"Hey guys, just wanted to start a thread for anyone new to coding and computer science. I've seen a lot of interest in learning how to code, but it can be super overwhelming if you're just starting out. I'll try to provide a basic rundown of the things I wish I knew when I started out, so feel free to add your own insights and questions!"
