What's your educational background?

I see suggestions for a specific programming language, but software engineering is not about a specific programming language.

I'll give an illustration. You want to learn how to be a house framer. You will need to learn how to use a drill, a saw, a hammer, a level, but these are tools.

However, what you really need to learn as a house framer, is how to read construction plans, and all the steps involved in framing a house.

Then they can start using an electric drill, an electric saw, a hammer, a level, etc. to implement the construction plans.

@Northwest I dabble and learned a bit years ago, but I'm not in the developing field. C++ actually.
