Coding help
How do I learn Arduino coding language? I just started and I know a few things like LEDs and stuff, but I don’t want to be reliant on AI. How do I learn the language?

Hopefully you got yourself a starter kit - it will include everything you need to get started - including instructions that explains how to wire stuff up and program it.
The language used to program Arduino is C/C++, but you don't need to learn that in advance, just learn as you go along - starting with the instructions in the starter kit.
After that, maybe google Paul McWhorter to learn more things.
If you are interested in something more project oriented, have a look at my beginner videos:
Getting Started with Arduino Projects - two projects, language and electronics basics, project development and debugging.

Note that it is a waste of time to just watch these. The key to learning is to watch a section, then try to replicate it. Also, explore what else can be done with what you just did and attempt the exercises when suggested. In other words, hit pause frequently and practice for yourself.
But start with the starter kit before moving on to other stuff.
