If by "quickly" you mean 1 day, then it is not gonna happen. Coding is a practice that comes from practice. You can't learn it overnight. But you can learn it faster than doing a 4 year Bachelor's degree. Coding is just telling the machine in its language what you want to do. What you want it to do depends on your project or task. Telling it in its language is what matters now. Any good programmer will have a strong basic. Basics are everything. So, first learn basic. The most important thing to become a good programmer is practice. You need to practice how to code by actually doing it. Get programming questions from the internet and write a code for it. Keep doing this and you will ready to get a Job.

Hey Esha, if you are from non-IT background and new to programming, then you should first clear your mind in which specific IT domain you want to pursue your career as a Software developer can be working on various different technologies. Then you can go through blogs or youtube videos to learn basics of any technology.

To start doing coding, you should first see the documentation from official site of that technology. You can also go through Edureka's courses to learn whatever technology you want as they provide really good course materials and also hand-on demos to make you understand better.
