If you have a good grasp on classical computer science, pick up a copy of this. There are numerous PDFs around the internet, pretty sure there is one on libgen.io. It has been sort of the "bible" of quantum computing for years now, and will teach you everything you need.

This will give you enough of an understanding of what kinds of problems QCs are good at, and how they work on the logical level. You'll be easily able to start writing code that can run on any of the current quantum computers, and understand languages like Q# more easily. You'll also be able to, if you're into this sort of thing, design your own algorithms.

The only thing I'll mention in terms of prerequisites for the book is: If you have linear algebra down, awesome, that will help. If you have dealt with complex numbers/complex exponentials before, even better. If you have some understanding of probability and statistics, even BETTER. You don't NEED understanding of those topics to learn from the book though - it covers them to the necessary degree. You'll be better off if you study those things along the way though.
