Hence, having any knowledge of it(Coding literacy) will give you a foot up on the competition.

This sense of empowerment can lead to a passion for coding, a field that is continuously evolving and presenting new challenges. The more you learn, the more you'll want to know more. This knowledge will enable you to solve more complex problems in a shorter period.

Fosters Creativity:

Coding is also a form of art, especially when you actually bring your own creative ideas to life. Learning to code gives you the tools to invent that cool website, app, animation, or even video game that you have always dreamed of 🎉🚀

Overcoming the Fear of Coding:

Like most of us, you have probably heard that coding is difficult. But I have got good news for you, which is that "anybody can learn how to code". Regardless of your age, academic background, or even how fast or low your learning ability is at the moment. You can still learn it. it doesn't take several years to learn and it doesn't cost much either. The fun fact is that you can actually learn to code for free.. from the comfort of your home online.

How to Get Started with Coding:
