School is not an option (25 years is enough school for me).
Best resources for self teaching programming and free software or websites to practice? Specifically, I am looking into app development or website development. I took one programming class in college so I have a basic grasp of C++ but that's it. Other tips would be appreciated. --- Congratulations! Your post was deemed response-worthy. ...

Khan Academy has a good Java course. Codeacademy might have C++ or C#

Code academy is pretty good, in my experience.
After getting a handle on the basic syntax, I'd decide on some small project to accomplish. My first time using Matlab, I decided to create a simple saliency map function that takes in an input image and outputs a saliency map based on the principles of lateral inhibition. Was a bitch and a really shitty algorithm, but it was fun and really got me to explore the language. Pretty much, I think the biggest reason people stop halfway through these online tutorial things is that there ends up being a lack of motivation. There are only so many arbitrary lists you can loop through without wanting to shoot yourself in the head. So coming up with a project that you're interested in with a clear goal in mind helps keel you going. --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] ... Copied to Clipboard!

I would suggest starting with Python. It's fairly intuitive compared to other languages and you can do a lot with it. Then once you get the basic gist of data structures and algorithms from that, transitioning to other languages like C/C++ is a lot easier
https://www.codecademy.com/en/tracks/python Or if you want to go straight to C++ I would advise this book to go along with whatever intro to C++ book you get https://www.amazon.com/Data-Structures-Algorithms-Made-Easy/dp/819324527X --- XBL/Steam/R*/Uplay: Barinade88 | Origin: Barinade | BattleNet: Barinade#11210 Roll Tide & Go Irish ...

Damn I just saw the app development part
The easiest way to get into that is through Android, which is pretty much Java. But learning Java from scratch is a pain so C# is another option --- XBL/Steam/R*/Uplay: Barinade88 | Origin: Barinade | BattleNet: Barinade#11210 Roll Tide & Go Irish ... Copied to Clipboard!

At home with the internet. Recommend ASP.NET MVC as a good platform to learn how to put websites together, since its a simple and easy-to-follow organizational structure. And use C#, homie. And dont go down the rabbit hole of best coding practices because youll get caught up on dependency injection and never come out
