There are endless areas coding is used, but let's explore some of them below:
Software development:
Although most people think Software development is all about coding, there's more to that, but coding plays a vital role. You can develop apps and Software for people to use.
Cybersecurity:
Most people will say real Cybersecurity experts must know how to code, although it's not required, it's useful when you're able to write scripts you can't find anywhere and you don't have to rely on other people.
Internet of Things(IoT):
Although there are open source codes for different projects you wanna build, you might just not get what you're looking for, so languages like Python and C++ are very common in Embedded systems like Raspberry Pi and Arduino
How do I start?
There are a lot of websites and apps that can teach you how to code for free, some you can start with are:
and YouTube
