Why are you learning to code? To find a job as a programmer? Because you think it will help you at your current job? Because you are looking for a new challenge? Do you have something in mind that requires coding? If you don't know anything about programming, I would recommend you "learn python the hard way" ( http://learnpythonthehardway.org/ http://learnpythonthehardway.org/ ) to get yourself familiar with Python, a programming language popular and easy to learn, and then start whatever you are interested in. One more thing, why are you mentioning that you're a woman? I believe tech is a field where it shouldn't matter (I would matter more that you are a woman if you were asking, say, how to use a body building machine).

S4M - Learning how to code because I'm a non-technical cofounder and would like to become fluent. This won't be my first company/product so I know it will serve as an asset for the future. Thanks for the python site recommendation! Could I trouble you to explain to me a little more about Python? Is it a starter platform? Also, I mentioned I was a woman because I always read about agencies which help women learn how to code and provide various resources for women- I'm just not entirely sure what they do.

  > Could I trouble you to explain to me a little more about Python? Is it a starter platform? Python is a programming language, that is used to do lots of things - it is used in production at Google, and you can do pretty much anything with it, from data analysis/machine learning to web development, from game development to shell scripting. It is also quite easy to pick up, so it's a good choice for beginners - although lots of experienced programmers use Python. That's why I recommended you python. Since you want to help for your startup, I'd recommend to try to pick up whatever they are already using, since there are probably programmers with some experience working with you. EDIT: by the way, my email is in my profile, so feel free to contact me if you need something, and I'll see what I can do.
