On “Interested in computer science..”

1. very hard but rewarding (if you like it) 2. while (alive) practice and learn 3. very important 4. Most of the big companies care 5. Very challenging but very rewarding if you put the effort into it. 6. Watch this video: [video , if you're still convinced at the end, buy a book/course online and build a project. Draw your conclusions at the end.

I don't know what you mean by even before "Hello World" to be honest. An executable printing hello world is about the simplest program you can make. Based on what you've written I'd recommend this [video It doesn't focus on specific syntax for any programming language, but the concepts and fundamental understanding needed.
