I would like to learn coding myself, but the few computer classes I’ve taken become very boring very quickly. I’ll keep looking for the right class and the right instructor.

The best way to learn programming is on your own.

Start with Intel assembly language and C.

If you don't know assembly, you don't know what your higher level languages (all others) are actually doing.

Classes are not a good way to learn programming, unless you're a person who really has difficulty learning without a class.

Bingo!!! From the article, “in the U.S., computer science is a rare bright spot of opportunity for people without a college education.”

And why is it that classes are not a good way to learn programming? I would suggest that it is at least partially because affirmative action and government unions have hobbled the ability of our educational institutions to teach challenging subjects. With a little help from Hollywood... they do just fine at indoctrinating our children with leftist ideals and revisionist history. But in general most schools now fall flat on their face when trying to teach useful skills and critical thinking.
