How do I go about this? Are there any free resources that’ll help me get started?

I see people advising to start with a small project, but you need to get some basics down right? What language? How to develop it and stuff?

My only experience is some very basic C programming classes I took during school.

Imo, the main problem is that it does the job for you and you don't learn anything. It's great at explaining concepts though.

Along the same lines, I would suggest to never copy/paste code. Physically writing it helps your brain remember.

Yea, just copy/pasting code without already understanding it is a bad move.

If you deliberately drive GPT into a certain direction with the prompts about a specific topic and the model has been trained on the subject matter, its accuracy will be higher. If you ask GPT about a less popular language that it has little or no training on, its answer will likely be garbage.
