@magicalgrrrl@indiepocalypse.social this isnt going to be good advice and i really wish i had good advice to give instead, but, the path i took was initially sitting down with a book about C and just going through it understanding it or not and over time it started making more sense and then id get bored of the book and want to make something myself, and from there its building on what i learned from the book and websearching recursively for finding out what to learn to do what i was imagining. building on that by reading other peoples code and trying to understand it.
again this advice sucks and im really sorry i genuinely wish i knew some good way :/

@magicalgrrrl@indiepocalypse.social this is so hard these days too, the internet doesnt make getting started easier, and the books are hard to find if you don't already know what to look for - i recommend learn (language) the hard way series - afaik its still free online and available in print too - i also recommend ritchie C but only if you're learning C, otherwise any basics book for the language you want to do - i wish i could help more, i love programming so much and i wish it were more accessible to people who want to pursue it
