How do I go about this? Are there any free resources that’ll help me get started?
I see people advising to start with a small project, but you need to get some basics down right? What language? How to develop it and stuff?
My only experience is some very basic C programming classes I took during school.
Language: Python. It does reasonably well at staying out of your way from learning programming instead of the quirks of your language.
It’s so long ago I learnt to program that it feels like my sources are outdated by now.
