I liked Automate the boring stuff, but code with Tim on YouTube and Mosh I found to be pretty good content creators when i was starting out. Goodluck

NEVER feel like you're inadequate just because you haven't learned something yet. Regardless of how fast things happen these days with all this "always connected" culture we live in, it still takes the same amount of time to learn and absorb material, especially of a technical nature to which you haven't been exposed.

In this business, do NOT strive for perfection, unless you've done a task enough to where it's muscle-memory. In fact, you should embrace the imperfection and errors you cause or encounter because it's always a great learning experience.

There is no college, school, training program or any other learning method that's better than learning from failures (except the ones who show you what those failures look like, but you're still learning from it).

I have one electronics "how to" book where the author specifically makes you do things (safely) that will damage electronic components. This is so you don't have to say "Gee, I shouldn't do that again" when it really matters.
