Teach yourself to code

Interested in teaching yourself to code? There are plenty of online resources worth looking at.

Update August 2023

Here's a lovely link from Emma @ Study Map who has used this WITS page to learn to code. It is A Beginner’s Glossary of Coding and Programming Terms and it's a practical support if you want to learn to code. Thank you Emma and Laura of Study Map for sharing this link. We hope you find it useful.

Here’s some advice from one of our members:
