While I’m a big fan of choose a language (I recommend Python), follow some tutorials and just get started, I think that the article may also want to mention “universities” as a possible alternate path to becoming a coder or at least to take it to the next level.

If you are an adult and know nothing about coding, however, do not despair – there are many ways for you to learn.

I'm amazed the article doesn't mention Khan Academy or codeacedemy - two free places to learn the basics. Bit of a kak omission.

Edit: my bad - I see codeacademy is mentioned. Khan is also worth adding to the list.
