the hard thing is initially learning the logic because program flow, data storage and basic stuff like that doesn't really make sense in terms of regular logic and differs a little between different types of languages (in OO languages you need to worry about classes and inheritance, lower-level you need to think about memory management, instruction sets and optimising etc.).
once you understand the different parts and how to put a program together it's pretty straightforward to just look up the individual commands and functions you want to use

Reading books is great and always a good idea. However I find it can be hard to focus on code for a long period of time, that's why in person courses are good if you want to get into IT. There are a lot of free government funded courses available. There are also things like w3schools.com. If looking for a first project the source code for the site we are on is all available at the github link at the bottom of the page, and there are a number of minor things that could be fixed up here.

Reading books, watching videos, listening to podcasts, doing tutorials, actual changing code, all of it is good. The guy who founded Cisco said you have to spend 10,000 hours at something to be an expert at it (that's about 5 years of 40 hour weeks). Expect to put in a large number of hours. There's a reason why IT at the upper levels is dominated by sad guys who have nothing else going on than doing IT, or who spent their whole teenage years doing nothing but IT, cos those are the people who put in the hours. IT is flooded with people who just want to do the bare minimum asked/required, and then they wonder why they don't get anywhere.

Game design is starting to appeal to me. Not something I want to do either, just need a hobby.
