Just watch this free course! To learn programming

If you're a beginner wanting to get into programming, before you dive into framework X and language Y, please do yourself a favour: just watch this video.

I'm not affiliated with the creator in any way, but it's easy to just dive into something and start building. It's easy to follow along a Next.js or Django or Laravel course and then just build something.

The problem with that approach is that you just learning how to be a language/framework implementor. Computer science matters and will help you greatly as you progress along in your career.
