4. start a side business
5. profit
6. cash out.

You don't make money by learning stuff, you make money by trading time and effort for money.
So I suggest that's what you do, get a job (or start your own, but I'd recommend getting some experience first).
Now I was lucky in that I knew someone who wanted to hire me as a trainee with no former education.
If you're not so lucky you're going to have to work a little harder up front so you can show a potential employer what you can do.
The problem is no one wants to hire you if you don't have at least x years of experience or a formal degree, but you're probably already better than a lot of people who already have programming jobs.
You could learn for years and years and there'll always be something you don't know and you'll never have anything to show to potential employers.
So try to get a job, it's the fastest way to learn (and you'll learn things well beyond programming, like politics and how sh*tty people can be) and the only way to make money from it.
One piece of advice though, do something that you love doing, not because it pays well (but try to combine them).

Well, I've been relatively successful in programming competitions such as the Croatian Open Competition in Informatics (COCI). Isn't that something worth showing to the potential employers, along with that web-app? Or do you think that what I know right now is basically useless?

I can't really tell how much value your current knowledge is.
I'm just telling you that if you want to make money while coding you should find a job where you can put your knowledge to use 
Whether your can sell yourself for minimum wage or €5000,- a month is up to you (and a whole different skill).
Just saying that without a formal education (or something else that really stands out) it might be hard to sell yourself at all.

Get a job in a field/domain you like.
Start at the bottom, learn stuff, get some experience.
I'd rather be phishing!

Welcome to CodeProject! It's refreshing to see a teenager with some web skills!
I checked your web-app, but didn't do anything with it, as I have no need for i486 assembly. If you intend to showcase this, you might want to put a little more verbiage there to explain what it does, and how to use it. (a little color wouldn't hurt either)
As for how to make some money, you should try for an internship, just be prepared to work for peanuts until you can prove you're worth more. As for skills, others here have given you plenty of ideas. Good luck!

For me assembly, a high-level language (Delphi, in my case, but I speak C# and C++ too) and studying helped. The latter part, styding (this is getting a university degree) helped not for what I studied (physics, really not the same as informatics), but the mere fact that I have a university degree helped big times.

Simply: You should just do what you find the most fun!
If you have fun you will be more productive and thus excel at whatever you have chosen to do. It also helps your long term mental health to do stimulating stuff.
I think it is useful to familiarize yourself with a wide range of technologies. The more stuff you know the easier it will be to pick up more.
Welcome to the Lounge, and good luck.

I would recommend that you lkearn a marketable skill and how to market yourself.
For the first item, look at potential job listings and see what employers are seeking
For the second a book on marketing from you local library or book storewill serve

Hello,
It's time to learn JS fundamentals, after this try to focus to two or three framwork like AngularJs, React or vue
Good luck

Things to know to make money. Hmmm... Postscript and Micro-printing? 
Oh. Oh, seriously? JavaScript + HTML5 + CSS3. If you really serious, C#. Hey I made a decent living for the last 30+ years on them (on C/C++ any way).
Try not, Do, or do not, there is no try for couple years.
And if you are really, really, REALLY SERIOUS, I don't see any path other than go through a 4-5 years of reputable academic university and get a computer science degree. Period.

Ok, this is borderline programming? Has anyone here played with the RTL SDR dongles? The SDRSharp software was open source, but has since been taken down. I'm hoping to find some info, so I can program the things! They are pretty neat.
For abpout $20.00 you can get a dongle that is a real software defined radio. It covers 24MHz to about 3GHzincluding the TV broadcast bands and it is apparently possible to retrieve the raw I Q streams to receive all of the MW LW and HF bands!

Does anything broadcast on MW, LW, or HF any more? I thought it was all digital or at the bare minimum FM now...
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Yes, there is plenty of programmingf broadcast on MW, LW and HF There was an international conference on the subject in early March in Philadelphia. I attended as I do each year in March.
There were about 300 people from all over the world Of course US and Canadians were the majority, but there were Italians, Germand and Australians as well.

