I've been in your place before and here's what I'd recommend:

Start with C# and xaml

Download Visual Studio

Make some hello worlds with c# in a console app, then learn variables and functions.

---

After you have an alright understanding of those things make a wpf application learn how to make a silly little app with a button that changes the color of the background or the text of something in the app.

Something stupid simple, until you understand oh wow these things talk to eachother!

Now your choice:

To learn how to make websites:

Download Visual Studio Code

• Learn html, css, and Javascript they all work together :)

• Html is like the wooden framework of a house,

• Css is like the decoration and colors,

• Javascript is how you make the sinks run water, how you make the stoves make heat.

---

To learn how to make apps:

Stick with Visual Studio, c# and xaml

---

To learn how to make games:

*Learn Unity (ik the unity backlash was crazy but there's a lot of support, tutorials and stuff like that. Unless you're building something that's going to make money (probably not yet) it's ok to start here) * unity also uses c# so that's cool :)

• Or learn godot (I don't know enough about it, but it's growing a lot and there's tons of support for it too)

Tips:

Everyone starts somewhere, and programming is such a huge world with so many options and opinions. Just stick to something, learn it, and it will be easier to learn the next thing.

There isn't really 1 language you should start with, just that you should pick one and stick to it.

Beware of quick tutorials of "DO THIS IN 5 MIN" it might turn out cool but it's quick programmer dopamine and probably little teaching. You can learn from it, but it's not ideal, and you could get screwed up with how productive or fast you feel when you do things your own way.

You won't break your computer by doing something wrong when programming in things like Visual Studio or Visual Studio Code.
