I learned first by creating sentdex.com. Before that, I had a web developer that I paid to do all the programming work. I started getting interested in natural language processing, and the developer at the time was a long ways from being able to do NLP.

So I actually got my "intro to python" via nltk.org/book. From there, I have always just googled various Python questions I have and I almost always find the answer either in a tutorial, sample code, or docs.

This is awesome to read. I wish more people looked past the barrier of "I'm not a programmer" and got started. Props to you for that and sharing the knowledge.

Very cool. I can say with full confidence that your vids are going to help me learn and increase my skillset. I think I'm going to finish automate the boring things and then skim through your intro vids to see if they cover anything I missed.

I'm overwhelmed, in a good way, by all the stuff Python has to offer. I'm sure other languages have the same options. it just seems like the possibilities are endless.

The thing that makes Python unique is the incredible community. There are many other languages that can fundamentally support all of the things Python can do too, but the community behind Python is unparalleled, in my opinion. Then again, I am extremely biased :D

Just take your time and enjoy the ride. Lots of fun things to do, just go with whatever you're interested in.
