You can learn all you want from Youtube videos if all you want is basics. If you want more than Chrome has apps that teach code writing and programming languages. You can learn all you want without paying for classes if all you want is to learn how they work and to use them better, maybe how to remove your own viruses and stuff like that. Its all at your fingertips on the internet. I got my first computer in high school An old Texas instruments that hooked up to a TV, that got me started and from there it took off.
Yeah, I'd start with the basics and learning how to remove viruses, etc. Then maybe stuff that's a little more advanced if I find myself hooked.
Thanks for the tips.
