I have wanted to learn to code for a long time now, but i have never had the time. But now is the time when summer holidays start and i really have time for it since i didn't get my summer job.

I have couple of questions?

1. What is a good forum where i can ask these things not sure that this is the best forum for this coding thing?

2. What is the easiest or best language to start to code games and programs?

3. How do you actually learn to code? watch videos or read blogs or what?

4. What is the best program to use on win10
I am really new to this thing and i have no idea how to start to learn.

1. https://www.w3schools.com/
HTML, SQL, CSS, Java, JavaScript (not the same thing), etc, etc

2. Depends on what you want to do.

3. See #1
Mostly, it is a lot of reading. Taking apart existing code and seeing how it actually works and what it does.

4. Visual Studio Community

1. What are some good forums to find information

2. What is the best language for mobile games (remember that i have never coded before)
3. How to get started on the learning experience?

The actual 'code' is only one part of it.
You also need an idea and a design. That happens long before any code appears.

To add to this, the actual act of writing the code is only 10% of the entire process. The other 90% is where the real work happens.

The entire project must be mapped out in EXTREME detail. All game logic must be fully vetted and tested. All possible error conditions must be accounted for. All game graphics must be defined, etc. Then, and only then is an appropriate language chosen and all variables, constants, objects, functions, subroutines, etc. must be named and parameterized. This is only a short list of what goes on before a single line of code is written.
