Brand new to coding, always found it very fascinating in TV shows or movies about coding when they speak but never looked into it. Now that I'm a bit older, I want to dive into it as a hobby. This would only be for recreational right now, maybe spend an hour or so at night for fun on learning over time.
Few questions to start..
What would the most beginner friend language be to start learning? I've been reading and it's between Python and Java apparently if you have zero coding experience, which is me.
Is there any courses I can take (paid or free) that can get me off the ground and into this?
Not really sure what my end goal with this is, but I think just to learn and get into it basically to start.
I would say Python over Java, as py is easier to learn. When you starting to understand how to think as a programmer you could try other, but at the start, focus on one.
For areas to learn i'll leave you with a few places.
University of Helsinki got some good courses, found here:

Or a collection of it here:

Harvard got the cs50 course:

Automate the boring stuff (free ebook):

But lets not forget the best place to check up on, the py docs.
https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/index.html
honourable mention for me would be FCC, for me its been helpful (they have alot of free material, not only py, but other lang too)
