MODERATORS
Since you have programming experience getting started shouldn't be too difficult for you. You can jump straight into the introduction in the docs or just jump straight into the your first game section. It gives you a quick intro and tells you how to get around.
After that you can check out the ultimate introduction to Godot 4 video. It's a massive 11 hour video that teaches you almost everything you need to know (in 2D game development). Good luck.
I can only support this answer. Especially the official doc's are great.
I generally recommend not to blindly follow a tutorial. Instead think of your own little game (something of the scope that could be a mini game in Mario Party) and than divide it in small problems and start solving one after the other with the recourse mentioned above.
After finishing the first game your ready to make any game you want.
Agreed, hopefully since op has dev experience he learned that lesson long ago
