    There’s pretty much only two ways you can go about it in my experience:

    1. Fail forwards and try cobbling something together, constantly using search engines to fix errors or finding libraries or getting help with those libraries. One thing you’d have to figure out is an order of operations - what do you code and in what order, which might be tough for someone new but I’d say it’s well worth it.

    2. Find some tutorial to a project and try following it (those that have step by step guide on what you should do without letting you copy paste code), then using the knowledge you gain to do the way #1 above to hopefully have an easier time figuring out the order of operations, plan out your program and what you’re gonna be coding.

    Don’t think you can avoid getting hands-on and coding something up by yourself. General coding tutorials can only get you so far and are often harmful if abused too much (aka being stuck in tutorial hell).
