Starting from zero as a BA student need guidance

Starting From Zero As A BA STUDENT Need guidance

“I’m a B.A. student and recently started getting into tech/coding. I want to build a career in the tech industry, especially in software/AI side, but honestly I’m confused about the proper roadmap.

Right now I’ve started learning Python fundamentals, but there’s so much information online that it gets overwhelming.

Can someone guide me step by step like:

what to learn first,

what skills actually matter,

how much maths is needed,

how to build projects,

and how to become job-ready from zero?

I don’t come from a tech background, so I’d really appreciate beginner-friendly advice from people already in the industry.”

python basics then small projects, like data analysis scripts or simple web apps, matters way more than bingeing tutorials maths: algebra, stats focus projects + github but landing a first role now is way harder than it should be
