My advise, start on Auto mode while you learn then experiment with different programmings once you start learning.
And for fucks sake just stay away from the ACBA, anything they say, and anything they do. Bad advise from mediocre at best "photographers." The whole Spider-Man in a brick alley with undersized buildings fighting a million Marvel Legends hentchmen with paper cutout sound effects and poor white balance because "le we don do any shop" is bullshit.
Learn actual photography and you'll learn that post editing isn't just part of the process, it's ESSENTIAL especially on a DSLR because you'll end up with dull gray heavy colors
