I have been a mechanic my entire life and the above method appeals to me most.
Codecademy.com
For $240 per year (Pro level) you can learn anything having to do with Programming or Coding.
Full-Stack Engineer, Front-End Engineer, Back-End Engineer, Computer Science, IOS Developer, and Data Scientist are the main career paths.

Dave, I’m making progress on the book. One thing that has become clear is that everyone has his her own process. There are general processes. But they are individualized as well. It’s slow going. I will have written thousands of pages to get a book of 100 pages. The good news is that the process of life is much more important than what we produce. If no personal goal were ever achieved, Philippians 1:6 would still hold true; that He who has begun a good work in you will perform it. We should not be discouraged when our idea of success alludes us. You are a brilliant man. And God is working in you and through you, so that you will know Him.
