From Zero to Coder: A Student's Programming Roadmap

This guide democratizes programming education by providing students with a judgment-free, structured learning path that begins with visual programming and progresses logically. By normalizing debugging as a learning tool and emphasizing free resources, it dismantles the barriers—both financial and psychological—that traditionally prevent students from beginning their coding journey. The emphasis on consistency over intensity establishes sustainable learning practices that combat the high burnout rate among novice programmers.
