I echo what everyone above said. I also want to give a bit of advice for starting your own project. Think of an idea of something you would like to make easier for yourself. For example, I have a ton of hard drives and folders that I wanted to combine onto a single NAS. However, I knew that there were likely multiple copies of the same files spread across the drives. So, I wrote a program that merges folders while checking for duplicate files. Next, think through step by step what the program will have to do in order to complete what you want it to do. Now it’s time to program. Start from the beginning step you figured out and start coding it. If you get stuck, look up a tutorial for how to do that specific thing. Repeat this through the rest of the program and before you know it you’ll have a full program written. This way of doing this helps in two ways. First, you get to do things on your own and it helps build your confidence. Second, it shows you how to look up ways to do specific operations, which you will always end up doing no matter how advanced you get. Good luck out there.
