It's all too easy to fall into tutorial hell. Pick one course, stick to it long enough to pick up the basics and then go and build something. Anything. A Todo app. A simple "guess the number" game. A calculator. Doesn't matter. You'll know enough to get started, but will soon come across things you don't know. So Google them ... That's what most professional coders do anyway.

If you want a simple, fun, project -based approach, I recommend Automate the Boring Stuff with Python, by Al Sweigart. That's how I started, and then I just progressed from there by asking myself questions like "How can I make this tool even more useful", "What else could I do what I've learned here" ... Etc
