How to get started in Revit API C# " Roadmap for success" 2022

Hello there!!

I'm looking for some input into Learning Revit and C# in 2022 as a self-taught.

I myself have experience in other coding languages.

However, for the purpose of other people, Can you reply to this as if I'm a complete beginner, that has a basic understanding of coding fundamentals, and I have also done structural and MEP courses in revit.

Where do I start? What is the best "road map"/steps for me to get where I need to be?

I'm looking for practice driven learning modules,

Good examples of beginner (8 projects), intermediate (3-5 projects), Advanced (1-2 projects).

Good github links to that are helpful that you found.

Also any other tips and tricks you may have.

Personally, I would start with the Macros. They are much easier to get running than a full blown addin:

Then I would download the Revit SDK toolkit, and BIP checker. You can find both of those with google.

Also, I would read the Revit Developers Guide in the Revit Help:

Help | Autodesk

And also search for and go through the "My First Revit Plugin". Its a good introduction, but harder than using Macros.
