The prompt · ChatGPT

Help me learn to code from zero.

Goal: [websites / data / apps / curiosity]
Minutes a day: [number]
Prior experience: [none / some HTML / other]
Device: [computer type]

Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers.

Then:
1. A beginner path for my goal.
2. One tiny first project.
3. Daily practice structure.
4. How to know I've levelled up.

Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts, steps or official URLs you're not sure of. UK English.

Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.

Fill the blanks, then paste. websites / data / apps / curiosity: a short note you already have. number: a short note you already have. Leave the rest of the prompt as written.
