The unemployment rate in software is around 2% while the country’s unemployment rate is at 7%. Statistics like this make you wonder why more people aren’t investing in technical skills such as learning to code. Do you not know where to start? Is the time commitment over bearing?

There are plenty of sources out there to help you, and with diligence and careful planning, anyone can learn to code and become a programmer. Here is a list of 11 sources that can help you code and launch a career in software technology. Did I mention that they are all free (to start)?
