Documentation is always first destination. Then probably youtube or some other video lesson for beginners.

to add to what tanstaafl said renpy scrip is pretty straight foward, anything fancy you would like to make with it will mostly use more pure python coding skills, so if you are fresh with coding in general a beginners python course would help, but for most simple things renpy tutorials, the documentation and even gtp will get you covered.

The inbuilt tutorial is very helpful and you can see how the code works in real time.

If you want to learn python, I recommend boot.dev
It teaches something unrelated past the python lesson, but it can be useful nonetheless.

Not really...
yeah, maybe not python per se, i was thinking more about general code knowledge for things like minigames, battle systems, complex galleries, phones. things that code or logic experience are more important, but it is indeed kinda unecessary for a newbie trying to learn renpy.
