Okay, so. ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
zero2perl is probably not ever getting off the ground. Does anyone have any recs for learning to code, ideally in a self-paced and minimally-expensive manner? (Or more accurately relearning, because I have coded before, just not since high school. Unless we count HTML, which we are not counting.) I don't know what I would be doing with this skill—though brain is telling me that trans-and-nonbinary-friendly period tracker app with on-or-off-hormonal-contraception functionality and a variety of appearance options including death metal (as previously discussed somewhere on these interwebs) would be a good first project—it just seems like a useful skill to have. I don't even know what programming language I'd want to start with. DW uses Perl, I believe, and I believe AO3 uses Ruby, but beyond that I am clueless. What even does one use to program for Android / Kindle Fire? (ETA: apparently Java)
