Greetings fellow blockchain enthusiasts. I am determined to learn programming, and start contributing to this amazing project. Does anyone have any suggestions of where I should start? I am already pretty technically literate, familiar with using the terminal, been using various linux distro’s: fedora, debian, ubuntu, arch for many years. I just never dove deep into learning programming, and I believe the time now is to start.

Any kind soul want to point me in the right direction?

@onlooker  
All contributions are welcome, and there are many things to do.  
The project is very dynamic, so as a 1st hint, I would suggest reading the docs, the github and the slack.  
The github has a list of tasks/roles/bounties asking for help and tagged as such.

If you’re familiar with several linux distros, maybe you could help with the testing ?  
This also is a good entry point to understand the software.

This answer is 90% incomplete, I can complete it later.
