Sit down and think of what you want to code
Break it down into concrete steps and get started (abuse the shit out of Google)
Learn by doing

The free online resources are better than going to college for it.

Most of my professors have no idea what they are doing and just send us to do the coding on these sites.

It’s incredibly frustrating. Try some free courses, maybe a udemy course for a few bucks that will have the teacher available for questions. Mostly just sit down and do it, as another anon said pick a project and abuse google.

pick a language

go to:

start solving all the problems in sequential order.

once you have done 300 or 400 problems on this site you will be a beast

for coding something useful it's hard since you need to be autistic if you're doing it on your own (basically code all day for a long time), but if you just want to get a job it looks like it's pretty easy. I learned a bunch of shit related with web dev, game dev, mobile apps, etc. in less than a year before getting bored. I'm not an expert but I feel I would be apt for an entry level job and easily get it by building 3 or 4 projects

This is not true at all. I would say the majority of programmers and software engineers out there were mostly self-taught the same disciplines that they use today.

There are great free online courses from iTunes U, OP. For example CS106A from Stanford is a nice entry level java class. I don’t recommend Java as a first language though. You should either start with Python and then branch out to other languages or go balls deep in the OG, C. Learn Python the hard way is a great book to get into. Don’t forget, if you don’t know basic Linux command line, research how to navigate a file system using it. Start there

tfw learned how to code in high school just by messing around on sourceforge

This current generation is spoiled. Back in my day we didnt have github or stackoverflow.
Just decide what you want to make and then make it.
