Short answer: focus on the history fundamentals before anything else.
**Why:** once you have done it once, the second time takes half the effort. Specifically with history: is inseparable from language.
**Watch out for:** jumping in without a clear goal. This catches a lot of people who assume history is simpler than it actually is.
**To go deeper:** find 2–3 real examples from people who have dealt with it in production.
Realistic time to feel confident: faster than you think once you get the first working example.

Honest take, because I wish someone had told me this earlier.
Everything you will read about history will make it sound more complicated than it is. Here is what 7 years of working with zulu has actually taught me.
What most guides don't mention is how forgiving the process actually is when you're starting.
What actually moved the needle for me: I stopped trying to understand everything before starting, and just committed to building one real thing instead of more tutorials. After that, things started moving much faster.
The one thing I would prioritise: do not compare your beginning to someone else's middle.
The learning curve is real but it is not as steep as it looks from the outside.
