Any advice for a beginner on where/how to learn to code? Language suggestions?

What do you want to do?

 

[Milo]

Honestly I just want to try it out and see if it's something I enjoy/would be good at. Eventually if it turns out that I do, I'd want to learn something practical that might be desirable in the future job market.

There is the catch, depends what you want to work on.

Build apps. Java unless only IOS then objective C.
Web programs PHP
PC programs C/C++

Apps or web programs seem like the best places to start. Would Java work on iOS as well? Why learn Objective C instead of just learning Swift?

Check out codecademy.com and khanacademy.org - GREAT tutorials in a range of programming languages and output contexts.

Java can be used but it's better on Andriod. Objective C is established, swift is new.

I'm definitely a logic/math guy. Are there any tutorials/resources to get started on that back end coding?

We'll aware of that, I was giving him what IMO what I would recommend based on the biggest upside.

Microsoft's Visual Studio's asp.net(webbase) or MVC(also webbase) is one of the top of the line coding software atm.

u can download trial version that is free to try, even try your hand on sqlserver database if u dare:
Visual Studio - Microsoft Developer Tools

these are from documents(library) from Microsoft as well:

Visual Studio Library

C# Programming Guide

but understand object oriented programming(oop) first if Mr. Green is u:

Object-Oriented Programming (C# and Visual Basic)


some site/forum that can help u understand:

ASP.NET | The ASP.NET Site
https://forums.asp.net/
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/home?category=visualstudio%2Cvslanguages%2Cvstfs%2Cnetdevelopment%2Cvsarch


but if u just want to have fun with the basic and not worry too much about hardcore coding try html, css, etc:

https://www.w3schools.com/
