The way I first learnt.

Scratch from a young age.

codeclub.org Python. Pulling data from APIs and showing it. Using pyautogui to do silly automation. Reading about denial of service attacks from cloud flare blog posts, then googling "send UDP packet python", sticking it in a for loop and a while loop, and crashing the router. Circumventing the school firewall in increasingly elaborate ways.

Subscribing to every computer related subreddit possible and learning through osmosis.

Building things, breaking things, and learning as I go. It's been good fun.
