome; good luck.

Hi,
I'm assuming that you wanted to become a web developer. In my opinion, a good start would be at https://www.freecodecamp.org/[^].It basically guides you from HTML, CSS, JavaScript/ES6, Jquery, React, BootStrap a whole lot more. Moreover; after learning the front end, you can choose which backend solution you want to focus on. Backend devs use languages like PHP, Ruby, Python, Java, and .Net. Good luck.
Cheers,
Jin

Hello Everyone!
I am a Electrical Engineer, I have used basic programming languages such as VBA and Arduino platforms.
I work for a coal mine in WV. I was given the following task:
1. Develop a program that uses a picture of the mine map.
2. Over this mine map I would have movable objects
3. These objects would represent equipment in the mine
4. We move this equipment through out the coal mine. I would like to be able to click and drag and relocate this equipment on the map
5. Also double click and be able to view information that is stored on our shared drive, such as electrical and hydraulic prints for the equipment.
6. Zoom in and out on the map
My hope for this is to get it working on a big screen TV with a touch screen overlay attachment. To run it from a near by designated PC.
I am pretty resourceful I just need a direction to start in and some advice. The mass amounts of information on the web makes it hard to get going in the correct direction.
Thanks in advance

I would expect such a project to require the use of one of the .NET languages, C# or VB.NET and perhaps also WPF. Those products have rich functionality and support libraries for much of what you want. However the actual project would need more than one person to get it complete in a reasonable time. I think you probably need to get a good consultant in to ensure management understand the amount of work involved, and to help get things started.

What I do is go to Amazon.com and search for Python books. I then filter to those with high customer ratings. I read through the reviews and find 1 or 2 that I like. Then I usually go to ebay and buy it.

You're 20. Relax. You have all the time in the world.

You will never fully know everything about the language. But to get proficient will take as long as it takes you, depending on how quickly you learn.
Start with a book and do the exercises. You may find out you don't really want to be a programmer.

How can I download an old version of code/binaries an existing article?
For example if someone posted a code/binarie in 2015 and there were changes from that time, How can I access the original code from 2015?
Thanks in advance.

There is a revisions link on the left side of articles. If it is not there add a comment at the bottom of the article asking that question and it will email the author with your question.

I don't know programming or web-developement. I am looking to buy an application which can offer following features:
1) sales executives who work on field and takes order and can record it.
2) The orders can be recorded and managed through various status like
Pending,in-progress and completed.
3) The clients should be able to receive notification via SMS about their order status.
4) The Admin section should display the reports of total sales.
5) The billing system should record the income,expense,etc.
6) The mobile app version will be helpful for it.
Can you please suggest any ready-made CMS paid or open source offering such features?
Or I should consider hiring a developer to build from sctrach?

Well, accidents happen.
I though I am out of the tentacles of writing ".bat" files.
But ... I have "inherited " a bash script and being "forced" to learn how to write and use bash. I am having tough time to write my questions in proper English, hence I am not welcomed in most of the "forums" I have tried.
Is there a specific forum on this site where I can freely ask about bash and actually learn it from discussions?

Bash is easy if you have already used .bat files. The difficulty comes when someone uses fancy things like find, awk, grep etc. You could see if you can find a copy of the man pages in your own language.
