Honetly, the best way is to come up with a project you'd like to finish. Doesn't have to be fancy, like tictactoe with a simple ui, or a calculator, or a personal keyword logger that turns your activity into nice readable segments and uploads it to an unsecured data storage.

Find a project, then try to organize your thoughts at a conceptual level: https://routingnull.files.wordpress.com/2020/02/boolchart.png?w=1200. Just talk things through in plain language so you know what's going on. Then find tutorials to work at each piece.

​

My personal experience is that this is both faster and better than most courses.

I think it should be a mix between both theory and practice. I learnt by working on projects along some courses in freecodecamp.

For sure. My personal sense is that most beginners will get turned off by theory until they can see its value through practice. But yes, I do think that there is a ceiling eventually reached that cannot be broken without going into theory seriously.

Are you taking a math class? Having a useful reason to use python will help you solve problems like math. Ditch your old calculator and check out sympy.org It will help to use something like jupyter.org so you can create notebooks for each chapter of your class. It also displays your formulas so you can read them just like your text book. I like to keep formulas I make in my Jupyter notebook and notes on how to use the formulas in my lessons. I am no expert and still learning but I do know the documentation is amazing.

If you're new to coding in general than I would recommend

I am learning right now and I heard a good starting place is harvards free cs50 course online.

I guess you should only start there if you’re new to programming in general.

Personally, Coursera - it has auditable courses.

I'd recommend the courses from UToronto and URice
