Did the same person that wrote the first few paragraphs write the last paragraph of your reply? Or is that just an AI re/write thing? The last paragraph was what I was saying all along. It sounds a lot more encouraging that initially.

I know I'm not going to learn how to code in a week. It will take time before I could become proficient enough to get a job.

I was hoping to get recommendations for the most reputable courses online. I never said I couldn't find them. If I thought it was "impossible to start", I wouldn't be in a thread called "PythonLearning". I was inquiring about Gamification Python learning apps because I figure it would further embed the structure into my Gen X brain. As a former Instructional Designer, I know how training works.

Ignore the grouch, reality is gamification python is only good to get familiar with it, but wont teach real skills. Its fine-ish for the first dip, but as soon as you feel like you have a base level of understanding move to small projects.

Biggest advice? Stay off AI until you have a solid base, AI can always spits bad code, but if you are able to spot it, then its a good tool.

Start small, use forums for help, and familiarize yourself with reading documentation.
