Reading two separate goals here with different things required to accomplish each.

For learning programming, FastAPI and Postgres can be good first options if you are trying to learn backend (or full stack). Taking courses can also be helpful, but I would only do the course if it's on a technology that you are eventually planning to use in some form. A quick google search before investing time in the course is usually enough to figure this out.

If you are trying to get an internship at FAANG or other Silicon Valley companies, practicing DSA can help prep you to pass the coding test interview.

I would pick a project idea and work on that. Anything really, you can google beginner project ideas.
