A question for any programmers here.

Hey everyone, I'd like to know if there was anyone who knew of a program that would allow me to practice coding and software development that didn't require me to be a representative of some kind of business or something.

I tried a few programs that looked good but when I went to get them, I had to do a questionnaire that was asking questions about what kind of business I was and what I wanted to use this for and such. It annoyed me, as I wanted to get into that kind of thing but have no real way of practicing because I have no software that would allow me to do so.

Any advice?

I have tried that, but anything I download expires after only 30 days and I have to register the product online in order to keep using it.
