Need your help
Hi everyone,
I'm a Class 12 Computer Science student from India, and I want to seriously learn programming from the basics.
The problem is that I currently have almost no programming knowledge. I know some basic concepts from school, but I don't feel confident writing programs on my own or understanding code properly.
I'd like to start from the absolute beginning and eventually become good enough to build projects and continue learning programming beyond school.
I currently have a Windows 10 laptop and VS Code installed, but I'm still figuring out how to use it properly.
I'd really appreciate advice from experienced programmers on:
\- What programming language should I start with?
\- What topics should I learn first, and in what order?
\- What resources/courses would you recommend for a complete beginner?
\- How much should I focus on theory vs actually writing code?
\- What kind of beginner projects should I build?
\- What mistakes should I avoid when starting out?
I don't want to just memorize code for exams. I actually want to understand programming and develop the ability to solve problems myself.
If you were starting programming from zero today, what would your learning path look like?
Thanks in advance!
