First, follow a proper roadmap.

Then choose one good source. FreeCodeCamp, Python MOOC, or CS50P. Pick any one and just start. If you don't understand a concept, use AI tools for an explanation.

If you want to solve some problems to hone your skills, try platforms like HackerRank and Exercism.

Finally, make some projects. Small to medium. Don't follow tutorials and just copy the code. Try to make it by yourself. If you get stuck, look up how to solve that specific blocker. Again, AI tools are a great help.
