Hello everyone, I need some motivation and I hope that maybe you guys can help?

I started a course on programming some time ago. Unfortunately this was a mistake. The customer service is awful and the study material is just as bad. I ended not being able finish the course in time. It was a lot of money and it drained me of my motivation.

Any suggestions on how to get back into it?

Greetings Lass86
I think the first question is why do you want to learn programming? Do you want to become a professional developer or is it part of some project that you want to carry out? What is the goal?

I would like to do this as a hobby. I would like to work on different projects, from websites to games, to internet security. I guess I like the idea of building things.

Not very specific. I know.
Here's a great place to get started:
You can run this tutorial without taking the course, or take the course if you like what you see.
If it is a hobby, then start with something that you would really like to do with the computer, like a game that you want to automatize and work hard until it runs the way you want. Do what you like the most, it will give you a lot of motivation.

I would love to create a game. I'm going to dive into how to do that.
Thanks for talking. I just need to be reminded why I started.

I'll take a look. Thank you.
