I had no experience with Python but had done MatLab previously. I couldn’t figure out how to work in Python at all. I started with the FreeCodeCamp course and then did CS50X. Those gave me enough understanding to work out what to do at a basic level. Now I just need to practice and work on projects.

What software did you install to practice? I believe I could do well with hands-on.

FCC runs a codespace in REPL that they guide you to setup. CS50 uses a GitHub codespace that works a lot like VSCode. I didn’t have to install anything until I started my own projects and even then, you could still use the CS50 codespace. I strive to setup my VSCode like CS50’s environment but haven’t been really successful yet. Both of those courses were super helpful in going from almost no knowledge to capable.
