Sup /g/,
Business major here but want to learn coding. How do I code something like Facebook?
You hire a programmer
Convince them to work for a share of the company
Insist to investors that your business model is viable (it's not, but insist anyway)
Get a small fortune to make it work
Blow through 20% of it almost immediately.
Spend the other 80% as little as possible, run out in a year anyway.
Call it quits. Maybe kill yourself.
Epilogue: The programmer gets a good job afterward.

You hire a programmer
He's autistic, but tries to steal your idea and run with it
He can't communicate the idea behind the website *HE* just coded for you before stealing
You keep going on your merry way, but still your idea dies.

I'll bite and hope this is a serious request. Here we go:
First
http://www.codecademy.com/
Very friendly for beginners. Check out either Python, Ruby, or Html. After some time
Buy a book http://www.amazon.com/Beginning-Ruby-Novice-Professional-Experts/dp/1430223634/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1409711434&sr=8-1&keywords=Beginning+ruby
I put this one cause I used it. Has some decent stuff on RoR too.
During and after all this, make some simple, verrrrry simple, apps to get yourself using the code you learn. That's it OP, it sounds simple but it takes a lot of work but if you're motivated it'll also be a ton of fun. I'm going to App Academy in November so if you sign up for that let me know.

*tips fedora*
Why do we have this influx of threads asking about 'coding' specifically? Usually we have people asking what programming language to start with.
I know it's 'murrika hours but this is concerning.

Freshman are going to university for the first time right now, this happens everytime in September on /g/

Americans go to university in September?
Fuck you people are weird

Yes but IIRC it wasn't 'coding' last year. I really didn't think the terminology destruction would be this quick.
