Ask HN: What should a beginner learn in the first 500 hours in your area?

Hey HN, when I reflect on my own study in college or learning during early career, I feel if I am to do it all over again, while the effort is likely to to remain the same, knowing what the core concepts are and what to pay attention to would still be of great help. Thus I wonder in the area of your expertise, what would you recommend a beginner to study/learn/do in the first 100, 200, 500 hours? - What are the core concepts that one should understand first? - What are some of the small projects that one can do? - How would you design your own curriculum? Thanks!
