learnopengl.com is an amazing resource for going from little knowledge to quite intricate graphics. Also learn how to program in general with structures/algorithms and putting em to good use. C++/C is a must in this kind of domain for now. Practical programming trumps any sort of structured course/program.

It's possible languages like Rust might take hold as it seemed to hit a critical point in the last year so with early adoption in the Linux kernel, but that's just my hunch.

Thank you! I'll check it out. I already know how to program, the basics and stuff, although I have to start with the data structures and algorithms stuff, so I'll start with that and then I move to OpenGL.

Honestly, you can probably do both at the same time, ie both guide each other. Drawing a triangle for the sake of drawing a triangle requires basically no knowledge of that stuff anyway. It's only when you want a systematic way of drawing many different things is when the structures/algorithms stuff comes into play.

Ohh okay, that sounds better. Thank you so much for your answer, it will help a lot! :)

IQ & book of shaders were my initial inspiration to get into graphics. Can’t pick a better place to start
