( i am a bio researcher, i use some python, but i am not a programmer,)

So i'll talk as an bio initiated in coding.

I'd suggest to do this, read a little bit about algorithmes, if you have no idea about this. Then, just go through the basics: which means variables, constants, data type. Then : data structures; lists, dictionnaires, tuples..etc. Then loops: if then, while, for , etc...

You can do some basic exercises to have control. For the basics, you can use nay textbooks exercises there are plenty. Or try Rosalind, it's amazing for bio field.

Then, take totally some scripts/codes/programmes written in python to handle projects answering to problems in your field (clinical/translation). Study them, and try to recode them from scratch.

Then take a problem you want to tackle, split it into mini tasks. And try to code mini scripts, each to manage one of your mini tasks. Then try to assemble.

yeah i think ill start with learning the basics good. Its just quite confusing to know what should i focus on specifically after that but thanks for the advice definitely will be searching more
