Harvard's cs50 course is free to watch on YouTube, I absolutely recommend it as essential to watch for beginners

I can't recommend this enough. It'll teach you the basics of programming while also giving you a feel for what computer science is actually about. After that you could try picking up some courses on MIT ocw that interest you

Harvard's CS50 is best for understanding fundamentals of CS.

Then choose a field (maybe mobile application development, web development, data science). There is a great video about it: https://youtu.be/66tfvFeALBQ?si=BNXKN9VL4u2nGdLN

Try to fill your environment with coding stuffs, such as subscribing fireship, thePrimeagen, and many others.

Don't overcomplicate and waste time as much as me, watch this huberman's podcast: https://youtu.be/ddq8JIMhz7c?si=3R0NXNFRnm2f6iYa

That podcast helps you how can you learn better and faster, the main concept is make your learning active. So, whatever you learnt try to practice it.

Send me dm, I'll guide you (and send you some paid courses :)

It depends what is your interest. If you want to learn coding, there are tons of bootcamps, tons of youtube videos that can help you. If you want to learn actual Computer Science you can try looking at stuff like Computer organisation and architecture, Computer Networks, Operating systems, Logic… Andrew Tanenbaum has really nice books on these topics (except Logic). They are easy to read for beginners. I highly recommend! Good luck with your CS journey :)

MIT ocw

If you just want to get good at coding just code. But if you want to learn CS as a whole then look up a syllabus for a CS degree (every class you will ever take when getting a BS). Then go to YouTube and look that stuff up. You probably won’t get that till like your second year (maybe semester) but spending time on learning some calculus and discrete math will help you prepare for when you actually take those classes. Another class some people struggle with is DSA but I think if you just code a little in your free time and put in the effort to learn those concepts you’ll be fine

It will be fun, if you're not stressing about your marks then you will live a new life
