💥 Shattering the Myth: “Not Everyone Can Code”
Zero to Code by Amaan Ilyas Shaikh aims to break one of the most common myths in tech — that you need to be a math genius or a computer expert to learn programming. Whether you’re a student, a working professional, or someone exploring a career shift, coding is a skill that anyone can master with the right mindset and proper guidance.
👨🏫 I’m Amaan Ilyas Shaikh, Co-Founder of Infodesk Computer Education in Goregaon West. I’ve gotten to teach people from all sorts of backgrounds — and I’ve witnessed one reality time and time again:
💬 “Anyone can learn to code — it’s all about how you begin your journey.“
That’s why I built CodeWithAmaan — a learning environment meant for beginners to begin smart, become strong, and develop genuine coding confidence.
🧠 Step 1: Create the Correct Mindset
You must believe in yourself before you write your first line of code.
Most beginners get discouraged with ideas like:
❌ “I don’t have a technical background.”
❌ “I may be too old to learn.”
❌ “I’m not logical.”
But the reality — coding involves problem-solving with a systematic step-by-step process. We at Infodesk Computer Education, Goregaon West, educate students that learning code isn’t about perfection — it’s about patience, curiosity, and willingness to learn from your errors.
✨ What you actually need is a curious mind, consistent practice, and proper guidance.
🖥️ Step 2: Choose Your Starter Tech Stack
Start small by choosing beginner-friendly and essential languages such as:
🔹 HTML & CSS – to learn how websites are laid out and styled
🔹 JavaScript – to add interactivity to your web pages
🔹 Python – for simple-to-learn logic and automation
🔹 SQL – to handle and make sense of data
These technologies are not just easy for beginners to use but also extensively applied in the tech sector. We at Infodesk Computer Education familiarize students with such technologies through real-world applications, which makes learning easy and relevant.
🛠️ Step 3: Learn by Practicing — Not Just Watching
🎥 Watching is good, but learning occurs when you code with your own hands.
That’s why on CodeWithAmaan, we get learners making small projects right from day one — such as:
✅ Basic calculators
✅ To-do list applications
✅ Login systems
✅ Responsive websites
This hands-on learning not only accumulates skill but also increases confidence. At Infodesk Computer Education, each module covers hands-on sessions, project development, and live practice — all under the guidance of experts.
📁 Step 4: Start Your Portfolio Early
Each line of code you write can be part of your portfolio. Even small projects indicate progress and potential.
Begin by:
🔗 Posting projects on GitHub
📝 Creating brief notes or blog posts on what you’ve created
📄 Including project links on your resume
By the time you finish your course at Infodesk Computer Education, you’ll have a portfolio that represents your actual abilities — and that’s what we encourage through CodeWithAmaan as well.
👥 Step 5: Learn Within a Community
Learning is always more enjoyable (and productive) with support. That’s why we’ve established communities both offline and online — through:
🤝 Doubt-solving sessions
🧑💻 CodeTalks blog series
👨🎓 Peer learning and group coding activities
Whether you learn in my institute at Infodesk Computer Education in Goregaon West or through our content on CodeWithAmaan, you’ll always have someone to mentor, encourage, and celebrate with.
