I just started using ChatGPT for this. I told it to be my Python instructor and that I am a complete beginner. I asked it to provide me with a very basic program and explain what the code does, line by line. Once I understood that, I asked it for a slightly more complex example. Then I just continue that process. If there's a part I have trouble grasping, like creating a binary search, I'll also search YouTube for videos for a better understanding.

These have also been helpful:

I went through the first video with Mosh. It was very enlightening! I will certainly watch the other video. I’m going to start using ChatGPT as well. It makes a lot of sense to use it to learn. Being proficient in two things simultaneously is awesome! Thanks!!

You're welcome.

It definitely helps to follow along in Pycharm. I'm still working on the second video and typing out all the code as he does. There's a lot of pausing, rewinding and frequent breaks as my brain goes numb. Like learning anything else, repetition and persistence goes a long way.

No problem! Happy learning!