Broadcast signals can be Right-to-Left ?

|

they are sign waves AM and FM signals

I had bought USB FM SDR and used with SDR#,
SDR Sharp is still available on their site

Yep indeed.
Iv'e been into RTL SDR for a couple of years now.
I actually have one hooked up to my PC< And a proper antenna/Ariel outside on the room of my house with a cable coming in.
Apart from making a bloody good Digital TV service (I can watch TV in a window on my desktop while I work) I can grab pager signals, mobile phone paging broadcasts, RDS info (From FM transmissions) to grab things like traffic reports.
The device I have works from 200khz right up to 2.5Ghz so I can even grab 802.11b/g/n home wifi transmissions with it (Signal's not too good however)
Now that said, I will admit, Iv'e not tried much in the way of programming it directly, however, it's not difficult from what I'm told.
The main software folks use is called SDR# and is written in C#
There is a library available (the same one SDR# uses) and I believe it's on NuGet. There doesn't seem to be very much documentation about it though.
Most folks in the community (Myself included) are happy using the existing tools, and then running recordings through sub modules by routing the sound with windows drivers like VB Audio's virtual audio cable.
In the rare few cases where there's not a tool to deal with the data stream, then you have things like "Pothos" (Pothos SDR) which provide you with a sandboxed development environment, where the hard work of aquiring the signal is done for you, and all you need to do is rig up the processing.
To be fair, there's actually very little int he way of programming resources for these things ont he windows platform, if you really, really wanna make some good use of it, you need to start looking at Linux based OS's
There's software there for example that allows you to take your files and turn them into audio wave files that sound like old 1980's cassette recordings, and then transmit them over the radio waves.
In fact there are a bunch of hams around the UK, that have actually set up their own private little internet service, that you can only get at via an SDR radio and a correctly tuned ariel.
As for the few folk that are questioning what's still available on SHortwave, Longwave, Medium Wave etc try it and see.
There's plenty of online frequency guides, you can find Air Traffic COntrol, Broacasts from weather and scientific sattelites, heck it's even possible to grab the ariel photography transmissions from some of them to get almost realtime images of what the earth looks like from outter space.
A great place to start is the Spiritual Home of RTL SDR on the windows platform, and then explore the community and blog links from there.
It's a fascinating world, and I'd actually do more if I had time, but unfortunately I have to many folks wanting me to do boring "Game Changing & Exciting" "Line of Business Websites" most of the time

Thanks for the reply.
I've had a Flex radio Flex1000, since the first came out about 15 years ago. It covers 0-50MHz with a direct conversion receiver and 1 watt transmitter. I wrote the software to take the I and Q streams and process for the normal ham modes and take audio from the ccpomputer to transmit in a;ll the normal modes. I used a 2.4kHz IF implemented in the software to provide image rejection and higher order mixing products. It was a fantastic radio! Too bad I can't use it anymore. It requires a bi directionalparallel port for control and I haven't seen one of those for a long time.
I also have a Flex1500 which is also pretty nice, but not as sensitive as the 1000. It does all the DSP on an internal chip, so it isn't easy to get t oo the raw IQ signals! I've been in contact with Flexradio. I used to live in Austin, where they are headquartered, but There's no easy wat to get the raw signals like on the 1000.
As faras thr RTL-SDRDongles, I have one and it works fine with SDR#, but I want to do my own special processing. I asked about getting the raw I Qignsals on the Forumsand was told to look at the SDR# code, since it's open source, Unfortubatelt the uathor closed the project and withdrew the project from GitHub, so no luck there. I got the product sheets for the chips involved, but no useful info there either.If you have any other ideas, I would really appreciate it!
I want to get the dongles in bulk and write software for some specialized purposes. I've already done market analysis, but I need to get the raw I Q datato proceed.

Yes unfortunately it did go closed source, because the original authors did something that seems to be happening with more frequency in OSS these days, they declared they where never ever going to sell, then when the user base got large enough, they backed out of that promise and either went commercial or sold to the highest bidder.
In the case of SDR Sharp I believe they went to the highest bidder. and on top of that, the original Developer changed it to some crazy license, then went bat sh*t crazy and went on a suing spree against every person on the planet that dared to make an SDR capable app using C#, claiming that everyone violated the SDR license (You can look at my code to see how it work,s but your not allowed to use anything that's remotley similar to anything I wrote).
Beacuse of his attitude, many in the communty basically gave him a single digit and went and forked the code, then squirreled it away where he couldn't see it, some didn't bother hiding it, and basically waved the single finger in his face.
Eventually he just gave up being a jerk, threw his toys out the pram, sold it all and closed down his project. Now the actual SDR# app is commercial, but there are a lot of others still available that use the same (or similar) C# code base which was made public before all of this kicked off.
The company that bought it tried to get all the previous copies taken down (I believe the original author stipulated they had to do this in his contract to sell it to them) , but ultimately they where not able too, and soo many derivitives where built.
You can find a full list of them Here
Like many, I do know where you can get a copy of the original source code before it was closed down, but for obvious reasons I can't put links info in this post as that might cause problems for CP, so your gonna have to hunt me down privately and ask me about that one
You can find me easy enough however, I'm not difficult to find in the .NET community ....
