Can anyone recommend a good start to get into coding and programming? Like a really good intro to C++ of something

you can't go wrong learning C first. it's like learning latin. most other good languages take strong cues from it

Also as an aside to this, the first language you learn is going to feel like you're building a tool by using the tools you're designing the tools to build. It's circular at a point and can be a bit hard to grasp some of the deeper concepts. Stick with it! The first language is the hardest but they all follow the same general principles.

C is fine. C++ is also fine if you want to go extra deep into a single language.
You'll want to grasp data structures as soon as possible. Then you may dive straight into algorithms. At the same time you may expand into Python and JavaScript if you want to get into data science or web development.

Here's a short bootcamp for C:

though I'd love to find something similar for python or c++

Learn by doing. I would hire a student who started by making a shitty unity game and constantly strived to improve, later showing expertise by contributing to open source projects. Data structures and algorithms and UML diagrams are easy to teach to someone with a good programming mind and can be done on the job. It's teaching how to program to a university educated idiot that's tough.

Don't start learning programming with C++. It will just be harder and require you to learn more low-level stuff that won't be useful for your first few projects.

Instead, use Python or C.

If C is Latin then Algol is proto indo-european.
