The fact that learning a programming language is not learning programming. (To become a doctor in France, if you’re in high school, do you apply for a French Rosetta Stone program? Or do you apply to medical school?)
Learn programming Algorithms and Data Structures, then CS50: Introduction to Computer Science, is a good way to go. Then “learning programming” is just learning the syntax of the language you’re using. (Is it substr()? substring()? Does it start at 0? 1? Details. But if you know programming, you’ll know what substring of what string you need at that point.)
Learning the difference between programming and programming languages is something most people never get. Then they learn a programming language and think they know programming. (And their resumes end up in the “to be shredded” bin.)
