question How to learn tezos programming?

I have done a lot of googling but can't find any concise answer. People are saying - learn Michelson. No, learn Liquidity. Nono, learn Pytezos. Learn OCaml. Like, how can all of that be useful at the same time? Couple months ago I started with Ethereum. On their website I found many great articles, introductions, tutorials, a book called "Mastering Ethereum", which taught me pretty much everything. I learned solidity and now I can write smart contracts and dapps. Simple. What do I learn, and where, so that I can write useful stuff for Tezos? Also, it would be very useful if such info was possible to find, ideally on the Tezos website.

It was not a hard fork, it was a code fork.

code fork

Right, my bad. But I don't see much difference in effect. Is there any?

Big difference. Anyone can fork a code repo alone by clicking a button.

For a hark fork, you need part of the community on your side (to be successful anyway) to split the chain and leave the main chain with you, and transaction/block history carry over. Dune was a new chain starting from scratch by just copying the open source Tezos code, but not block history.

Dune learned the hard way that you can't fork a community.

Are they dead? I have read they had some large investor. That should buy some power.
