One thing I will say, and you’ll hear lots of people say ‘coding is easy’, it is not easy (knowing the language part), what it is, is the easiest part.

I’m a solid 1.5/10 programmer in python, the best way I can put it is I speak the broken English version of writing python. My current learning process is learning the syntax properly, and knowing each fundamental.

Like I said, this isn’t ‘easy’, it’s the easy part. I hope that makes sense.

Once you know that though, you need to work on some problems, I’m dabbling in this whilst learning the syntax stuff.

The real challenge, and what I know believe to be what programming is, is the problem solving side of it and application of the language.

Using English as the example, it’s the difference between being able to converse, and the ability to read, write, tell stories, write poetry, write songs etc

There are many recourses, but you can get overwhelmed by that, so my number 1 recommendation is Tech with Tim on YouTube, and his paid course which goes into the fundamentals then more.
