Hey know hows, I would like to start learning code

Hey know hows, I would like to start learning code. Is there a way to write code on an iPad? I don’t have a Mac, I do have an old windows PC. What applications should I use? Where should I start?

I wanted to do what I thought would be a simple card game. I have done some webpage tutorials and some tutorials through apps but it all seems to fall short. I think I may have to invest in a book. My family uses mostly apple mobile products. Most of what I have tried to research says you can’t really do code on an iPad

Learning to write program code doesn't require a computer. Writing code can be done with paper and pencil. Back when there was even special pre-printed paper fornatted to make that easier, then the code was "transcribed" onto stacks of keypunch cards and fed into a computer by a card reader.

 

Skipping over all that, you might want to try this, it's free and runs on iPad:

apple.com - Swift Playgrounds

You can also try safari for windows apple did make an Windows version of their web bowser for this.

If you want to learn C# code, you should learn from the best teacher ... Bob Tabor

Bob also has a Javascript Fundamentals course here:

and also a HTML/CSS course if that's what you want.

 

You can write code in any text editor (like Notepad), but there is also software that will watch what you type and alert you in real time if you make a mistake.

 

Visual Studio 2017 Community is free from Microsoft, if your old computer can run it (try it). There is also something called Visual Studio 2017 Code, if you don't need all the frills to start out with.

Harry Henze Your wellcome; I know about the Windows version of safari since I have Windows 10 installed under boot camp on my MAC and but both OSX and Windows 10 have Google Chrome set-up as the default web bowser.

If all else fails, install the Microsoft RDP client on your iPad and connect to that old Windows PC. It's not ideal, but once you get used to it the setup isn't too bad.
