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.

    One thing that has not been mentioned that will make a big difference: join an online community.

    When you get stuck or you’re confused and need to ask a question, you need to have a place you can reliably go to for that. You will also be able to see others go through their learning journey which will encourage you to keep going.

    Someone mentioned The Odin Project already, but they have a very big and wholesome community.

    My specialty is web development, but the concepts of programming is pretty universal. Feel free to DM me personally if you want some help.
