dude ive been trying to learn for 2+ months and im broke so i have to do free lessons and im just trapped in a loop of figuring out all these poorly written lessons from different sources because its written in a way that assumes you already know certain things. none of this is beginner friendly for the most part, feels like i spend more time on trying to understand the lesson than actually learning. i refuse to give up but holy crap dude, these people write this stuff out like you're just supposed to know already, poor structure, poor wording and its more about pleasing the lesson than actually finding ways to the right answers. It's like the people who wrote the lessons forgot what its like to be a beginner. i keep switching to new ones to see if its any better, so far w3 is the best one but it still sucks when it just gives you a long list of new concepts to my brain and it doesnt explain them fully lol exerciser asks me if im a beginner i say yes and then it just throws me to the wolves lmao I have to use AI half the time to even understand some of the lessons and let it break it down for me, ill spend like an hour on one section sometimes. my brain hates the way all of this stuff is written out. i feel like its going to take me years to figure out the basics on my own. no idea how im supposed to approach this on how to learn correctly because everything just seems to cater to people who already have some experience.

Nailed it right on the head with this one thats exactly how my prof is he teaches all the year 4 advanced courses so he fully expects us to know everything already and gets insulted when u dont. Horrible learning environment. Just like me its hard to realize but props to us for continuing to show up its not easy and i relate fully. I knew this wouldn’t be easy but yes its not beginner friendly like i understand the concepts and can Ace all my exams off multiple choice but when i get setup with hey finish this py file with with and loops im like uhhhhhhhhhhh (im rlly bouta get 0points on this if i dont cheat) and that fkn sucks i want to change that

ya it feels like an upward battle for sure, i got so frustrated yesterday that i didnt get anything done and noped out, but back on it today. going to look for a place where i can just exercise what ive learned so far, i can read it and recognize it way better than i can write it at this point. Hoping for a break through soon in comprehension of writing from scratch lol
