- DanBC 11y agoWhat were your plans? What would you have done when you got to the US? There are many programming tutorials on the Internet. As well as working through one of them you could help translate it from English into {Malay? Mandarin? Tamil?}. You are, I assume, bi-lingual. That's an advantage for companies who want to sell to countries who speak a language that you speak. Lots of open source software and documentation want help with translation. You could build a strong portfolio and reputation by helping those projects.
- coldtea 11y agoStart with web programming I'd say, don't go directly to mobile apps. People in the 80s and 90s (in the USA) learned coding from a couple or so books they bought and playing with their home computer. You now have thousands of videos, articles and books online for free, and the whole documentation for languages etc. Start with small webpages, add JavaScript functionality, learn jQuery, move to learn Ember, React or Angular, and that can be enough to get you a job.
