Programming
For the past 10 years, I have augmented website code with custom programming as needed. I am proficient in writing PHP, Python, JavaScript and MySQL code to improve or replace existing solutions. Since each project is different and created from scratch, the cost depends on the complexity and time needed to write the code.
Learn programming
As a former music teacher, my passion is helping others to learn programming. YouTube has many beginner tutorials that teach:
Unfortunately, most of the creators of those videos fail to understand how beginners process information. Yes, they explain the syntax correctly but without practical examples, the methods learned won’t be easy to apply.
Once one knows the basics, the videos can help to deepen the understanding but my recommendation is a good book.
Amazon has many books and if you pay attention to the ratings, you can find all kinds of beginner books that teach the concept of programming. If you are completely new to programming and know HTML and CSS then I recommend to start with PHP, Python or JavaScript.
