Hello there! I am a beginner programmer and I am very interested in going further in this path. But how would you suggest gaining experience and learning better and such? Like, where should I go to look for a positon on a team to fill, or should I gain more experience and knowledge first?

Also, does anyone know of a helpful site where they provide like, all of the modls, animated and such, and to help people, they give it to you so you can program it? Or anything like that? Because I really want to program a simple little 3d thing, but I can't model or animate to save my life....
