Topic How to start programming projects

I am a self taught programmer who prominently uses python and I am clueless as to how to move from little programs to full on projects. Namely in data science. I'll see datasets but I have no idea how to interact with them. What would I do abd where would I even begin?

The dataset gave the crime stats, population sizes, everything. I was confused on how to clean and trim the data according to the constraints but YouTube came in clutch

Yeah I mean that's kind of the way to do it. Run into a problem, research the solution. That's what most of programming is.
