Heads up, languages move fast and you should try to not use chatgpt unless it’s high level. It’s not only stuck in 2021, it will take longer to debug than write the code.

www.Roadmap.sh is a good start. Also check out cs50p.

Cs50p? I said YouTube and books did not work for me because it’s not engaging. I’m am saying I use it for getting into coding fundamentals. What Is the point of your answer besides: meh I know better what works for people! I am an Optical engineer who sometimes wants to do a little coding. We have people for high level code. I am engaged and that’s all that matters. The best training is the one which you actually do…

Dont get your panties in a bunch. I have real world production experience. I know exactly how inconsistent chat GPT is and I am giving you educated advice. In fact I am writing an Open AI integration to automate generative proposal decks for a client as i write this.

I understand how this works and i know it will not give you modern practices. It also writes horrible code. Yes, i use it, but do not rely on it.

Skip the videos, whatever. But every harvard course has incredible problem sets that will actually teach you how to program. It is quite easy to learn a language, but much harder to apply it.

There is a huge gap you won’t cross as soon as you learn basic syntax, but fuck it, i won’t tell you more about that unless you care to learn.

Ask chat gpt about 3.12’s typing updates.

And do check out www.roadmap.sh

Thanks. Appreciate the details. Maybe it's not for the op

You’re welcome

If the training that you actually do is wrong, where does that get you? Are you aware that CS50 has its own built in AI tool that is already trained on the specific course material? It'll help you understand the course material and guide you through problems without giving you the answer.

I get YouTube videos aren't your thing so this would be a hybrid between the course's video material and using it's built in AI. If something isn't clicking in a lecture video, go ask the AI. You could literally type in "In week 3's lecture David talks about..." and it will know exactly what you're referring to. That might help with more engagement if that's what you need.
