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.

    What type of idea do you have? You can “generally” use any of the popular languages, but some are better suited to rapid/beginner use for certain applications

      Some linux iso management, some CAD software steps that I want to automate. My very general target is to get comfortable with trying to look up documentation, scripting and make my own code bashes for local use cases.

        Interesting. One avenue of research I’ve found is to start with the target system and learn what interface they offer. Is it an API, a custom socket, etc. Then work back… you’ll have some clues to make a language selection
