Any apps or courses for mobile?

Hi everyone,

I have been lurking in this sub for a while and finally decided I want to actually dive in and learn how to code. The problem is, every time I try to figure out where to start, I get hit with a million ads for expensive bootcamps, conflicting advice on which language to pick, and fifty different apps that all claim to make you a pro in a week. Honestly, it is pretty overwhelming.

For those of you who were once in my shoes, or for anyone who helps mentor beginners, what are actually the best apps and online courses right now?

I am looking for something that does not just rely on endless matching games or flashcards, but actually teaches you how to think like a programmer and build real things.

I am leaning a bit toward web development (starting with the usual HTML, CSS, and JavaScript) because I really like the idea of seeing visual results quickly, but I am open to whatever gives you the most solid foundation.

Free resources are awesome, but I am also willing to pay for a genuinely good, well-structured course if it is actually worth the money.

Would love to hear what worked for you, and just as importantly, what I should probably avoid wasting my time on.

Appreciate any advice you can share!
