Coding
Posted by Designer-Appeal-6731@reddit | learnprogramming | View on Reddit | 4 comments
Hey everyone, first time posting here so bear with me.
I’ve been looking around at ideas for building an app from scratch and could use some guidance.
Basically I want it to be interactive where you get multiple choice questions but also can type in a written answers too, to prepare for written and speaking exam.
Thing is I don’t know anything about coding or really where to even begin. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Would really appreciate it!
Thank you

That's a relatively simple idea. On the sidebar there's a link that says "new? Start here" which has good resources to get going.
For this kind of project I think going with a web design approach(HTML/CSS/Javascript) is going to be easiest.

really like the mindset here, wanting to build something before knowing everything is honestly the best way to learn
don’t worry about not knowing coding yet, you don’t need to master it before starting, just break your idea into simple parts, showing questions, selecting answers, typing responses, and saving them, that’s already a full app in small steps
you can start with basic javascript or even jump straight into building and learn along the way, that’s what most people do now, I usually generate a working version in Runable first so I can see how everything fits, then tweak and understand it piece by piece instead of starting from zero
keep it small, get something working, and improve it step by step, you’ll learn way faster that way

In line with the other comment, consider learning HTML, CSS, then JavaScript. Tons of free resources out there, but if you're really looking to learn I would consider buying a cheap course on Udemy and save the time.
If you are talking about building an app, then eventually you might look into frameworks like React Native, but that's a ways down the line. Focus on the basics, if you end up falling in love with programming then you will naturally make your way to your goals!

What you want to do, its not that easy to code. I would say just use AI to create your app but that's not the way to go if you are interested in learning a bit of coding + I dont support it.
What you could use is look on YouTube for a tutorial of the app and code along or copy paste the code
Unless you want to learn HTML, CSS, Javascript.. you can find free resources
