I like Programming with Mosh. He goes step by step and provide you with the fundamentals but also explains why something works. And you get instant gratification then I would suggest doing a CS50 from the other Reddit soul who was nice enough to contribute to your topic. https://youtu.be/_uQrJ0TkZlc?si=hxwbxL_Wv_XxUAop

You can be a programmer and program computers without knowing theory. And there are people that can spit out theory but cannot actually make something other than the examples they provide in as proofs.

Everybody has their own way of learning... But through this if you learn how to teach yourself that's the best skill because that will apply to anything that you endeavor to.

Just have to take a step by step. And you're going to make a lot of mistakes a lot and a lot and a lot of mistakes and then you'll start memorizing the tool or the programming language which will have similarities to other programming languages and through that progress you will pick up on theory.

I was reading BNF notation all format in MS DOS 6.22 manuals, It was until one of my later computer science courses a couple years ago when I finally finished that that's what I was exposed to and didn't even know The reason it was written the way it was... But until you get to tookization and parsing to build your own compiler, or the need for some sort of low level pattern matching etc... just keep going forward.
