When learning to code it is important to master the base concepts and not just crash reams of "cut and paste" copied code. If you do this learning new languages will become easier.
The challenge of crypto coding is that there is a lot of material to assimilate and master.

and Jimmy Song's medium articles for BTC related stuff.
Wishing you all the best with the coding adventure.
