First, I'd recommend being suspicious of survivorship bias and following in anyone's footsteps (including any mentioned here). Relevant xkcd: https://xkcd.com/1827/ https://xkcd.com/1827/ After that, I'd recommend the Coursera course Learning How to Learn as pre-work. 3 free resources I highly recommend: - Harvard's CS50. Cannot recommend this highly enough. - MIT's Intro to Programming w/ EdX. Great way to learn more about problem solving - FreeCodeCamp: Great directed resource for a path to learn front end development. There's so much information out there that it's helpful to have some guidance.
