First day:
Follow tutorials. Get something to compile.
First week:
Download an IDE, particularly a JetBrains product if you can. They're really amazing, especially if you're new to coding. Try to make something simple.
First month:
Find a friend who knows how to code. Ask for advice when you get stuck.
Second month:
Master the debugger. Learn every single thing you can about how it works. Seriously. This will save you a ton of time in the long run. Learn absolutely everything about it, especially conditions, step into and watches.
After that:
Write as many projects as you can - and complete them. If you're having trouble with something, ask your friend how they might approach the problem. At this point, the biggest thing you need to learn is how to ask the right questions.
