Ok.
First step>define what you want to be. There are different subjects inside computer science
Second Step> Define the language that you want to learn first. The first language is hard to learn, but after it you will understand others fast. C, Cplusplus, javascript, python are recommended.
Third Step> Put effort and dedication and TIME into this. Search in different pages, ask others. Read online books. Be original
