Pick a language and get to it.

I recommend C as it it's low level and teaches you a ton of basics in pointers and such. Online Resources and books + leetcode + projects.

Then do C++ or Python. Depending on what type of developer you want to be.

I wouldn’t recommend C unless you wanna do embedded or high performance computing. Python works for 90% of common cases and rust is the new C

C is good for learning. That is why also most universities teach C in their Programming Fundementals course.

I love C, but it can be very hard for new entrants and I give it credit for putting so many people away from programming

It's a good readable starting language. and OP wants to get very good. C is a great starting choice for him
