Thanks for this thread bro
I finished secodary school 2016 and since i can't afford to further(Dad left us and mum is a petty trader) i began working with a bricklayer as a labourer until recently that i had a fracture on my leg and can no longer continue.
I have passion for programming and internet related stuffs so i am trying to purchase a laptop next month.
Please can anyone help me develop a skill that can sustain me and possibly build a career on it?
Please help a brother.
Sorry bro. This caught my heart, learn game development and/or web development but mainly learn how to program well before learning any of those two, or else you'll become a washed programmer, one not even capable of implementing data structures. Start with C# very nice language for beginners, good for web development too then move to Python if you want. Then learn C++ and C (use C++ to learn how to build data structures) these languages are good for hardware programming and time critical applications and most importantly games. Then if you want to go further and build yourself as a professional programmer you could learn things like: Machine Learning, Artificial intelligence, Computer Graphics, Computer Vision, Cryptography. Then if you want to take a step further learn: Operating Systems (their structures and how to build them), Compiler Construction e.t.c. Learn how to use Github too, learn how to work with a team (finish learning how to program first).
For tutorials, you could go to edx they have free courses there but you would have to audit them and finish them within a short time (advice do it once at a time), you could also go to Coursera to learn too. As for books look for For Dummies books (search for them like this: C++ For Dummies, Python For Dummies, C# For Dummies) their books are amazing (if you love them so much you could buy their books)). There are other good books out there too, but hardly any ever treat the programmer like a true beginner.
Good luck hope I helped.

Well, my advice for you is to start learning on your own for a while, after that you can look for someone with experience to take you through some of the problems you will face. I started programming on my own(self taught), it was difficult at first but with dedication, time and passion, it worked.

I will tell you to learn one language at first, master it very well and do most things with it because if you are learning everything together at the same time, you won't be able to grab it at all.

No age limitation in programming, as it depends on your time, passion, start with Python(recommended) as it is easy to learn and the syntax is like English, good to read.

If you need any assistance, you can send me a message
