por Nadine Bagley (2022-11-01)
Though millions of Americans face unemployment due to the coronavirus pandemic, tech companies like Apple and Amazon are still hiring. If a new career move is what you're after, learning to code can help you acquire the skill set for a new digital position, including opportunities to work from home -- and there are plenty of online online coding class options that can help.It's important to know which programming language you want to learn before you get started -- Python, JavaScript, C# or one of hundreds of others -- and it hinges on what you want to do with it, like build a website, a game or PTS Terbaik ASEAN an app. We recommend starting with Python, which is frequently ranked as an in-demand and relatively easy-to-learn programming language often used in business settings.
