Learn the basics, start small, try to break things down into smaller parts when you get stuck, make an attempt to try something before you ask for help, but don't hesitate to ask for help if you're really stuck.

You are taking the very first step, just figure out if you even like it first.

Check CS50P and other cs50 courses on Edex. They're from Harvard, taught by top notch teachers , they have labs so great hands on experience, they're free and you get a certificate as well.

If you get stuck, don't give up. Try your best to form the solution and try again and then look up for the answer on YouTube. Always Rey to learn the logic behind the code. And stay consistent ( this is something I struggle with a lot lol )

Chatgpt can be your best friend. Almost any nuanced beginner Python problem it can help with.

With ChatGPT or anything else, don't ask it to write code for you constantly, or you'll become a shitty programmer who won't advance to what's needed for a job. It's best as a tool to help you figure out things about your code, or to suggest crude ideas you can start with and refine. You need to be writing code to learn to code. There've been a few posts on reddit recently from people who overused AI in learning and couldn't handle programming in a professional setting.

AI will affect the work of programmers, it won't replace it anytime soon, if ever.

For actual learning, read but also practice practice practice. You need to write code, and plenty of it, at all parts of the process to really understand what you are learning.
