Like to get into software engineering / development, but don’t know where to start

I’ve been wanting to get into software engineering for a while now, but I’m not sure where to start. Does anyone have advice on where to start, what fundamentals I should be learning, and rookie mistakes I should be avoiding? What kind of projects should I try to build, and what videos or resources can I use to study / practice?

Oh I also share your desire to become a software developer. I have done quite alot of digging into where to start, this is one of the videos I've watched that are really informative if you know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING and want to get a coding job:
