Looks like theres a demand for people that can code, what language should I start out with/focus on and where should I learn from? Dabbled with code school, with basic knowledge of ruby.

On here, a knowledge of HTML, CSS, PHP or Python/Ruby should be fairly good. Apart from altcoins, websites are likely to be the most sought after.

Since websites are the thing I see most likely, should I start with HTML than move to CSS? Could you offer more insight on that? |

HTML and CSS pretty much go hand in hand, and you should try to learn both at once. It may sound daunting, but basic CSS is easy as hell. |

This, If you really feel that too overwhelming, start with HTML and get a good foundation going, then switch to CSS. CSS uses basic HTML and once you figure out that you can go on to more advanced things. |

Try this: http://www.it-ebooks.infoYou can search for tons of books some of them may be a little outdated so always make sure but this is basically a free library you can use. |

What type of coding depends on what you want to do.
I can tell you for certain that all the big companies have a high demand for python right now.

It's usually not a flat rate or anything but you have to be competitive with your prices... For starters you should do what I do and offer free coding/tips accepted. FYI, If you aren't artistic don't get into front end web design too much. Go for backend, it's more fun. |
