I want to be a software developer... How do i start?

Let what you actually want to achieve guide you..

Not in order

1. Ask yourself! What do I want achieve?
Do I want to make money? Create value? Both?
Do I want to do Android, Desktop, Web, iOS etc softwares?

2. Know yourself! Are you more wired for procedural thought (thinking about how things work and how they can be manipulated to work for you) or memory storage.

3. Get knowledge about the industry, books, blogs, tutorial videos. Get advice, get techniques.

4. Always remember, when you eventually become a software developer, that KNOWING HOW TO FORMULATE ALGORITHMS is more important than KNOWING HOW TO WRITE CODE IN MANY LANGUAGES.

5. Javascript is a good place to start, if you can't find QBASIC. Remember to place emphasis on DATA STRUCTURES AND ALGORITHMS while learning any language. Once you're good with that, you'll fit in well with other languages

OK.. I want to start with android

I can send you materials which you can use to teach yourself.

The materials are worth thousands of dollars but I'm reselling at a low price.

As a software developer, can i actually learn all, like android, desktop, web and ios. Or a software developer has to compulsorily focus on just one

To start your journey as a software developer:

Learn Programming Basics: Start with a beginner-friendly language like Python or JavaScript.
Study Computer Science Fundamentals: Understand data structures, algorithms, and databases.
Practice Coding: Use platforms like LeetCode, HackerRank, or Codecademy to solve problems.
Build Projects: Create small projects to apply what you've learned and build a portfolio.
Learn Version Control: Familiarize yourself with Git and GitHub.
Join a Community: Engage with developer communities on forums like Stack Overflow or Reddit.
Keep Learning: Stay updated with new technologies and keep practicing regularly.
Apply for Internships: Gain real-world experience through internships or entry-level jobs.

Start with html and css. Don't start with a programming language. Thank me later.

Infact, the OP should start with a programming language. Preferably js, too many front-end dev out there.
