Programming is really easy. If you can read English documentation and have an IQ over 80 you can be a programmer.
But do not learn from “coding camps” or online services such are
code.org or even YouTube; the best way to learn is by purchasing a book. For you first book don’t buy it off amazon because it’s difficult to see what’s inside, but walk in to big book store like Chapters/Indigo and buy a programming book. Start off with Python, because it’s basically sudo code;once your done with python move to c/c++ and never go back.
Also make sure to read every piece of text in the book, even if your think you understand It, never skip anything in a tutorial book; don’t skip the first chapter and read the graphics and annotations if you book has any,
I started with python at age 12. It took me 6 months to call myself a good at it—but I was 12 your 18.
