    Becoming a coder at the age of 14 is a great goal!

    Here's a roadmap to get started:

    1. **Learn the Basics**:

    - Start with the fundamentals of programming languages like Python or JavaScript. There are many
    online tutorials and courses available for free.

    2. **Online Courses and Tutorials**:

    - Take online coding courses and tutorials from platforms like Codecademy, Khan Academy, Coursera,
    or edX.

    3. **Practice Regularly**:

    - Practice coding regularly to reinforce your skills. Try solving coding challenges on websites like
    LeetCode, HackerRank, or Codeforces.

    4. **Personal Projects**:

    - Create your own projects. It could be a simple website, a game, or a mobile app. Personal projects
    help you apply what you've learned.

    5. **Join Coding Communities**:

    - Participate in coding communities and forums like GitHub, Stack Overflow, or Reddit. You can learn
    from experienced coders and get help when you're stuck.

    6. **Learn Data Structures and Algorithms**:

    - As you progress, focus on data structures and algorithms. They are essential for problem-solving and
    interviews.

    7. **Read Coding Books**:

    - Invest in coding books that cover topics you're interested in. They can provide in-depth knowledge.
    8. **Attend Coding Camps or Workshops**:

    - If possible, attend coding camps or workshops in your area or online. These can provide structured
    learning experiences.

    9. **Build a Portfolio**:

    - Create a portfolio showcasing your projects and skills. This can be helpful when applying for
    internships or jobs in the future.

    10. **Stay Updated**:

    - Stay up-to-date with the latest trends and technologies in the coding world. Technology evolves
    quickly, so continuous learning is crucial.

    11. **Collaborate and Network**:

    - Collaborate on coding projects with friends or join coding clubs at school. Networking can lead to
    valuable opportunities.

    12. **Consider Formal Education**:

    - Think about pursuing formal computer science education when you're older, but continue learning in
    the meantime.

    Remember that learning to code is a journey that takes time and patience. Don't be discouraged by
    challenges; they are part of the learning process. Keep coding, exploring, and building, and you'll make
    progress.
