Need a help

Hey community.
Since most of you guys here are into tech and stuff. I need to ask for a favour. Im a 9500 days old kid, currently working as transaction analyst at a crypto exchange, which consists providing white glove services to HNWI and institutional clients and help them in doing their funds transfer and stuff. I want to learn programming/coding. I have no prior experience of working in IT. And want to start w some beginner level certification which can help me in learning how and what’s of programming plus something which could also help me get into entry level programming jobs. I am not a college graduate and always wanted to go to college but due to some financial crisis, couldn’t do that. Now i am 25 and earning, and want to invest in myself. If you guys could lead me to something which had helped u in your tech career or something which can help me, it would be of great help. Idk why i am posting this here, maybe because i believe people here are more real than any other social media (bots, fake profiles) plus you guys read and share so beautiful stuff. Please help your brother/friend out. Thanks very much in advance. 🙏🏻

Python could a good choice as you re a transaction analyst at a crypto exchange.
To learn Python, you can start by downloading and installing the latest version of Python from the official website (https://www.python.org/downloads/).
Once you have it installed, you can start by reading tutorials and guides online, such as those available on the official Python website (https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/index.html), or on sites such as Codecademy (https://www.codecademy.com/learn/learn-python) and Coursera (https://www.coursera.org/courses?query=python). Practicing by writing code and working on small projects is also a great way to learn Python.
Additionally, you can also join the Python community and ask questions on forums like Stack Overflow (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/python).

Yea find some online classes or youtube videos to go thru. Setup a github account and start programming a portfolio upload. This you can show to potential employers.
Also I would learn docker and running and setting up images to be able to spin up a wide variety of servers and toolsets. This will be a good skill going forward also.

Start going to programming meetups, if you can. Or tech that you're interested in, talk to people in real life. Many people finish coding bootcamps, then they are looking for work.. if you can do both learn to code etc while meeting people and being curious as to what they're up to, can open doors at some point in the near future..

Ruby is my first programming language (that I stuck to and learned all the way through). This is because it was the easiest language to pick up. I learned Ruby through O'Reilly books, but I'm sure you could find YouTube tutorials as well:

Python on the other hand, is widely used, but I hate how people's code is broken if you don't use the exact version of Python they used to program it. It does force you to learn proper coding practices though like keeping your spacing aligned in such a way where the code is easy to read (although languages that don't force you to do this allow you to use tab or double space whereas Python forces you to use double space) Python also interpretes to bytecode whereas Ruby interprets to C (Well cruby interprets to c, but we also have jruby and so on and so forth) which means you can use Sorbet and LLVM to bring your Ruby code to native C and compile it all. Ruby has threads and ruby on rails and metasploit is written in ruby (and python). The glimmer gem means you can write GUIs in Ruby.
Okay okay enough shilling my first language, whatever language you choose to learn, get on repl.it and https://www.codewars.com/ in order to challenge yourself and sharpen your programming skills.

Mostly programs with AI integration but yes python 2 and python 3 differences is annoying. Lots of programs I have to do a conda init pythonx.xx

положите сюда торрент с полным каталогом видео на его языке. он обязательно это увидит! Просто в день тартить по 1-2 час. так это работает!
найдешь мелко оплачеваемую работу и увидишь свой навык.

Before getting into coding, it might be worth considering a Computer Science 101 course like this one?

along those lines, have a look at the offerings of saylor academy https://learn.saylor.org/
besides a whole computer science section, they even have ECON103: Principles of Austrian Economics as taught by saifedean
