Coding For Dummies Cheat Sheet

Coding is equal parts vocabulary, logic, and syntax. Coding may at first seem intimidating, but with practice, though, it’s easy to get comfortable with its terminology, concepts, and structure. Understanding coding is not unlike learning a new language: Use it often enough and you’ll find yourself able to speak, think, and write in code. Still, it’s natural for beginners to have questions. There are many coding resources available to you, both on- and off-line. Ask around and you’ll find you’re not alone — many other people are learning. After all, coding is a never-ending education. Master one facet or another and a new one opens in front of you.
