I'm not sure if you have any experience with any other programming languages or not, but if you're like me, it's probably easiest to just start by opening up a small addon and figuring out how it works. I hate the little random tasks you'll find in most "learn this programming language" guides that teach you the basic concepts but don't actually accomplish anything, like the classic "Hello world" example. I'm much happer diving into something that actually
does something, even if it's confusing at first.
By "small addon", look for something in the 10-30 lines of code ballpark.
