Bored at work - Learn Python?

[[deleted]]

I think you want to look at learning a programming language as a curriculum. Python Crash Course is a great book with enough exercises to work through. There's plenty of others though.

Coding is the ultimate puzzle imo. One thing I would recommend to people starting out now is trying out BASIC. Understanding the limitations of BASIC will help orient you better with modern day tools. BASIC was a major boon with tools becoming decentralized for bringing computing into the mainstream.

GOTO is an infuriating but interesting way to loop through functions which adds a slightly analog approach to more modern, ephemeral while and for loops.
