How to start with game development

Hello folks , I'm a cs guy with considerable programming knowledge in backend development and api designing .....but I'm really new to game development and it's been my childhood dream to develop a game of my own ....

Can u guys give me some tips on how to learn godot in the right way ...

I tried following some tutorials on youtube ....

When I try to implement stuffs on my own after watching those tutorials, I really feel stuck on what node to use in which scenarios etc...
