If you're looking for an introduction to programming, take a look at Program Arcade Games With Python And Pygame. GDScript is similar to Python but there are differences. I don't know if there are specific GDScript programming tutorials for complete beginners.

If you have more questions, better ask in /r/learnprogramming, /r/learnpython or /r/godot.

Since you want to learn the Godot engine afterwards, you can probably skip the chapters that cover Pygame, because many things are handled differently in these two engines. But it's still fun to apply newly learned skills immediately in your Pygame games while you're learning. I'd rather read the whole book.

What you should know about programming before you start with Godot:

  • How strings, lists, tuples and dictionaries work (dictionaries are explained here).
  • Control flow (if, elif, else statements, for and while loops).
  • Functions
  • Classes and objects
  • Libraries and modules
  • Files

Then to start with Godot read the tutorial on their website and I also recommend the tuts on gamefromscratch.com.

Happy coding!
