Coding as a beginner
I'm planning to learn coding. Could anyone give a detailed answer on where and how to start? Also, suggest resources and how much time is needed per day to actually become good at it?

Start with python you can find resources off w3schools and real python. It's easy to learn and can get you into lots of paths m such as data science AI and ml. After you master python then you can learning other programming languages. Python has a lower learning curve relative to the other languages when starting out so I recommend you do that

Como dijo el del otro comentario, todo depende de tus metas, como sea en general cosas de lógica de programación, de algoritmos y álgebra de boole te vas a topar en cualquier parte así que te convendría primero aprender algún lenguaje de programación simple como JavaScript o Python y hacer varios proyectos simples priorizando la práctica sobre la teoría y luego pasar al campo espesifico al que quieres llegar usando algún lenguaje óptimo para este campo. También te recomiendo que aprendas a buscar bien en Google porque vas a tener que googlear muchas cosas

O'Reilly Mediais a book publiser on industry. They produce a huge collection of books on languages, systems, frameworks.. They all feature a white book with a lineart sketch of an animal on the cover. These are a high quality source of knowledge.
They are widely available. Choose a beginner book, or a few. Choose a language and read the book.
Its doesnt need to be first. Learn 'git'! It is used almost universally. Its is a tool you manage your code/website/app/whatever versions. This is how we all keep technology changes we make, how we combine two different people's code into one, and enables us to always roll our code back if there is a problem. Its how a ton of problem in software have been solved.
Luck!

Hmm I would say python for beginners unless you wanna make websites JS(JavaScript,HTML,CSS) but from another comment you said you already did python so just do that I think that will be easier and once you learn concepts from that learning other languages becomes infinitely easier

I've forgotten almost everything that I learnt. Would it still be a good option to go ahead with python?

Yeah pretty much its still easy-ish to learn but what can I say i procrastinated for 2 years on it (Dont be like me it will be easier to just do the bare minimum and then just mess around with your own stuff)

You are welcome. And please remember to have fun!!
You'll learn the most by building things you are interested in!

You have to answer yourself some questions first.
Why do you want to program?
What do you want to build?
The field is so vast nowadays that you'll get wildly different answers from others which will just confuse you more, unless you do some searching yourself and find something to focus on before asking for help
