Ok brehs, im thinking bout changing my career path up. Im pretty good with technology/smart etc.
Read about the first 15 pages and need some fresh thoughts.
Where do I need to start to get into it. The first couple pages mentioned java & web design. Is that still on point. I would prefer something without being a math wiz.
Cert vs Degree. Mainly looking for online courses. Alot of recent set backs keeping me from #blackexcellence
Would prob say programming is what im interested in.

I see its alot of good books posted so far. Where should I start
In regards to programming, the breakdown is for the web, you will definitely need to learn HTML/CSS, which technically aren't programming languages, but they are necessary. After you learn those two, then pick up Javascript, which will be needed for 'client-side' programming. Client-side programming is pretty much programming for the browser.
When you get more advanced, or you really start to get an idea of what you are wanting to do, you can pick up something like C# or Java for the ability to make desktop applications and server-side code. Server-side code is where you start interacting with databases and the such.
Pretty much everything is becoming interconnected now and have some elements of dealing with the web in some form or fashion, so you at least want to know HTML and CSS and dabble with Javascript.
If you want a general purpose language that is highly employable, Java is definitely a huge option. C# is nice as well, but Java typically has more jobs.
One thing you will need to find out is your preferred way of learning. Some people prefer videos. I much prefer to read books. If you're getting started with html, go to codecademy.com and work through their HTML/CSS track and then try out the Javascript one. After that, I can recommend books.
