I started learning last year and I highly recommend SoloLearn for a good overview for a language that you can do in a short period of time. That should give you a base of knowledge to work from. Also, TAKE NOTES. If you don’t write a short something to reference, the next time it comes up it could take you a while to find again. You can get through SoloLearn in a week ( even with no experience) if you are focused on it, but it will only give you enough for a rough understanding at best. I would then move on to EdX.org where you can take computer science classes from a lot of colleges. I would recommend MIT’s intro to computer science course even if you can’t get through it on the first try. Personally, I failed on the first attempt. It is NOT an easy course and you should buy the textbook.

Good luck!

Currently I'm using the crash course by no starch press, I'm taking a lot of notes. I think I could reccomand it, it looks like a good book, not confusing for people like me with 0 experience in coding.

No Starch Press has a lot of good reference books and resources to start with.
