Hello, I was wondering if anyone knew of a good program or class that teaches coding? I don't know how to code, but would like to learn so that I may be able to apply for positions that require it.
What kind of code do you want to learn? Are you thinking of doing web design, building programs, or programming games?
If you're not sure or just want to learn a good general coding language, Python is a good place to start. I don't know if you've ever used Lynda but they've got some decent starting courses (it's not free but I get free access through my library, so you could try getting a free local library card and see if you get access cx). I use IDLE for coding Python but that's just a personal choice.
You could also look on YouTube for free videos, they can be surprisingly useful especially for the basics. Then you can always challenge yourself by trying to code things like tic-tac-toe or hangman c:
that's all i can think of atm, but neverstarstar might know more?
life is a lot, and I'm sorry for how much it impacts me here

SoloLearn is good for lots of languages. Here's the link to their available courses: SoloLearn I learned HTML, CSS, C#, and Python in school but used this as a guide.
YouTube, like Cleaver said is helpful and so is simply googling what you're stuck on, you'll find a bunch of answers/walk-throughs that way. Don't be afraid of getting stuck, coding is tricky to learn but rewarding. If you ever need help, don't hesitate to message me, I'll help anyway I can <3
I've found with most languages it's best to practice. For example, to learn Python myself I created a code to give me a random Minecraft task to do if I was bored, and it would continue telling me tasks to complete until I asked it to stop. I learned more teaching myself that then I did reading my textbook in class c:

I am sorry, I was wondering what kind of coding was needed here? As it stands, I cannot apply for a staff positions if I wished too as I don't know how to code. I really wish there was still an active website on wikifoundry, as I could easily manipulate a layout on there. Oh well, I think I will just settle with roleplay positions for now. Thank you both for your time and help. <3
You can totally apply for positions, in fact some leaders don't know how to code. They just know where to copy and paste the biographies in the code and that's as far as they go. It's really not a necessity to know how to code we just always encourage others to learn! Just like how on Wikifoundry not every person knew how to make a layout, but everyone knew how to edit a page, it's the same thing here ^-^

Sorry, I'm a little late coming back to this, but you can definitely apply for positions still as Faith said! But if you do want to learn to code for the site, that's much easier, it's just HTML/CSS, which are fairly straightforward languages c: W3Schools like Never mentioned is a great resource for looking up tags you might need (and fun fact, the site was made by Tim Burners Lee, the man who made HTML and the world wide web, super cool guy). You can also look through the code on some of the pages here and see if you can understand how it's set up, ie the SwiftClan page, which has comments labeling what most of the parts do c:

whispers also code academy is super useful I think w3schools is really good for when you want to figure out specifics and tags but if you've never coded before at all and kind of want to get the hang of how the language works, code academy starts from the very beginning and it's good for actually learning the basics!
Oh well, I think I will just settle with roleplay positions for now. Thank you both for your time and help. <3
