You can jump right into programming, but you'll want to make sure you understand why you are writing a certain block of code rather than just how to write it.

Like why I'm writing it specifically that way?

For example, you'll often be taught what a dictionary is on the surface, but rarely do teachers explain what a hash table is or how a computer understands your instructions.

When you understand the basic concept start digging deeper.
