I have a few vague questions about coding, I'm not asking for an in depth lesson just some opinions.
I have so much spare time in work and wanted to dedicate it to learning something. Computers seem like a good thing to learn about because they're more relevant now than ever, I have children and I'd like to teach them something myself, I work on a very basic level with computers.
I'm only just starting to learn about this topic but anyway to cut a short story even shorter the questions are....
1) Is coding, generally, something I can get into without it distracting me from things like strict fitness goals? The other day I sat down to download java and the stress of solving the issues with doing that caused me to stuff my face with chocolate already, and I even even began to learn anything, I'm only just downloading things to begin to help me to learn, which is pretty pathetic. The problem was solved by turning the computer off and on again.
2) If I do carry on learning about this what kind of information would anyone recommend I start to look at? So far, because I have a goal of making a very simple android app I've been looking at step by step guides on how to clone things like snapchat. I know that's probably too advanced for me but like I say they are step by step guides and so I just plan to follow whatever the guy says. From what I understand it really requires a lot of downloading other programs to help, like android studio and so on.
I must stress though I have a lot of spare time in work, I'd love to have something to learn, to focus on when I have nothing but time.
3) The last question and what might require too much of an in depth answer is just that I don't understand how the beginner tutorials of coding even slightly relate to the intermediate tutorials. The beginner lessons are about getting the computer to say "Hello" on a plain screen. It goes from that to designing apps and games. I don't see how to get to one from the other? Maybe it's like Mr Miagi teaching Daniel to paint fences and wash cars in order to be good at karate but I just don't get what I'm doing that's impressive by getting text to appear on a screen that says "Hello world"

Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
