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.

    I’d say install linux first as it will make things easier as python is built in and ts just a better OS all around.

    As for getting started you can use youtube Or some free books such as

    https://automatetheboringstuff.com/ https://inventwithpython.com/

    And more here https://pythonbooks.org/free-books/

    After a few videos and a book you will get the hang of it and get more confident in your abilities. Then do a project of your own

    There are other languages but python will allow you to make progress fast and you can branch out to a different language later of if you like.

      I really wish I could run Linux but almost all of the software I use for work is only on Windows.

      But I will say I am decent in following instructions and using the cli. My mum’s system runs linux and that has been a learning experience.
